citypithoragarh Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Kapileshwar Mahadev Temple is located approximately 3 kilometers from Pithoragarh. A one-hour climb takes you to the spot where the temple lies within the Kapileshwar Mahadev Cave. At the base of the cave, which is more than 25 feet deep, you can witness the natural rock formation resembling Lord Shiva, worshiped as Kapileshwar Mahadev. Being inside the ancient cave is an experience that excites you.
From the temple, you can enjoy picturesque views of the Saur Valley and the snow-capped Himalayas. As one ascends the mountain, the scenery becomes more magnificent. From this height, one can also see the temple flag. Passing through narrow passages to enter and exit the deep cave is an exhilarating experience.
