Tadkeshwar is a perfect
weekend destination. To get there, you can take the Mussoorie Express from
Delhi to Kotdwar and then hire a taxi or a shared jeep. A more interesting way
to get there is by trekking from Lansdowne (about 40 km from Kotdwar), enjoying
the white daisies blooming on the hillsides and drinking cups of sweet tea at
the tiny hamlets on the way, chatting about the place and the weather with
friendly locals. By road, Tadkeshwar is 36 km from Lansdowne hut if you have
the temperament to walk, an interesting trek on a shorter route of
approximately 15 km takes you to the old temple which is at 6,000 feet. On the road you find a few shops selling biscuits and chips. From
there a gentle walk of 100 metres takes you to the temple complex, which is
marked off by bells strung on ropes. Set in a verdant bowl in the middle of a
lush green deodar forest, the temple has a compelling serenity. A small dharamshala
right next to the temple can accommodate tourists keen on doing a night
stay.
The main deity of Tadkeshwar
is Lord Shiva and the temple accepts bell offerings for wishes that come true.
Though its mythological draw is that Goddess Parvati is said to have prayed
here and it is believed to be one of the ancient holy sites or siddhapitas, in
terms of scenic beauty and silence Tadkeshwar can offer a lot to the atheist as
well.
