Hanuman Chatti serves as a base camp for many beautiful trek journeys that one can enjoy while walking amidst the snowy Himalayas of Uttarakhand.

This small town, being the entry point for many picturesque trails, is located about 286 km away from Rishikesh<\/a> in the Uttarkashi<\/a> district of Uttarakhand.

Given the clarity with the name of this place as ‘Hanuman Chatti,’ it can be easily surmised that it was the spiritual abode of Lord Hanuman (who was known as the loyal disciple of Lord Rama and always stayed with him in his good and bad days) some centuries ago. According to legends, Lord Hanuman used to stay in this area by camouflaging as a monkey. But one day, Lord Bhima was traversing through this place and saw an old monkey’s tail creating an obstruction in his path. Lord Bhima asked the monkey to take away his tail from the path, but the monkey denied any kind of help. Lord Bhima then took the matter into his own hands and started removing the tail from his path.<\/p>\n

However, after applying several of his efforts, the tail didn\u2019t budge. Lord Bhima came to the conclusion that this was no ordinary monkey, and folding both hands in submission, he asked the monkey to show his real face. After that, Lord Hanuman revealed his true identity, and Lord Bhima bowed to him in respect and admiration. After this incident, the place was named after Lord Hanuman\u2019s spiritual abode.<\/p>\n

This place is actually famous for having a century-old Lord Hanuman temple in total wilderness. Hundreds of devotees come here every day to pay their homage to the idol of Lord Hanuman carrying a mountain in his hand. There are many pilgrims who are on their expedition to Yamunotri, another spiritual place, and it is evident that they always make their spiritual rest at this place and worship Lord Hanuman in that temple.<\/p>\n
