Manimahesh Kailash Trek
The Caucasus Mountains are a mountain range at the intersection of Asia and Europe
Overview
Manimahesh Trek is one of Panch Kailash Yatra. Manimahesh is a holy place for Hindus. Manimahesh is also known as Chamba Kailash. The religious significance of Manimahesh lake is next to that of the Mansarovar lake.
The Manimahesh Lake is situated close to Holy Kailash peak which is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva. Manimahesh lake is located at an altitude of 4,080 m above sea level.
Manimahesh Lake is the venue of a highly revered pilgrimage trek undertaken during a specific period of the year. Lord Shiva is the presiding deity of this pilgrimage. He is believed to reside in Kailash. A rock formation in the shape of a Shivling on Kailash is considered to be the manifestation of Lord Shiva.
The snowfield at the base of the mountain is called Shiva’s Chaugan by the local people.
According to the mythological books, the lake was created by Lord Shiva after he married Goddess Parvati. It is also believed that Lord Shiva performed penance here for seven hundred years, and the water started flowing from his tangled hair which later took the form of a lake.
In the periphery of the lake, now there is a marble image of Lord Shiva, which is worshipped by pilgrims. The image is called the ‘Chaumukha’. The lake and its surroundings present an impressive view. There is also a small temple in the shikhara style on the periphery of the lake. A brass image of Lakshmi Devi known as ‘Mahishasuramardini’ is deified in the temple.
And thus, the trek to the Manimahesh lake has been termed as Manimahesh Yatra and the state government has also declared it as a state-level pilgrimage.
Manimahesh lake is approached from different routes. Pilgrims from Lahaul-Spiti come through Kugti pass. Some from Kangra and Mandi come via Kawarsi or Jalsu passes. The easiest route is from Chamba and runs through Bharmaur-Hadsar.
Beyond Hadsar, the pilgrims have to trek for 15 kms to reach Manimahesh Lake. Dhancho, Sundrasi & Gaurikund are the main stations that come on the way from Hadsar to Manimahesh Lake.
For the trekkers the journey to Manimahesh Kailash commences from the month of June and continues till early October. It is an easy-moderate level trek where beginner-level trekkers can also participate.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was truly the best trip of my life! Spiti is magical in itself, but the way this Heaven Riders planned and executed everything made it even more special and unforgettable. From the breathtaking landscapes to the smooth coordination, everything was perfectly managed. A special thanks to Vishal ji for his constant support throughout the journey. He made sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment. What I really appreciated was that he didn’t just stick to the itinerary — he also showed us extra places that weren’t even mentioned, which made the experience even more memorable. Every small detail was taken care of, and the entire trip felt well-organized and stress-free. I created memories for a lifetime. Highly recommended to anyone planning a Spiti trip — you can trust them completely for an amazing experience! 🌄✨ Looking forward to many more trips together in the future😊

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don't post reviews at all but for this I had to. Thanks to heaven riders, I managed to complete one of the most difficult courses in high altitude mountaineering. This would not have been possible without the brilliance of our mentor Mr. Vishal Thakur. Under his leadership and guidance, the whole week was packed with adventures and learnings. I would also like to thank Ms. Kalpana, who made all the ends meet with her patience and constant coordination with us. Everything was handled very seamlessly. Heavenridersindia team is indeed very professional. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have no words to express my gratitude to Mr. Vishal Thakur and his team. I went for an ice climbing course to Spiti valley with their team. This is supposed to be one of the toughest courses at high altitude areas. In chilling temperatures of minus 28 degrees, tough climbs at high altitudes as well as scaling the whole waterfall, Vishal Thakur was an absolute epitome of leadership and technical expertise. He believed in me more than I did in myself. The course was an absolute success! I will definitely be coming back for the advanced course! Everything from the logistics to the stay to the food and the teaching was managed impeccably. As a special mention, I want to thank Ms. Kalpana as well who was coordinating with me throughout the journey and made sure she was available even in the wee hours of the morning without a single complaint. The whole team clearly works for a common purpose.
