Unique confluence of faith

According to tradition, Gopeshwar, the symbol of Lord Shiva, is brought here in winter. Devotees reach Pitrudhar via Panar and Lute Bugyal. While they worship their ancestors, a huge fair is organized here on Shravan Purnima and devotees complete their journey by taking bath in Surya Kund, Chandra Kund, Tara Kund and Mana Kund. Whereas Rudranath’s track is not easy. It can be reached through three main routes – Helang, Sagar village and Mandal village. Dense forests, open forests and high mountains make this track memorable. Whereas this track lasts for 4 to 5 days.
