Perched at an altitude of 1870 meters, sits as
though frozen in time, the Hindu pilgrimage of
Jageshwar. Legend has it that Lord Shiva would
come down from his abode and meditate here,
submerged and undisturbed within the confines of
the thick Deodar forest.
2
Jageshwar consists of a cluster of 124
exquisitely put together stone carved temples
dating from between the 9th and the 13th Century.
The entire countryside around the area is dotted
with caves, each one with its own story. The most
famous amongst these is the Airavat Cave and the
Pataal Bhuvaneshwar caves, in case you are
feeling adventurous.
3
Just at the entrance of the sleepy town of
Jageshwar, jutting out inconspicuously from a
hilltop is the enchanting little lodge of Van
Serai. The mystical and tranquil setting of
Jageshwar makes it an ideal holiday destination
to explore, meditate and rejuvenate the body and
mind.
4
The architectural inspiration of Van Serai comes
from the traditional Kumauni style of
construction. Each room and common areas are
designed and constructed with local material and
keeping in tune with the local architectural feel.

Meals are served in the beautiful dining room
encased with glass on one side through which you
can get an unparallel view of the forest.
