Bhagsunag Waterfall & Temple
About
Bhagsunag Waterfall reveals the raw, water-carved beauty of the lower mountains. Tucked along a rocky mountain trail connecting Bhagsu and Dharamkot, this powerful 20-meter freshwater cascade tumbles down a sheer cliff into a rocky pool below. At the base of the trail sits the ancient Bhagsunag Temple, a sacred Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva and the local snake deity, Bhagsu Nag. The site is a beautiful blend of natural beauty and religious pilgrimage, where tourists and holy men gather to bathe in the temple's sacred, spring-fed stone pools.
