Atop
the
Shankaracharya
Hill
of
Srinagar,
this
temple
is
the
path
to
the
most
majestic
view
of
the
whole
of
Srinagar.
It's
a
Shiv
temple.
Most
Kasmiris
believed
that
Adi
Shankaracharya
visited
this
place
and
hence
the
name.
The
taxis
and
cars
are
parked
at
the
footsteps
of
the
temple
from
where
you
have
to
climb
230+
steps
to
reach
the
temple.
The
climb
is
not
tiring
or
difficult,
in
fact,
for
most
people,
including
elderly
members.
Though
the
number
of
steps
seems
huge,
with
just
a
couple
of
resting
minutes,
you
would
be
able
to
reach
the
temple
within
10
to
12
minutes
(even
if
you
are
not
a
regular
at
exercise
or
walks)
There
is
no
entry
fee.
The
view
from
above
is
magnificent
with
Dal
Lake
on
one
side
and
the
rest
of
Sringara
city
adorned
with
its
beautiful
green
and
red
rooftop
houses.
Since
this
is
a
military
area,
there
is
frisking
and
hence
advisable
to
carry
safe
things
in
your
bag.
There
are
paid
washrooms
around.
There
is
a
drinking
water
tap
available
on
the
top
near
the
temple
Do
not
get
bogged
down
by
the
number
of
steps
and
miss
this
awesome
attraction
