Nages Devta Temple Sangla

This ancient hill and village temple is dedicated primarily to Lord Shiva, with other deities including Bairing Nag, Jagas, and Sheshnag also worshipped here.

The temple stands as a living heritage site, attracting devotees and travelers seeking spiritual solace amidst the breathtaking Himalayan landscape. The temple is open for darshan from 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with a mid-day closure approximately between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM.

Visitors can participate in the evening aarti, a significant pooja held from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, which is a spiritually uplifting experience. Entry for darshan is free, allowing pilgrims to seek blessings without any fee.

The best time to visit Nages Devta Temple is during the evening aarti, in the pleasant summer months from March to May, the serene winter period from November to February, or during the vibrant festival season.

The Fulaich Festival, also known as the Flower Festival, is celebrated here in August-September, drawing devotees and tourists alike. For those planning a visit, the temple is accessible via a scenic route. Travelers can arrive at Chandigarh or Shimla by air or train.

From Chandigarh, taxis or HRTC buses connect to Shimla, and the journey continues along NH5 via Narkanda, Rampur Bushahr, and Jeori. After Wangtu, the route leads to Karcham, from where a link road ascends 17–18 km uphill to Sangla Village.

The temple is located about 500 meters from Sangla market, accessible by a walk down cobblestone paths.

Please note, there is no dedicated parking; vehicles are parked along Sangla market roads or small village turnouts, and the approach is not wheelchair accessible due to uneven stone paths and steps.

For accommodation, Sangla village and its surroundings offer various options including homestays, hotels, and hostels such as Bhandari Homestay, Escape Camps Rakcham, Hotel Prakash Regency, Hotel Geetanjali, and Zostel Sangla.
