In the remote Himalayan region of Lahaul-Spiti, there’s this beautiful ancient Trilokinath Temple, which dates back to the 8th century. Triloknath Temple is located in the Udaipur subdivision of Lahaul and Spiti district, Himachal Pradesh. It is approximately 45 km from Keylong, the district headquarters, and around 146 km from Manali. Historically, the temple was known as Tunda Vihar. This unique temple is important to locals as it’s famous among both Hindus and Buddhists. Hindus worship the deity as Lord Shiva, while Buddhists revere it as Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion.
This temple dates back to the 10th century, as confirmed by a stone inscription discovered within the temple complex in 2002. The inscription states that Dvanjra Rana, believed to be an ancestor of the present Rana Thakur rulers of Triloknath village, built the temple. If you’re planning to explore this beautiful Spiti Valley Packages including this temple are the best options for you.
Trilokinath Temple is open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. There is no entry fee for visitors, though small voluntary donations for temple maintenance are graciously accepted.

Great Trip. Very Adventurous indeed. Sent that postcard from Hikkim to my grandmother who has always wanted to travel but couldn't. She called me crying. That one small thing made me emotional the whole evening. The package was great but that moment is what I'll carry forever. Thank you Viacation.

Being from Sikkim I thought I knew cold. Spiti in winter is another level completely. What I loved was how untouched everything felt. No crowds at any of the monasteries, no noise in Kibber, just snow and silence everywhere. Viacation planned this beautifully.
