Manimahesh Kailash Yatra

Package code: KMT-2023

Description

The Manimahesh Kailash is also known as Chamba Kailash. This is one among the Panch Kailash. Manimahesh Kailash stands towering high over Manimahesh Lake, which is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva. The Manimahesh Lake is at the base of the Kailash peak at 12,960 ft and is held in deep veneration by the people of Himachal Pradesh, particularly the Gaddi tribe of the region. It is believed that after Amarnath Darshan, Shivaji, and Maa Parvati move into this Kailash and remain here till Radha Ashtami. Manimahesh signifies a "Jewel (Mani) on Lord Shiva's (who is well known as Mahesh) crown". According to a local legend, the moon rays reflected from the jewel can be seen from Manimahesh Lake on a clear full night, which is a rare occasion. People gather around late at night with a clear sky and wait for the mani darshan. It is believed that before the Manimahesh yatra one should visit Bharmani Mata temple and then only a pilgrimage to Manimahesh Kailash can be considered as complete.
