How To Reach Pohlani Devi Temple
Highest Peak and Spiritual Shrine: The Pohlani Devi Temple is a small, revered shrine located on the majestic Dainkund Peak, which is the highest point in Dalhousie at an altitude of approximately 2,755 meters (9,000+ feet) above sea level. The temple is dedicated to Mata Pohlani (or Pholani Devi), a local deity believed to protect the region. The temple itself is very simple, notably containing only a sacred trident (Trishul) instead of a traditional idol. The peak is famously known as the 'Singing Hill' because of the unique, melodious whistling sound the wind makes as it passes through the dense cover of deodar, pine, and oak trees that line the slopes. The site is reached by a scenic 4-5 KM trek from Lakkarmandi, making the journey an adventure itself. The breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view from the top, encompassing the Pir Panjal range and the three major rivers (Ravi, Beas, and Chenab), justifies the effort of the climb. It is a dual destination, combining high-altitude trekking with a significant spiritual experience, providing both physical challenge and peaceful solace for the visitor.
