A small temple, dedicated to Ma Kali and is a holy place of worship enroute to Munsiyari. Idols of Ma Kali, Shivaling, Ganesha are available inside the temple. Also, the statue of Saint Kalamuni is established inside the temple premises. It is believed that the temple has a divine aura that releases all bad energy and negative vibes.

Temple of Kala Muni falls enroute while you are entering or leaving Munsiyari towards Almora.
we spent a little amount of time there , instead focussed more on the Thamri kund trek which is just beyond the temple.
well laid out stone path take you to a hidden kund in the midst of the forest. approx distance 6.5 Km round trip.Steep at places, yet a starter kind of trek.

this is a must visit stop on your way to munsiyari & darkot . it is located nearly 12 km before Munsiyari on the right side of the road & a couple of steps lead you to the temple complex . this temple is dedicated to Goddess Kali & is very popular with the locals & every driver stops here to seek blessings of the mother Goddess for safe journey ahead. This temple also serves as the best vantage point to view the Himalayan panorama.the view of the Panchachuli peaks from the temple complex is the best & even better than what you get to see in Munsiyari or Darkot

People are very honest and straight foward but little miser may be due to poverty. Certain local food items are very cheap but others are little costly. Bargain for the deal always.

Visited this place while travelling from Chaukori to Munsyari. The road from Chaukori to Munsyari is pretty interesting. Till Birthi falls its a road passing along the banks of ramganga river, but after Birthi the road suddenly winds its way uphill and gains height considerably. At almost 9000 ft Kalamuni pass/top is the highest point in this route.
We started early enough, almost at 8 a.m from Chaukori and apart from a 20 minutes break in Birthi drove non stop. By 11.30 we reached Kalamuni Top.
From almost a kilometer before the top we could see snow laden along the road, and in Kalamuni top, we saw the entire area covered in thick blanket of snow. The small plain land which is there on the top, was fully covered, and against a clear blue winter sky we could see Mt Panchachulli, Mt Hansling in their full glory.
Kalamuni top provides a tantalizingly close view of both of them.
Munsiyari is another 10 km from the top, mostly downhill. However the best views are from Kalamuni.

It was 5th of May,2018, on the way from Birthi Falls to Munsiyari ( 2135mt) the distance is 30km, but on the mid of the way we were to cross Kalamuni Pass at a distance of 17km from Birthi . Birthi is situated at 1800mt & Kalamuni Pass is at 2700mt ie in 17km we were to reach at a height difference of 900mt ie 3000 ft (approx). The road is narrow & dangerous. One side the lofty hills trying to kiss the sky & on the other side the extremely deep gorge. This the highest point on the Thal- Munsiyari road. When we started the weather suddenly became foul with initially drizzling that turned into hail storm. The surrounding became dark in the afternoon. The driver, a hill expert, was trying to manage with light on but the fog was so thick that it forced him fight with a challenge. In the meantime the wiper was jammed & he had to get down to move it & he became successful. We started wiping the inner glass & the AC was on for hot air. It was a real challenge as it was pouring down melted ice on the dashboard & within a short while both the roadside became white with snow except any snowfall.Once I wanted to know if he could halt for a while, total dark, violent thunder storm. The driver firmly set at naught my advice as it would totally stop our journey within deep snow. It will add fuel to fire if any vehicle would come then from opposite direction. I want to share my experience with my fellow tourist if any one come across such a situation, though the drivers in the hill area are expert but those who are urban?
Anyway we reached the Kalamuni Pass, there were 3 cars waiting, we crossed the spot, the Kalamuni temple was on the right side of the road. We had no scope to visit the temple. Our sole intention was when we could reach the destination, another 15 km to reach our night halt at KMVN TRH. However, on the day of return on 7th , it was a bright sunny weather, we halted for half an hour . We were spellbound at the nature’s beauty here. The temple is situated in the forest of pine trees. Here we were charmed at the panoramic view of the Pancha Chuli peaks. The temple is known as Kalamuni Temple dedicated to Naga God Kalamuni & the deity is Goddess Kali seated on a lion being worshiped as the adorable by the Naga sadhus whom we met in the temple lawn smoking cannabis (ganja). The temple is the abode of Shiva lingam, Ganesha, Hanumanjee and that of saint Kalamuni except the goddess Kalika. There is a very interesting fresco of the goddess in the outer walls of the temple at the entrance. This a must visit place.
