On Jorasi-Chaukhutia road, Lakhanpur temple is located just 25kms from Dwarahat. The temple was built by the Kings of the Katyuri dynasty. A small fair is organized every year between October and November at this place.
Lakhanpur Temple is a famous Hindu temple built in 800 to 1100 AD by the Katyuri Kings during their reign.
Taurasi is a region in the mountain ranges located in the middle of the Sult and Dwarahat of Almora district in Uttarakhand. It is situated in between the Ramganga and Vinod rivers, 6500 feet above sea level.
The Kings Fort of Lakhanpur was destroyed, and the structures have been almost buried because of Road construction. There were many forts in the region, all of which are dilapidated, resulting from no maintenance for years.
The Fair held by the temple goes for three days, and people from around the region visit Lakhanpur temple dwarahat to enjoy it with friends and family.
The temple is worshiped and considered very sacred by the locals. The tourists who visit Chaukhutia also visit the temple of Lakhanpur for sure.
The temple is open for tourists all year round. There is no need to visit during a particular period. However, the time between October and May is the best to enjoy here at Lakhanpur temple Uttarakhand and the surrounding places.
During winters, snowfall brings the temperature of the region down. Nevertheless, the view is fantastic, and one can enjoy the snowfall and the scenic views.
Recently in Chaukhutia, a five-mouthed cave was founded by the villagers and locals.
The cave has five openings for entry and exit. According to the architectural department, it is good news for tourists and the tourism department. It will help it to grow more, creating more opportunities.
