Jakhu Temple: What to Expect
Jakhu Temple sits at 2,455 metres above sea level and is accessible by a 2.5 km trek from Shimla’s Cart Road, or by the Jakhu ropeway (Rs 250 return). The temple is home to a 108-foot Hanuman statue visible from across Shimla. Morning visits (7 AM to 9 AM) are best — fewer tourists, best light, and the clearest mountain views. The temple is open from 7 AM to 12 PM and 3 PM to 8 PM daily.
How to Plan Your Trip
Most guests staying at Kufri Heritage Resort combine a Jakhu Temple visit with a half-day in Shimla (Mall Road, The Ridge, Christ Church) and return to Kufri for lunch and an afternoon at Kufri Zoo or Fun World. This makes for a full and well-paced day without rushing. The resort can arrange a cab to Shimla for Rs 400 to Rs 600 return.
