Things to do nearby.
The Chintpurni temple is the heart of the town, and the reason most people visit. It is one of the major Shakti Peeths, a site of great religious significance. This home is a five-minute walk from the temple, making it easy to attend early morning or late evening prayers without worrying about transport. The surrounding market is full of small shops selling offerings, local crafts, and food.
Beyond the temple, the town is a gateway to the lower hills of Himachal. You can explore the surrounding countryside, though most visitors focus their time on the spiritual purpose of their journey.
Getting there.
Chintpurni is in the Una district of Himachal Pradesh.
By air: The nearest airports are Dharamshala (DHM) at Gaggal, or the larger, more connected Chandigarh International Airport (IXC). From either airport, you will need to hire a taxi for the final leg of the journey, which can take several hours on hill roads.
By rail: The most convenient major railhead is Chandigarh (CDG), with connections to all major Indian cities. Pathankot is another option. From the station, a taxi is the best way to reach Chintpurni.
By road: The town is well-connected by road to cities like Chandigarh, Delhi, and Dharamshala. State-run and private buses ply these routes regularly.
Best time to visit.
The best months to visit are from March to June, before the monsoon, and from September to November, after the rains have cleared. The weather is pleasant during these periods. The monsoon season, from July to August, can bring heavy rain and the risk of landslides on the highways. The winter months, from December to February, are cold but the town remains accessible. The temple town is especially busy during the Navratri festival, which happens twice a year.
