Dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the Hanuman Garhi temple is situated to the south of Tallital, at an elevation of 6,410 ft above sea level. It is believed to have been built by a famous local saint, Neem Karoli Baba, in 1950. A mammoth statue of the lord stands near the temple, while the sanctum sanctorum houses another idol, where the lord is seen tearing his chest to reveal the images of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita in his heart. The statue, about 22 ft high, stands against a backdrop of the panoramic Himalayas. Since the temple is located at a decent height, it makes for a great vantage point to catch picturesque sunrises and sunsets. Gaze in awe as the burning orb of the sun slides down the horizon, leaving behind an explosion of scarlet colours. The surrounding temples of Shitala Devi and Lila Sah bapu make for a great pit stop.

An ideal stop for peace-seekers and meditators, the Kainchi Dham Ashram is nestled in the Kumaon hills. Dedicated to Shri Neem Karoli Baba Maharajji, a local saint, the ashram is visited by hundreds of people every year, especially during the annual bhandara (open food service) held in June that feeds more than one lakh people. The ashram is flanked by various temples, including a Hanuman temple and the Kainchi Temple, where many foreigners come to spend time with the maharaj. A sacred cave, where Baba Neem Karoli is believed to have prayed, is also a popular attraction. The ashram was founded in 1962 by Maharaj Neem Karoli Baba and has been well-maintained since. It also provides accommodation facilities to visitors who want an immersive experience.

Lying on the northern part of Naini Lake, the Naina Devi Temple, dedicated to local deity Naina Devi, is a popular spiritual stopover. The temple is one of the shaktipeethas (devotional shrines where severed body parts of Goddess Sati fell) and draws devotees from all over the region. The sanctum sanctorum houses three deities-- Goddess Kali on the left, Lord Ganesha on the right and two eyes representing Naina Devi in the centre. Legend has it that once Goddess Sati's father held a yajna (a holy fire ritual) and failed to invite his son-in-law, Lord Shiva. Angry at her father, Sati immolated herself in the yajna. After this, Lord Shiva carried her body on his shoulders and performed his dance of cosmic destruction, tandava. Fearing that this would destroy the world, Lord Vishnu severed Sati's body with his chakra. It is believed that her eyes fell at the spot where the temple now stands.

Since the temple lies on top of a hill, it offers sweeping vistas of the surrounding areas. It has a large courtyard with a sacred peepal tree on the left and idols of Lord Ganesha and Lord Hanuman on the right. The entrance of the temple is striking and boasts two lion statues. The temple is especially crowded during the celebrations of Nanda Ashtami.
