| Duration | 6 days | |||||||||||
| Day-1 | Keylong-Udaipur, 54 kms By bus. At Udaipur visit the wooden temple of Mahishasurmardini, known as the Mrikula Devi Temple. The wood carving in the temple will certainly captivate the visitor because of sheer intensity of theme and projection. This temple has the most unimpressive exterior, but the inner facade speaks volumes about the richness of its carvings. |
