Manimahesh Yatra Route

Bharmour is last town if you are going to Manimahesh. 13 km from Bharmour, Hadsar is the base village from where the trek to Manimahesh lake starts. Bharmour to Hadsar can be covered by local taxis charging 30/40 rupees/Person and 350/400 rupees if you book the taxi for yourself. Hadsar starlight princess x500 to Manimahesh needs to be covered by foot, around  13 km of steep climb along the bank of Manimahesh Ganga, which originates from the Manimahesh Kailash Peak.

After reaching Bharmour, its better to start your journey early next morning.  Reach Hadsar in 30-40 minutes. Then start your journey to  Dhancho, which is 6 km away from situs judi bola  hadsar and usually takes 5-7 hours. You can stay in Dhancho or can go same day to Manimahesh. Before Manimahesh lake there is Gauri Kund located 1 km before Manimahesh Lake.

The belief is that Lord Shiva used to take bath in Manimahesh Lake and goddess Gauri used to take bath in Gauri Kund. Only Women take a dip in Gauri kund and all others can take a dip in Manimahesh Lake.

During the annual pilgrimage in August-September, many night-shelters and eateries (Langar or Food) are present along the trekking route. Night-shelter is also available at village Dhanchoo, about 6 km from Hadsar on the way to Manimahesh.

As Manimahesh yatra is a state festival, accomodations are easily available. There are several Sewa Camps hosted by Sewaks from HimachalPunjab (specially from Pathankot, Patiala, Amritsar, Muktsar) and from all over India. These Sewaks provide you with tented accommodations and free langar (food). These tented accommodations are provided both at Gauri Kund and Manimahesh lake.

Sleeping bags, tents and quilts are provided for a very cheap price. It feels so pure and blessed that everything is provided for free by these Sewaks who are doing this sewa in the name of Lord Shiva, to get the blessing of Almighty God.
