Major Tourist Attraction in Janjehli :

Shikari Mata Temple 

A jeepable forest road connects Shikari Devi temple with Janjehli, which is located about 18 kilometers away. It is located at 3359 meters above sea level. Amazingly dense trees line the route to Shikari Peak. It is also known as the Crown of Mandi since it is the
highest peak in the Mandi District. Nature lovers appreciate this location because of the vast green fields, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and expansive views of snow-capped mountains. Winters in the area bring a lot of snow. Karsog, located just 21 kilometers from Shikari Devi, is where the location may be reached. Shikari Devi, the huntswoman goddess, has a temple on the Shikari peak that is said to have been built (Sathapit) by the Pandavas. The sage Markanday is supposed to have spent a number of years meditating here. Although the temple has no roof, it has been seen that throughout the winter, when the area around the temple is completely covered up to several feet by snow, there is never any snow to be found on the temple grounds. Visitors can trek from Shikari by various trek routes to Chindi, Karsog, and Janjehli. Adventurers can traverse the large spread meadows on this hilltop route with magnificent scenic beauty and perfect peacefulness for a daylong journey of 16 km to Kamrunag.

Magru Mahadev Temple 

This temple design is a fusion of pagoda and mandap styles. The sanctum sanctorum is oblong in shape rather than a precise square. Sanctum walls are built using Kath-Kuni masonry. This area rises in a pagoda with three levels. The sanctum is surrounded by two circumambulatory walkways of varying widths. Both the mandap and the circumambulatory walkways are covered by the gabled roof part. Over four layers of wooden boards, the conical top roof of the pagoda is covered with plain galvanized iron sheets. Over three layers of planks, the center tier is covered with slates. Over two levels of wooden planks, the lowest roof, which creates a gable end in front is covered with slates. The intricate and elegantly stylized woodcarving in the mandap of this temple is its most fascinating feature. Every square inch of the mandap exposed wooden portion is
intricately and lavishly carved, and every zoomorphic or anthropomorphic figure is alive with movement rather than being static or frozen. Even the serpents appear to be moving quickly peristaltically due to their zigzag structure. The horses and elephants are
also exuberant. Numerous scenes and ideas from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Indian Epics have been expertly carved by the woodcarver. It’s very interesting how the war themes are handled. It is intriguing and powerful. Very cleverly, a dome-shaped roof
has been created above the mandap. It has dancing human figures that are very intricately carved.

Tungasi Dhar 

A group of hills called Tungasi Dhar is close to Janjelhi Valley. Approximately one-mile long track From Delhi to Tungasi Top, it takes 3 hours. On top of DPF Tungasi, there is a stunning temple dedicated to Dev Tungasi. A DPF location, the hills are gorgeously covered in dense Devdar forest. Here, the well-known God Tungasi Rishi is highly revered. Old stone foundations and
boundary walls at the Tungasi temple at Tungasi Dhar indicate that the area was once occupied by local kings or rulers or by soldiers. A high-top section of a hill selected for residential use by elderly people and surrounded by a wide wall of stones is referred to as Tungasi Top or Tungasi Gadh. Although there is off-road access only, this location is a good picnic area. Untouched by outsiders, the location offers stunning Ever Green Views in all directions. There is a dangerous area in one of the directions leading to Janjelhi, so exercise caution when taking photographs there. The peace of mind that comes from sitting in a
spot like this and admiring the entire valley from the stone summit is amazing!

Bulah

The scenic area of Bhulah is located 6 km from Janjehli and, once experienced, is impossible to forget. There is a metaled road that leads to Bhulah. There are buses that go there. Bhulah could be referred to as the first camping location for hikers, tourists, and pilgrims. The ascent to the summit of; Shikari Mountain; then starts. Deodar trees encircle the area on all sides, giving it a striking appearance. Bhular is extremely similar to Khaziar, popularly known as the little Switzerland of Himachal Pradesh, which is located in the Chamba districts.

Buddha Kedar

It is possible to get here on foot. From Janjehli itself, you travel along this path. The entire route involves ascending severe heights. The Gujjars who live in this region travel this path every day to deliver milk, khoya, and ghee to Janjehli and bring back the items they need for their daily requirements using the money they earn from their supplies. During the winter, these Gujjars leave their chilly location and relocate to the plains with their livestock. They reappear and resume their summertime pastimes in their hearths. According to a legend, Nandi Bail (the legendary ox) leaped down the large boulder in Buddha Kedar to escape Bhima and proceeded directly to the Pashupatinath Temple. There is a sizable hole in the rock where people still enter to offer prayers nowadays. The local little spring is revered greatly, and bathing in it is considered extremely sacred.
