- Jageshwar is basically a temple town, with less prospects for sight seeing unless you are interested in the whole religion meets history meets architecture scene.
- Since the place has nearly no (Read More) luxury stay and eating out options, you may want to consider packing your travel essentials and some dry food as well for longer journeys.
- Do not carry too much cash with you, especially during local festival times, to avoid major losses in case of any theft.
