About Sem Mukhem Temple
Dedicated to Nag Raja (King of Serpents), Sem Mukhem Temple holds immense religious importance, especially for the Garhwali people. According to legends, this is one of the few places where Lord Krishna had once subdued Kaliya Naag — a myth intricately linked to the temple’s legacy.
Situated at an altitude of around 2,900 meters, the temple offers not just spiritual solace, but also panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan valleys. The calm, cool climate, the scent of pine in the air, and the rhythmic chants of devotees create an atmosphere unlike any other.
The Journey to Sem Mukhem
Reaching the temple is an adventure in itself. The final leg involves a scenic 7–8 km trek from Khamba Khal village, winding through lush forests, rhododendron groves, and meadows. It’s a journey that connects you with nature and faith alike.
For those seeking a blend of spiritual tourism and soft trekking, this trail is ideal. The route is also rich in flora and fauna — a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers.
