Welcome to the serene and sacred Bhadrakali Temple, nestled atop a lush green hill in the eastern outskirts of Pokhara city. This spiritual haven is situated closely to the south of Buddha Gumba, offering a tranquil retreat for devotees and visitors alike.

Formerly known as “Mudule Thumpko,” the Bhadrakali Temple has a fascinating origin story. Legend has it that the Goddess Bhadrakali herself commanded the priests to excavate the hill, leading to the discovery of her divine statue. Since then, the temple has stood as a symbol of devotion and is revered by worshipers who flock here to pay homage to Goddess Bhadrakali.

The temple is perched on a cone-shaped hillock, a central landmark in the surrounding human settlement. Dedicated to Kali, the Hindu goddess, Bhadrakali Temple also hosts various statues of other deities such as Ganesh, Laxminarayan, Suryanarayan, and Hanuman. The temple complex boasts additional infrastructures like Yagyamandap, Maulo, and Pati. The enchanting surroundings make it an ideal location for auspicious ceremonies, particularly wedding ceremonies that are frequently conducted here.

The temple hill is embraced by a forested area featuring diverse flora such as Chilaune (Schima wallichii), Katus (Castanopsis indica), Mahua (Madhuca longifolia), Tiju (Diospyros melanoxylon), and Rudrakshya (Elaeocarpus ganitrus). This natural haven is not only a spiritual retreat but also a popular destination for morning walks, exercises, and meditation. The temple premises include a playground and a pond teeming with various fish species like Tilpe, Vitte, and Maaur.
