Jayanti Trek

This trek was done by “Aditya and the Crew”. As described in my previous post about Jayanti Devi Temple located only a few kilometres (11 km) away from Chandigarh, this trek is followed by the temple site.

This trek is yet unexplored and the Jayanti Majri Village is also underrated but once you visit this place would come over again and again…TRUST ME! We did it already many times during our stay in Chandigarh.

It is the perfect destination to kick off city’s crowd and to spend some quality time with nature in peace. And the plus point is …it is not so far away from the city. What else an explorer wants!

Trekking Adventure Story:

To explore the wilderness and natural surroundings of Jayanti Majri village, the group (Trekkers) mentioned above took this trek early in the morning. After visiting the temple, the crew headed towards the trek.

On the way, they saw “white paw buddy”, swimming. It just mesmerized all of them (trekkers). They never saw a dog swimming so confidently, gave an impression of the perfect swimmer.

Surprise Trekking Partner

So, that was not the ONLY description about the dog fellow. He looked curious and followed the trekkers. At starting it seemed he would be gone off soon. But to their surprise, he kept following and imitating their exploration.

Reaching the hilltop

The trekkers covered the whole trek in around 2-3 hours. This trek was not done in hurry. They keep treating themselves with jokes and laughter including some breaks to enjoy the moments in the wilderness. And their dog buddy also accompanied them as if enjoyed their company. Whole crew with surprise trekking partner reached the hilltop of Jayanti. The view from there was breathtaking and refreshing.

Go trekking with the right pair of footwear

Can you locate Jayanti Devi Temple from this point? Yes, sure you can as a tiny spot at far away hill. If you zoom this pic, you can also locate the village.

One can see Jayanti Devi Temple and Jayanti Dam from the hilltop at a distant sight.

After spending some soul healing time and had some of the beautiful camera clicks, the crew came back. This trek was done early in the morning without breakfast. After that much morning hiking, soul-feeding adventure it was the time for a heavy breakfast to feed stomach also.  🙂

Loved your surprise trekking partner!

    1. That’s true Navita. This trek is still underrated and the city beautiful is not known for trekking site too. But being an explorer we always try to discover new places among the popular ones. 🙂

    I have travelled to Chandigarh many times but never heard about Jayanti trek earlier. This looks a nice place to trek and also added this place in my list to visit here when I visit Chandigarh next time.

    1. Sure, Rahat. You will never regret your visit to this place. Hope you would visit soon.

  7. Have spent a large part of my time near Chandigarh. Have been to this city so many times yet no one told me about this hiking point. It sounds seriously underrated and I can only imagine how gorgeous it would look in the monsoons.

    1. Truly underrated trek indeed. We have known many people who belong to Chandigarh but never heard of this trek. It was just out of curiosity to explore hidden places we managed to discover this place. 🙂

  8. Utsav says:

    It looks like a really unfairly underrated route 🙂 I often choose these too 🙂

    1. True, Marta. But people who admire the beauty of nature would surely able to locate such places. Even though these places are not so much popular. It is like a beauty in disguise. 🙂
