Jakhu Hill
Jakhu Hill is the highest point in Shimla, standing at 2,455 meters (8,054 feet) above sea level. It’s not just known for its altitude but also for the iconic Jakhu Temple, dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Nestled amidst the vibrant beauty of the Shivalik hill ranges and surrounded by deodar trees, the hill offers stunning panoramic views of Shimla and its surroundings.
One of the major attractions at Jakhu Hill is the 108-feet tall statue of Lord Hanuman, one of the tallest in the world. According to Hindu mythology, it's believed that Lord Hanuman rested at this location while searching for the Sanjeevani herb during the events of the Ramayana.
The temple and the statue can be accessed via a scenic hike, taxi, or a ropeway that links the Ridge to Jakhu Hill.
