Tour History
Shrikhand Mahadev is one of the abodes of Lord Shiva and is considered as a pilgrimage place for Hindus. The 75 feet Shiva lingam at the top of the Mountain is at the height of 5227 Meter. Every year the route to the top of the Mountain opens for 15–20 days due to the critical conditions of weather and the accessibility of the Mountain top
Legend
Legend has it that there was a demon named Bhasmasur and he preached to please Lord Shiva through hard penance. Lord Shiva was pleased and accorded him with the power called Bhasma Kangan which allowed him to turn every living being into ashes he would touch their head.
Bhasmasur, soaked in his pride after gaining the powers wanted to turn Lord Shiva into ash and tried to touch him. Lord Shiva had to get help from Lord Vishnu and vanished into the caves on the top of the Mountain which is now called Shrikhand Mountain.
Lord Vishnu then transformed himself into a female enchanter named Mohini and then tricked Bhasmasur into touching his own head which turned him into ash.
Trek
Shrikhand Mahadev is located in Kullu District Himachal Pradesh India, Every Year the Shrikhand Trek opens for 15–20 days in the month of July. The trek starts from the Jaon Village in the Nirmand region of Kullu District. The trek could take up to 3–4 days to complete depending on the weather conditions. The trek on the first day is very steep and you need to set up your first camp in the place called Thachdu. The Second camp is to be set up at Kali Ghati next day from where you head towards Bhimdwar on the third day. The fourth day is spent while viewing the most majestic mountains to reach the last camp at Parvati Baag. To reach the Shrikhand Peak Summit one needs to start early from the last camp and be back at the same camp by the evening. It is believed that the pilgrim’s first need to pay their respects at the Holy Lake called Nain Sarovar before they head towards the Shrikhand Peak. It is considered one of the toughest treks in the Kullu District.
