a must visit place to see the valley especially during the evening to see the sunset and viewing Shimla .the view from the top is serene. also the temple is beautiful and shows the rich heritage of our country. the peace of mind a person gets just sitting there is amazing

Tara Devi temple is located in top of a hill near Shogi By-pass.. Sometimes Google map shows wrong directions to the temple so don't blindly follow maps..There is a sign board on Shimla highway which shows direction to Tara Devi temple, follow that route only..The last 2.5 Kms of road to Tara Devi Temple is very steep and has many hairpin bends..if you are not confident about driving and has a very old vehicle.. please please don't go from your vehicle because it's narrow and steep and could be fatal and the parking to the temple is ample but many times police controls the entry of vehicles to the temple in case the parking is full.. There are some shops where you can purchase Prasad and plastic toys for kids near parking..There are 2 temples on top , main temple is dedicated to Mata Tara Devi and another one is dedicated to Shiv Bhagwaan, Shiv temple is approx 100 mts. away from main temple in back side..both of the temple are made up of wood and stone in Kath Khuni Architecture.. the location of the temple is too high that you can see a view of Shimla City very clearly..The temple closes at 8:00 pm..There is a bhandara hall too where you can have bhandara on some special days . Try to avoid going here in rains because of steep road.. Overall great and peaceful experience and amidst serene environment..

It's a beautiful place, it is so beautiful and mesmerizing that I could not express in words what I have seen through my eyes there. One can spend their whole day there it is so peaceful. Temple is situated at 7200 ft. above the ground level. Must visit place if you go to Shimla.

I visited in Oct 2021, the  template has the backdrop of the Himalayas. There are forests on one side and road on another. During festivals like Dussehra and Navratri, a huge feast is arranged which is attended by a large number of devotees. It becomes very difficult to visit the temple during snowfall and rainy season because it's at highest peak and road is narrow. It's 12 kms from old Shimla bus stand and buses are available, ticket fare is ₹30.

Very nice place and its totally calm no rush..fully peaceful.....Awesome view all around....parking space available free of cost...just need to drive carefully as single road and very dangerous. Recommend with family.....Even kids can enjoy there

Amazing weather and location, mostly in the time on sunset, it was just AMAZING!!! Nice Experience. #love #sunsent #temple

Best divine temple near Shogi. The road is very narrow and steep so driving is tough drivers must be skilled enough to attempt. When you reach the temple it is on top of the hill with 360 degree view. Very beautiful you can see Shimla city and all the top mountains. Sky is so clear and cool breeze blows. There are few shops with good warm clothes and essentials. Food and snacks are avaliable in shops. The.temple is very clean and beautiful.

Very cool calm worship place at Hill top with beautiful views and calm environment. A Shiva temple, 1.5 km within the forest too was close by and worth seeing.

A beautiful temple. It's close to Shimla roughly around 15 Kms from Shimla city centre. It is located on a hill top. The road to the temple is quite curvy and steep and would require a skilled driver . Once on top, the view is beautiful. The temple is beautiful. A new temple structure is being built presently . If you visit the temple on Sunday, Tuesday or Government holidays, there is a bhandara ( free food) . We were lucky to have this bhandara and the food was simple but delicious. They served rice along with 5 dishes! One should definitely visit this temple of Goddess Tara Devi. Mobile signal is avble and you can get 4G connectvity even at the hill top. Ample parking space is avble. You can hire a cab or take a government bus to reach here. A word of caution - Beware of monkeys. There are quite a few .Do not carry any food in hand.

Very beautiful temple of goddess Tara Mata located (appx. 2550 mts.) on the top of Shoghi. Amazing wooden art work done in the temple.

Beautiful temple situated in one if the hills in Shimla. The drive to the temple is worth experiencing.Temple is neat, clean and well maintained. You will feel the sukoon here. Also one can enjoy the view of the city.

This should be in your itinerary of you are visiting Shimla or nearby. The temple is so beautiful, I couldn't get my eyes off it. It was at such a height and views were amazing. Though it was cloudy when I visited, but if you are lucky, you'll experience mesmerizing views.

Its a nice old temple in Shimla. No wait time. Not muchof a crowd. We went by a taxi. It was a nice travel. Silent quaint temple. Tara Devi temple is one of the most visited religious places in Shimla. Opens 6.30 am till 7 pm It is installed at a height of 7200 feet above sea level and situated around 11 km away from Shimla city. There is a Shiv temple Shiv Bavdi nearby. According to a story which traces back to 250 years, the king Bhupendra Sen built the temple and after he had a vision in which Goddess Tara Devi asked him to install a template there so that people could get her blessings. He also installed a wooden statue of Goddess there.

A must visit if you are in shimla no matter how far you are from the temple just go there once and you will never regret, if you are looking for some amazing pictures this is the go to place if you are a religious person its a must visit and if you want to feel the beauty of the nature and want to have a scenic view this is the go to place, there is no entry fee but make sure to maintain dignity and not to make the place dirty, avoid taking leather wallets and belts inside the temple, the best way to reach the temple is vie your personal car but if you want to take the bus there is a bus which go from old bus stand to Tara Devi temple from 1pm and the last bus which comes back from the temple is at 4pm there is no bus stand up there so keep the timings in mind, the place has really soothing ambience and in our case it was directly visible from our hotel room, hence must visit Jai tara devi ma.

Beautiful and very spiritual temple. Built on the top of tata parvat. 250 years old and situated at 1851 meter high from the sea level. Car parking is available. It is around 11 km from Shimla. The view from the top is awesome and mesmerizing. Bus services are available. You can Also go by your own vehicle but try it if you have full confidence in your driving. Most adventurous driving track.

The courage of our security forces is unwavering. Stationed in the toughest terrains, away from their loved ones, their sacrifice and dedication keep us safe and secure. India will always be grateful to these heroes who are the perfect embodiment of bravery and resilience.

It is one of the famous holy place built on the top of the hill, amazing weather all the time, height is 7200 feet above sea level.

One of the best temple I seen ever it is on the top of the hill the view is so beautiful around that love this place❤️

A must go site and divine place if you have time while coming back from Shimla...Just 12 km from Shimla the way goes 7 km steep up to this temple...But, once you reach up, the view of Shimla is just amazing...The temple is very beautiful...A big parking space is available near the temple entrance...But driving up is a critical task so I would suggest to only go if you are good at driving...

This place is so magnificent and devine, you will love the vibes here. Its one of the best destinations in Himachal Pradesh

Tara Devi temple was built by Sen dynasty kings sometime around 1766 A.D. The fort of Giri Sen is still there in Junga. Tara Goddess in Hinduism and Buddhism is second of the Ten Great Wisdoms called ‘Mahavidyas’ and is known to be a source of all energies. The word ‘Tara’ is derived from Sanskrit root ‘tr’, which means to cross. The word ‘tara’ also means star in many Indian languages.

A steep drive but worth it. Beautiful views in winters.

A must visit place for peace lovers. Valley view is awesome. You can reach there by your private vehicle or by cab. Public bus service is also available from shoghi bus stand. In stairs of temple be aware of monkey. Better have a stick with you.

Beautiful place to visit....

Very neat n clean, good views,

At an altitude of 7200 Ft from Sea level near beautiful Shimla Hills is this Divine Temple. This is accessible by any Vehicle and no hike is required for this. The place is serene and provides calm and quite space for visitors. An Outing with family at such place will provide a good bonding experience. There are in total 3 Temples situated at different locations. First is Tara Devi Temple itself, Second is Mata Dhudhadhari Temple and Third is situated 1 km away Shiv Temple. The path to Shiv temple is amidst small forest of Rhododendron and Nut trees. Few People visit Shiv Temple and I encourage everyone to visit all three temples when At Tara Devi, Shogi Bypass.

The temple is constructed beautifully. The view from this place is mesmerizing. A place one should definitely consider visiting.

It was serene and sound. You feel a calm in yourself, a must have experience. But I would suggest you take a cab or go by foot as the roads are rather steep and may not be idle for some people.

This is very divine place, everyone who believe in Mata Rani must go at this place and get blessed with blessings of mata rani. 🚩🚩Jai mata di🚩🚩 🙏🙏🚩🚩🚩 har har Mahadev 🚩🚩🚩🙏🙏 This place has very steep hill road so the peoples who are good drivers or have hired drivers, they can go at this place.

Very beautiful temple at the top of a hill where you can view entire Shimla and the views are really picturesque....the road to temple is steep but pretty smooth...parking space is limited but sufficient....overall a must visit in Shimla

Jai Mata Tara Devi Ji :) Temple is located beautifully at a height of about 7200 feet. Temple is built in Pahari architecture and it has a great surrounding view.

It's situated at top of the hill, When the cool breeze touches your face at the temple, you will love it, you will get relaxed in the calm environment of temple, If you start early then there would less traffic on the way, Although the turns are steep and very curvy but if you have driven on hilly roads it would not be difficult for you, there is ample space for parking on the top, This place is a must visit if you're planning a trip to Shimla

A must visit place to see the valley especially during the mild sunlight and viewing Shimla from a bit high altitude. If we talk about temple infrastructure. It is just mind blowing: ruch heritage of our country, peaceful cite and clean fresh air.

Breathtaking place. A place where you can spend several peaceful hours with family, friends, or even alone. One point to be noted: Beware of monkeys. Keep distance and don't try to feed them.

A beautiful temple will a lot of beautiful wood work. The temple has a sense of calm to the place . It is located at a great height and that’s why the view from top is breath taking.

Tara Devi one must visit this temple of Shimla, a glimpse of the temple gives a feeling of vibrancy. Beautiful architecture and you get 360 views. Don't forget to go to the back side of the temple and the most amazing part of the temple is a Shiva temple in the jungle which is a 10 minute walk. You will definitely get peace of mind. Here are some beautiful pictures.

As you enter the premises, a sort of calmness prevails and one gets soaked in the bhakti of Ma Tara Devi temple in Himachal Pradesh India. Along with HER deity there are other deities of Ma Saraswati and Ma Kali. The entire view from the main balcony is mesmerizing and fills one's heart with joy and happiness. After taking blessings from Ma one can have a Bhandara on Sunday and Tuesday. A place worth visiting.

Its a very religious place. I was new to driving those days but managed to drive through some of the steep slopes to the temple way. We reached there safely with the blessings of Mata Rani. From the top the view is awesome and scenic. Very peaceful and beautiful Temple. It has ample space of parking. This place has a beautiful and magnificent treks to walk. In my opinion one should not miss the adventure and beauty while visiting this place in rainy season.

One of the most beautiful temples which I've visited in Shimla. So peaceful and serene. You get 360 degree views of Shimla from the temple. The goddess is so divine and definitely you'll get positive vibes when you visit this temple. Very blessed to have visited this temple and get blessings from the goddess.

This is a very beautiful place to visit. You get a very awesome scene after reaching on the top. You can visit by bus or car but i will recommend going through the trail. You can go through a trek for an hour and enjoy your trip. I assure you will love it.

Heartwarming temple with a glorious aura and a magnificent view of Shimla town. Bhandara is served every Sunday and second Saturday. 😊

First let me tell you something about Tara Devi Temple (Mandir). So, king Bhupendra Sen built the temple and after he had a vision in which Goddess Tara Devi asked him to install a template there so that people could get her blessings. A newly built wood and stone temple with slate roofing in traditional hill architecture style sits atop the ridge at the east edge of Tara Devi hill.Tara is a female deity in both Hinduism and Buddhism who personifies compassion and offers salvation from the suffering of rebirth and death. She is thought to have been born of empathy for the suffering world and is regularly invoked for protection, guidance, and deliverance from difficult situations. Outing with family at such a place will provide you peace. Beautiful place with amazing views and surroundings.

Despite the high number of visitors the temple has a peaceful and a divine vibe. An added bonus is the bird's eye view of the hills from the temple. Afternoons are a bit crowded with people lining up for Bhandara but overall the place is well maintained.
