★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very beautiful temple. A must visit if you're in Dehradun.
It was very crowded when I visited so try to visit on weekdays if its possible for you.
There are many small temples so it takes around 1 hour for complete tour.
Also enjoy langar food if available.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very divine and beautiful temple. There are few stories behind this temple. It's the birthplace of Ashwatthama. The caves are natural and beautiful. It's shows the real beauty of nature. Water drops from the ceiling of the cave trickle down over the shivling in a continuous downpour, making for an interesting spectacle.
Very peaceful place to spend some good time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the most beautiful temples I've ever seen. The temple is home to a vast number of deities. This location has a large campus area with various small locations for different deities to worship. A small river runs through the temple, into which you can step and walk through the rocks. One of the reasons for this name is that water is constantly dripping through the ceiling of the main Shiv Temple.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best temples I have seen till date. There are many deities in the temple. This place has a very large campus area, with different small locations for different deity to worship. There is a small river flowing through the temple in which you can step in and walk through the rocks (this is not recommendes, if you are sure that you walk without your shoes over the rocks, then only, you should give it a try). One reason for this name is that there is always water dripping through the ceiling inside the main Shiv Temple.
