gets its name from a 350-year-old temple of Shiva, known as Mukteshwar dham, situated atop the highest point in the town, on the veterinary institute’s campus. Close to it lie the overhanging cliffs, locally known as Chauli-ki-Jali, used for rock climbing and rappelling, with an excellent view of the valleys below. The sunrise point is at the government-run PWD guest house.
Mukteshwar also has a lot of restaurants and cafes, local handicraft shops (Kilmora) as well as a doll museum.

Walking trails in and around Parvada

We are blessed with the reserve forests just minutes opposite our estate and the valley below our estate leads to a gurgling stream. This stream converts to a gushing river during the monsoons. Within the valley we have 4 trekking routes and in the hills several routes, easy to medium to difficult.
