Kaleshwor Mahadev is located at a rural Southern Lalitpur

Kaleshwor Mahadev is  a form of Lord Shiva also know as Mahadev. Kaleshwor Mahadev temple is established to worship Lord Shiva. This is one of many Shiva temples found in Nepal. Normally we find temples and monasteries at the top of almost every hills of Nepal. This temple too is located at a beautiful landscape, at the top of a hill of Lalitpur. A little plain area, a small temple with Shrine of Lord Shiva, trisuls and ghanta is not just what Kaleshwor temple  is all about. Many people come here to worship Lord Shiva. It is believed that you can even win over your death. But the thing that attract most of the people who visit here is the beautiful view from the top.

Kaleshwor Mahadev temple is located  at the top of the hill at southern part of Lalitpur. To reach kaleshwor temple you have to goto Lele from sathdobato, then to Nallu, Bhardeu, katban and finally to Gotikhel.  You pass through villages, dense forests,rivers  and finally some off roads to reach sano gotikhel.  You can easily get a vehicle from Sathdobato or you can go to Chapagaun and get a vehicle. After some minutes walk in the jungle from Sano Gotikhel to the top, with other tall hills by your side, you finally reach kaleshwor temple, a beautiful place. Kaleshwor Mahadev temple is one of the best places for hiking.

Hill at Kaleshwor

Away from crowded city of Lalitpur, Kaleshwor  Mahadev temple is at a peaceful place, at the top of the hill. You have to travel through villages and dense forests to finally reach here. There is a range of hills with dense forests. Kaleshwor Mahadev temple is at the top of  one of the hill, from where you can see mountains, hills and Terai. It can be a best destination for a long hike. Or you can easily get to the bottom of the hill on a vehicle and have a short hike through the forest to reach to the top.

You can find some houses at the bottom of the hills but there is no human civilization at the top. You hardly will find anyone on the way once you pass through the last house at the bottom of the hill. Then there is dense forest, some wild animals, some birds and insects. You may find some one on the way if you are lucky, some one who have come for a hike or to worship Lord Shiva. This place is crowded at the time of Jatra at Chapagaun. All most all people celebrating Jatra come here to worship at that day.

Steep trials through a silent and lone forest might look difficult and dangerous but the view from the top will assure that the difficulties to reach here was worth it. I have captured a video from the top. Please have a look.
