मुनस्यारी को जानने के लिए इसके नाम का अर्थ जान लेना ही काफी है। मुनस्यारी का मतलब है ‘बर्फ वाली जगह’। अपने नाम के ही अनुरूप मुनस्यारी को उसकी खूबसूरती और आबोहवा के कारण ‘सार संसार एक मुनस्यार’ की उपमा भी दी जाती है यानि सारे संसार की खूबसूरती एक तरफ और मुनस्यारी की खूबसूरती एक तरफ। एक प्रकृति प्रेमी की दृष्टि से मुनस्यारी पर उपरोक्त उपमा एकदम सटीक बैठती है क्योंकि मुनस्यारी का कुदरती नजारा आपको अपनी ओर आकर्षित ही नहीं करता बल्कि मानो चुंबक की तरह आपको अपनी तरफ खींचता है। मुनस्यारी उत्तराखंड के दूरस्थ जिले पिथौरागढ़ में दिल्ली से लगभग 620 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थित है। मुनस्यारी का सबसे बड़ा आकर्षण इसके ठीक सामने स्थित पंचाचूली पर्वत श्रृंखला है जो दरअसल पांच अलग-अलग हिमालयी चोटियां हैं। ये एक तरह से मुनस्यारी की जान हैं। अगर आप मुनस्यारी में हों और आपको अपने ठीक सामने नीले खुले आसमान मे...

A video never seen before of the mysterious Patal Bhuvaneshwar cave temple of Uttarakhand, as till now the photography or the videography was not allowed inside the cave. A video recorded for the first time. Patal Bhuvaneshwar is one of the most revered cave temples in India and perhaps the most mysterious as well. It is located near Gangolihat town in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand. This limestone cave is 160 metres long and 90 feet deep.

Oxygen inside is less, hence there is a chance of suffocation or breathlessness. Cave temple is said to have a deep association with Hindu mythology. Undoubtedly it has some very amazing stalactite and stalagmite figures carved o...
