It borders Tibet to the north; the Province No. 7 of Nepal to the east; and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south and Himachal Pradesh to the west and north-west as well as Haryana on its south-western corner. The state is divided into two divisions, Garhwal and Kumaon, with a total of 13 districts. The interim capital of Uttarakhand is Dehradun, the largest city of the state, which is a railhead. The High Court of the state is located in Nainital.

After the mesmerizing sunrise and temple visit we have breakfast on our way down from the temple with a brief story telling and description about the temple and goddess Parvati whom this temple is dedicated to. After breakfast we head towards a special spot on the southern part of temple premises which gives us a clear view of river Ganga spreading its arms in the gangetic plains.
