The meadows stretch out far and wide and all around the meadows are the many towering snow peaks. Situated at an elevation of 3048m, Dayara Bugyal is second to none in natural beauty. On the onset of winters they transform into ideal ski slopes over an area of about 28 sq km.

Where there is the mention of a temple, a very interesting Hindu mythological tale won't be behind. There is a trident, or a 'Trishul', 6 meters tall, 90 cm is diameter, made from a combination of iron and copper, is said to have been thrown by the female deity Durga, also known as Shakti, to kill demons. The myth dictates that you can try to move the trident with all your body weight, and it will be in vain. Try to then push it with a finger, and it will move. We can't tell you if that stands true or not, but if not for this, then for the magnificence of the temple, and the sheer number of devotees and to unravel the myth behind this whole story, is exactly why you should visit the Shakti Temple.
