Geography & terrain
Triloknath lies in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh at about 2,900 m, 130 km from Keylong and 90 km from Udaipur — the border shrine town of the region, its 8th-century temple, the Buddha-Shiva deity and the views set on the Chandra valley's edge.
History & culture
The town's story runs with the 8th-century temple era — the border shrine town of the 8th-century temple and the 11th-century-era rebuild of the Tibetan life, with the town's modern role as the pilgrimage of the Lahaul circuit and the home of the 8th-century-era temple and the dual deity and the 2000s-era paths; the town's history of the 19th-century-era restorations and the valley walks, gives Triloknath its shrine character.
