Kankasundari Temple

Kankasundari Temple is a revered Hindu temple atop a hill in Kalikot District, dedicated to the goddess Kankasundari, a local manifestation of the divine feminine. The temple commands panoramic views over the Karnali River valley and surrounding mountains and is an important pilgrimage site for the people of the remote Karnali highlands.The approach to the temple through the Kalikot hills offers glimpses of traditional western Nepal village life in one of the country's least-visited districts, making it a genuinely off-the-beaten-path spiritual and trekking destination.
