Shankaracharya Hill - Where Divinity Meets the Himalayas

#hellohalloween #naturalwonders #familytravel Perched atop Shankaracharya Hill at about 1,000 ft above Srinagar, this ancient Shiva temple offers a truly breathtaking 360° panorama—from Dal Lake and the Jhelum River to the snowy mountains and the entire city below . The ascent involves climbing around 243 steep steps, so be prepared for a brisk little workout . The temple generally closes around 8 PM, but note that vehicle access to the parking area is restricted after 5 PM, so planning your visit earlier in the day is wise . A short hike with a divine payoff—this spot is a must-visit for nature lovers, shutterbugs, and spiritual seekers alike
