Garjiya Devi Temple
Garjiya Devi Temple is a famous Hindu pilgrimage site that is dedicated to Goddess Parvati.
This temple is located on the outskirts of Corbett National Park in Garjiya village near Ramnagar. This must visit temple is built on a rock in the middle of Kosi River and it is simply a worth visiting attraction. In order to get to the top of the temple, one has to climb a steep staircase and once there you can notice a 4.5 feet high idol of Girija Devi.
You can also see the idols of Devi Saraswati, Lord Ganesha and Batuk Bhairava. Besides thousands of visitors that visit the temple through the year, an annual fair held on Kartik Poornima attracts natives and inhabitants from nearby villages. The view of the surrounding jungle that the temple offers is eerie yet serene.
