Suraj Kund Kumbhalgarh

I went here for hiking and i really liked the place. The experience was truly unique. I would recommend going here at least once.

Here are some tips for you.
1. Consider visiting here in winter because summer season will make it really difficult to walk.
2. It takes around 2 hours to reach the temple from the starting point so it is 4 hour walk so plan accordingly.(3 hours if you are pro)
3. Bring some cold water bottle and drinks with you.

Happy Traveling!!

We went to Suruj Kund from Jungle Camp Resort, as by track its 4 kms from here and by road 15kms. Must say amidst rocks this place has Shivalik Aesthetics, cold, raw, jungle and baba's.
The Sadhus and locals here seem to enjoy around a fire. They offer you tea as prasadam, which comes our from kettle kept warm on ashes ( reminds of Turkish coffee), they make sure which you sit and drink.
The babaji even offered our troop of 50 people KHEER , which tasted like nectar.
You need to wash and keep the bowl back.
Now even, here there are proper toilets .
You can even take holy dips, watch tiny fishes and soak in the pure oxygen.
Now opposite to Kund , 1500 meter away is Hinglaj Mata Ji's temple and this small track will churn all your aderanline juices more than 4 km track from Resort ( started trekking from village Ganvar) to Suraj Kund.
We came back to Suraj Kund from Mata ji and from there beneath the temple there is an uphill track and a downhill and then walking parallel to the stream with an anicut in between you reach the road after 3-4 kms. Here is the Majhera village and official parking for tourist where we were put in jeeps to get back to resort.

So talking about distance, from Kelwara Suraj kund is approximately 15 to 20 kms .
Tracking can be started from either TWO points - either Ganvar village or near Majhera Village, but I will definitely recommend start from Ganvar.
We did with an organizing group, but If you are a regular trekker you can do on own as there are clear marks all the way.
Any local will help you more clearly before you begin it.

Its good long track and almost took morning 7 to 1:30 to get back to resort for amateur as us.
Not to be missed.

Awesome, Lovely, beautiful, natural, unexplored and non-commercialised temple and jungle safari.
Its a 6 km long trekking.
Journey to Suraj Kund is calm, serene and joyous. Its easy to medium level trekking.

Good place for trackers. Good season to visit after monsoon or winter. Must carry water bottles without fail. Gentle gesture by temple maharaj. Very refreshing on reaching over there.

Absolutely breathtaking natural place to visit in mansoon seasons it's a Devine and peace Full place for Nature lovers

Amazing like a jungle safari 🥳

Must visit...looks like heaven.. Highly recommend visit on monsoon when all lakes ponds were filled with water🧢

The vehicles are allowed upto a certain mark. After that the trek will start. First very uneven pathway which will take you into the jungle. And then walk across the jungle. Please carry water bottles and good trekking shoes. Once you reach the place it's serene with a sanity. Suggested time in the morning since the trek is for 5 kms one side.
