As the name implies Panchalingeswar is famous for its unique ‘panchalinga’ or the five lingas of Lord Shiva enshrined in the temple. Coupled with the majestic hills, there are many waterfalls that add lure to the place. Branches of natural spring flow through the hill ranges that add attraction to the place. The temple is located on a hilltop and houses five Shiva lingas, immersed in the depths of a small waterfall. But getting there may seem to be an arduous task as one needs to ascend 263 stairs to reach the temple. The small waterfall becomes bigger during the monsoons and the 5 rock piece kind of formation called the Pancha Lingas becomes difficult to locate. To touch the lingas one has to lie flat on a rock and get a feel of the lingas.
