Every Year after Krishna Janma-asthami, the yatra to Manimahesh starts and ends on Radha Asthami. Located at the picturesque stetting of Chamba in Himachal Pradesh, Manimahesh Lake is approx 4800 meters above the sea level.
Every year hundreds of devotees visit the lake of Manimahesh for worshipping their god. The place attributes its name 'ManiMahesh' to the mythological belief that there is Mani (a jewel) on Lord Shiva's crown and locals believe that the moon rays reflected from the Mani can be seen from Manimahesh lake on clear full-moon nights. Infact, the light reflected from the glacier that adorns the peak really looks like a shiny jewel on the head of the mountain. There are many other interesting mythological stories popular among locals associated with this place. They firmly believe that a dip into the Lake would bring in peace and wash all their past sins.
Manimahesh is not only famous for the religious aspect. The natural beauty of the lake is breathtaking. Beautiful surrounding mountains, clear reflection of lake and wafting clouds give you an impression of heaven on earth. Water of the lake is so cold that only the strong hearted can take a dip in the water. The whole trip is soul stirring. Its commonly called as trekkers paradise. Every year during the span of Manimahesh yatra, team of Kailashmanasarovar.net organizes their own trekking trip for rejuvenation. Wann join us for Manimahesh trek, feel free to write us back.
