Skanda Vale

A wonderful spiritual space tucked away in the remote countryside of Llanpumsaint. We were able to make our pilgrimage up from London which is around. 5.5hrs drive and experience all temples, pujas in the natural elements and an enlightening space away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The roads leaving up to Skanda Vale can be very narrow so do take care if driving by car. Accommodation, temple services and hospice/cafe are also available. We came with a tour group, so make sure you maximise your time here. Skanda Vale along with all pilgrims and community members is a highly energised place and there is often a lot of walking along steep inclines and loose road surface.

A wonderful temple located in the lovely hills of Carmarthen at Llanpumsaint. Completely maintained by volunteers and dedicated priests who perform pooja with immense devotion while maintaining close to nature it’s serenity and purity.
Away from the hustle and bustle of a busy world, you will experience absolute peace and tranquillity at the heart of Mother Nature.
Ample parking space at the temple and food (prashadh) offered to attendees after the pooja. Narrow roads lead to temple, so driving vehicle with caution is advised.

Free parking. The very last 1.5 mile stretch is a narrow road with passing points and can have one car at a time. I do have a fairly big car. Book a slot online so it's easier to attend any puja

Visiting this divine place second time and planned to stay for 2 days as skanda hafan (which is managed by skanda vale). Blessed to do seva whole day and attended ranganathan pooja, murugan pooja and maha shakti pooja. It was such a holy and sacred experience. People do not know much about this temple. Please do visit once to experience an incredible feel.

We visited to this place in early September and it's a beautiful temple for you to visit and also you enjoy the nature. Temple is opened at specific time so you need to plan your drive...otherwise you need to wait for longer period. They do provide lunch and dinner prasadam which will be very good and tasty. They also many accomodations but prior booking is compulsory. Even for darshan you need to book. They have many temples Ganesha,Ari Ranganatha, Kali,Guru Samadhi and Murugan. Every temple have some timing to visit so plan accordingly . Self drive is recommended as the temple is outside the city.

No words to say. A beautiful location. Almost no network😄 peaceful. Spend good time with nature. Keep calm and prey to god. Don’t miss Kalima 🙏🏻Pooja evening. Roads are congested. So drive carefully.

Massive disappointment after travelling for 6 hours. Most of the Temple surroundings are not well maintained and no Hindu tradition is being followed.
Temple priest turn off the Aarti without presenting it to devotees
Priests touching the deity with shoes onn 😔
No food in restaurants nor prasadam

In terms of scenery, there are lot other good place which can be explored in South wales

I love this place , when I entered the temple ,my mind is feeling well .and they conducting the Pooja and provide food for mentioned timing ..so it's too good
