点评:At above 11000 feet, this is easily the highest point in Narkanda.
Much has been written on various forums about how risky & hair-raising the uphill drive is but, frankly, I did not find it risky at all! Of course, we had an experienced driver and the car is in top condition so pay no heed to the warnings that you need to hire a local car from the market to make the climb. BTW, if you still want to hire a local cabbie, you can hire one from where the climb starts and not necessarily from the market which will obviously cost more!
Enjoy the steep curves and the narrow roads - relax, it is safe as long as you have an experienced driver and a suitable vehicle - sedans would be optimal.
View from the top is excellent but first, about the Hatu Mata temple. When we went, renovation work was in full swing which made moving around a little inconvenient. You need to remove your shoes - there doesn't seem to be a dedicated spot for keeping them but I guess anywhere would be safe.
Walk up the concrete steps to reach the glass-walled temple for darshan. There would be a priest who accepts donations in a box and gives prasad & applies tilak on your forehead. You will get a clear view of the deity located in the innermost sanctum of the temple.
All around Mata are wood carvings of various deities & figures - Kalimata, Krishna-Radha, Hanumanji..... Unfortunately, photography inside the temple is prohibited but you can photograph from outside, through the glass walls.
The surroundings are serene and majestic, especially when the mountain range is visible. We were not so lucky thanks to a cloud cover but were told that Kinnaur Kailash is clearly visible from there and that the view of the sunset is to die for!
According to myth, this is where Draupadi fell on the Pandavas swargarohan journey.
A potpourri of history, religion, nature - this is not something you would want to miss!

各种论坛上都有很多文章讨论上坡驾驶有多危险和惊险,但坦率地说,我一点也不觉得危险!当然,我们有一位经验丰富的司机,车况也很好,所以不必理会那些警告,比如你需要从市场上租一辆当地的车才能爬上去。顺便说一句,如果你仍然想雇一名当地的出租车司机,你可以在爬坡开始的地方雇一个,而不一定非要从市场上雇,这显然会花费更多!
享受陡峭的弯道和狭窄的道路 - 放松,只要你有一位经验丰富的司机和一辆合适的车辆,这里就很安全 - 轿车是最佳选择。
从山顶看风景很棒,但首先要说的是哈图玛塔神庙。我们去的时候,整修工作正在如火如荼地进行,这让走动有点不方便。你需要脱掉你的鞋子 - 似乎没有专门的地方放鞋,但我想任何地方都安全。
沿着水泥台阶走上玻璃墙寺庙,朝拜。那里会有一位牧师接受盒子里的捐赠,并给你送上 prasad 并在你的额头上涂上 tilak。你可以清楚地看到位于寺庙最里面的神像。
Mata 周围都是各种神灵和人物的木雕 - Kalimata、Krishna-Radha、Hanumanji......不幸的是,寺庙内禁止拍照,但你可以透过玻璃墙从外面拍照。
周围环境宁静而雄伟,尤其是当山脉清晰可见时。由于云层覆盖,我们的运气不佳,但有人告诉我们,从那里可以清楚地看到 Kinnaur Kailash,日落的景色令人陶醉!
根据神话,这里是 Draupadi 在 Pandava 的 swargarohan 之旅中坠落的地方。
历史、宗教、自然的混合体 - 这是你不想错过的!
