Mukteshawar, a less frequented tourist place in Uttaranchal

Tucked away in one of the corners of the Kumaon Himalayas, Mukteshwar has derived its name from a myth that claims that Lord Shiva delivered a demon or granted him ‘mukti’ here by killing him.
The Shiva Temple here, therefore, is one of the biggest tourist attractions.
There is nothing here for those looking for a busy holiday with lots of sightseeing packed in.
Admiring the beauty of nature is best pastime here, besides the delicious food.
Mukteshwar is, therefore, one of the unusual holiday destinations in Uttarakhand.
