  • It was mesmerising to see 108ft Hanuman idol. The road to the temple is very well built, neat and clean surroundings, a beautiful view of the snow clad mountains from the temple, all these things...

  • Very Nice place, we visited on April first week. The climate was awesome. We walked to this temple from the old bus station Shimla. It was like a small hike took about an hour to reach the top. The view from the hill and the midways were so adorable ♥️😍. We really enjoyed every single steps. There are paid vehicle services also there to the top, but I would recommend you to go by Walk. Definitely you will enjoy unless you are not disabled person. There is a small cable Car was there on the top. That’s a very small length of cable car the price is about 500INR on the Time i was there. The temple also provides very tasty 😋 meal for devotees. Definitely you will enjoy the Nature and peace ✌️ #should go
  • I recently visited Jakhu Hill and was thoroughly impressed with the beauty of the place. The weather was perfect and the view from the top of the hill was breathtaking. I could see the entire city of Shimla from the top and it was an incredible experience. The fresh air and peaceful atmosphere made for a perfect escape from the busy city life. Jakhu Hill also has a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, which is a popular pilgrimage site for Hindu devotees. According to legend, Lord Hanuman rested on this hill after his journey from the Himalayas with the Sanjeevani herb. It is said that the imprints of Lord Hanuman's feet are still visible at the temple and are considered to be sacred by many.
  • A very beautiful and divine place of Shimla city. Jahku temple is located in the highest peak of Shimla and is accessible either by road or by ropeway. Taxi can be hired from the ridge or even from the bus stand and they charge you approx 600rs from ridge to temple and back. It's a very quite place but beware of monkeys as they snatch your belongings and other stuff. Just don't look into their eyes. Watch out my pics for more.
  • Jakhu Hill is a must-visit destination for those traveling to Shimla, India. The hill offers stunning views of the city and surrounding mountains, and is home to the Jakhu Temple, dedicated to the Hindu monkey god Hanuman. The temple is a popular pilgrimage site and can get crowded, but the climb to the top is worth it for the views. The hill is also a popular spot for hiking and trekking, and there are many trails to explore. The trek to the top can be challenging, but the views from the summit make it well worth the effort. Overall, Jakhu Hill is a great destination for those looking for a bit of adventure and beautiful scenery.
  • This is seriously a beautiful place to visit. The view from the top is so serene and beautiful. Every spot at this place is Insta worthy seriously. From dhaba to an amazing restaurant (Cafe Under Tree) you will get everything. There is a lot of place to sit and enjoy the view. Be careful of the monkeys although they didn't bug us much, but we saw two incidents where they went after food and sorta scared the people. Please don't litter around here. As, the monkeys tend to pick it up and spread it more. Apart from monkeys nothing will stop you from enjoying the view and on a cold winter day luckily we got the sun and it was seriously mesmerizing and warming. We would love to visit again. ❤️
