Shrikhand Mahadev Trek

Moderate Trek

Positioned at an altitude of 5155 meters, Shrikhand Mahadev Peak looks like the Shivling. It is believed that Lord Shiva meditated at this peak and it was visited by Pandavas as well. The peak offers engrossing views of nature. The surrounding snow covered peaks add on to the natural charm of the place.

The trek to Shrikhand Mahadev is a treat for adventurers, nature lovers and spirituality seekers. At the top of Shrikhand Mahadev, there is a small shrine of Lord Shiva that is visited by the devotees in a great extent. July and August is the main pilgrimage season in which the devotees of Lord Shiva pay a visit to the peak of the mountain. Thus, Shrikhand Mahadev can be considered as the destination of great importance for both the Hindu devotees and trekking enthusiasts alike.

There are few sparkling glaciers that a trekker has to cross before reaching the final point. The pilgrims perform puja and precessions at the shrine of Lord Shiva here. Positioned at about 16,900 feet above the sea level, Shrikhand Kailash can be accessed from Jaon, Gushani, Bathad and Jeori. The simplest and easiest route begins from Jaon Village of Kullu District, which is located around 167 kilometres away from Shimla. The way to reach Jaon is through car, bike or bus. The starting point of the trek is Jaon boasting a shrine of Goddess Shakti. From Jaon, it is 70 kilometres of two-way track that passes through lush woods, streams, meadows and mountains. It is a difficult climb to the peak but the scenic views make it worth carrying out. Singh Gad is a village located two kilometres from Jaon. Singh Gad is the last habitat of civilization on the trail to Shrikhand Mahadev. This exquisite trail passes through opaque forests, sprawling meadows, water streams and soaring mountains.
