15 kilometres from Dwarahat is the famous temple of Doonagiri. Legend has it that when Hanuman was carrying the rock laden with 'Sanjiwani buti' to rescue Laxman injured in the batte of Ramayana, a piece of it fell here. This incident gave this place its name 'Doonagiri' ('giri' meaning fell). This temple was built in honour of goddess Vaishnavi. It is believed that the bronze plate inside the temple dates back to 1181 A.D. Standing majestically on a hill top, the temple attracts a large number of pilgrims every year.
Dunagiri, a stunningly beautiful part of Kumaon Himalayas in India, is at a height of about 7,500 feet. Famous for 'Dunagiri temple' which dates to 11th century, as well as for cave of Mahamuni Babaji of Kriya Yoga. Many plants with medicinal properties grow in the forests that are abundant in this area. Other places of interest nearby are Sukhdev muni ashram, Pandukholi and Kukkucchina. Project Dunagiri is an attempt at restoration of a typical Kumaoni house - in an environmentally sustainable as well as aesthetic manner. Plantation of native forest and medicinal plants is being encouraged to achieve a managed forest. Pits for water harvesting are being created. Perfect spot for meditation - as just BEING here puts one in a meditative state. Very charming, scenic and uplifting place.
