A lovely mountain drive will take you to Jakhni Mata, a small temple situated on a hilltop with serene surroundings and offering awesome views of the valley. You will be welcomed by the sweet smell of pines and the soothing sound of wind cutting through the leaves of these trees. I really enjoyed the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the temple, which must have been because of its location amidst pine forest on a secluded hill away from the crowd, besides religious reasons. You will hardly find a person or two visiting the temple. You can also trek from Jakhni Mata to Birni and back. It is an easy trek through the pine forest. But the views of the Dhauladhar range that you get on the way are simply out of this world.
