The doors of Madhyamaheshwar temple, one of the toughest pilgrimages to travel in Uttarakhand, have been opened for pilgrims. Located in the higher Himalayas, the Madhyamaheshwar is the home to a grand temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Built in classic north Indian architecture style, this temple is one of the five holy Panch Kedar temples. Madhyamaheshwar temple is believed to be built by Pandavas, and is located in the Mansoona village of Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand.
