ManiMahesh Lake trek, situated at an altitude of 4,080 meters in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites dedicated to Lord Shiva. Surrounded by the majestic ManiMahesh Kailash Peak (5,653 meters), this sacred lake holds immense religious significance and attracts thousands of devotees and trekkers seeking both spiritual solace and adventure. The journey to ManiMahesh Lake begins from Pathankot, followed by a scenic drive to Bharmour, a historic town renowned for its ancient temples and cultural heritage. From Bharmour, the actual trek starts at Hadsar, leading through mesmerizing landscapes and spiritually significant sites like Dhancho, Gauri Kund, and Shiv Krotri before reaching the divine ManiMahesh Lake. Spiritual Significance ManiMahesh Lake is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva, and devotees consider it second only to Mount Kailash in its spiritual importance. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva is said to have meditated here after his marriage to Goddess Parvati, and the peak is believed to be unclimbable, as no one has been able to reach its summit. The name “ManiMahesh” comes from “Mani” (jewel) and “Mahesh” (a name for Shiva), as legend says that a divine jewel (Mani) on Shiva’s forehead radiates light, illuminating the lake on certain nights. The Yatra (Pilgrimage Journey)The ManiMahesh Yatra is an annual pilgrimage that takes place during the auspicious period of Janmashtami and Radha Ashtami (August-September). Thousands of devotees undertake the arduous trek to the sacred lake, believing that a holy dip in its waters washes away sins and grants liberation (moksha).
