Kalpeshwar is a beautiful location in the lovely Urgam valley where the nature is ablaze with the magnificent colours of lovely apple orchards and picturesque sceneries. This remote locale at a height of 2134 meters boast of a celebrated myth that has a close link with the mighty Pandavas. In Kalpeswar one can feel the aura of a legendary site since this place is a preferred location of meditating ascetics. They might be following the footsteps of the great sages Arghya and durvasa who had chosen Kalpeswar as their favourite place of meditation.

Deeply rooted mythical beliefs are the most exhilarating attractions in this tiny hamlet in the inner Himalayas. One among the Panchakedars of Shaivite traditions, Kalpeswar presents the unparalleled beauty of a typical Himalayan landscape. Besides the imposing snowy peaks this place is bestowed with a lively valley where the gushing streams, deep woods, placid lakes make the ambience extremely beautiful. Tourists would be amazed to accept the warmth and hospitality of the innocent hilly people.

Trekking in this rocky terrain is a favorite where the trekkers are provided with the some of the hardest trekking routes. Trekking through this enchanting countryside is a remarkable experience since it unwraps the wild beauty of the Himalayas in its entirety. Trekking through the meandering routes unfurls the glossy nature and the trekkers would feel the fresh aroma of all around greenery. The trekkers are in the midst of forest areas of rich flora and fauna, which has its own peculiar characteristics.

Visiting Kalpeswar would be a matchless experience since it coalesces pilgrimage with expedition. While the tricky routes and the arresting sceneries commands the attention of a casual trekker, the divinity and holiness of the place fills the minds of the devotees.
