Chauli ki Jali
About
Chauli ki Jali — 'the lattice of Chauli' — is a dramatic rock formation at the edge of the Mukteshwar ridge with sheer vertical cliffs and natural holes through which the sky is visible. Local legend says that women who pass through one of the holes will conceive. The Indian Mountaineering Foundation uses the cliffs for rock climbing and rappelling training; visitors can watch or participate.
