The famous Jakhu Temple is perched on top of Jakhu Hill, the highest peak of Shimla. It is believed that Lord Hanuman rested here when he was searching for the ‘sanjeevani booti’ to save Laxman’s life. A trek to the holy place will take you through the lush deodar forests. You’ll also encounter many monkeys along the way. On reaching the top, you’ll be rewarded with sublime views of the surrounding snow-capped mountains and valleys. The Jakhu hilltop is only 2.5 km away from the ridge, making it one of the easiest treks in the state.
