In the neighborhood of Triund is another temple of Mata Gari Wali. My solitary trekking to Gari Mata Mandir in the heights of lower Dhauladhar 9,500 feet and in front of Mighty Dhauladhar of Palampur, Kandi which is accessible from Dovri village near Kandi village a head of Saurabh Van Vihar, Bandla and Lohna.
The area of Gari Mata is just an isolated place in winters with empty and open huts built by the shepherds and only during April to October the shepherds live here with their livestock.
Yet the spell bounding views and silence of the temple area is unforgettable.
From the heights of Gari Mata you can have the sight of Char Pathar (Mysterious Rock Formations) on the North, Birni Devi on the North-East and Devi Himani Chamunda, Triund and Devi Kunal Pathri on the North-West.
After climbing further 800 meter you can stand face to face with the top hill of the Mighty Dhauladhar in Palampur region.
