The primary activity is the trek to #Tungnath , the highest Shiva Temple (3600 meters). You can hike further up to Chandrashila Top (4000 meters). This post was written by @aloketweet who went with me.
Apart from the sheer adventure of circumambulating a steep waterfall, the Anusuya Devi and Atrimuni Trek had many other unexpected delights, like a rock inscription from 6th century AD.
The primary draw here are the views rather than the archaeological remains. Now we were at the top of the 3000-metre hill and getting 360-degree views of the higher peks. Also, Kartikeya templates are rare in the north.
