35 kms from Almora, Jageshwar is believed to
be the adobe of twelve Jyotirling's. It is situated
in a beautiful narrow valley surrounded by magnificent
Deodar trees. The complex, consisting of 124
temples and hundreds of statues, is famous not
merely for its exquisite craftsmanship but also
for its Swayambhu Linga named Nagesh.
In Jageshwar, fairs are held during Shivaratri
and in the month of 'Savan' (July, August).
The place is frequented by both religious
as well as nature lover tourists.
