Overview

The Twin Kailash Trek is a rare spiritual journey that takes you to two sacred Himalayan peaks, Kinner Kailash and Shrikhand Mahadev Kailash. Both are part of the Panch Kailash and hold great importance for devotees of Lord Shiva. What makes this sacred trek in Himachal Pradesh special is that it combines natural beauty, spirituality, and a glimpse into the cultural amalgamation of Hinduism and Buddhism.

The first part of this trekking tour in Himachal Pradesh starts with the Kinner Kailash Yatra. The monolithic pillar (Shivling) is located at an altitude of around 4800 meters on the Kinner Kailash mountain in the Kinnaur Valley. Earlier, the complete circumambulation around the mountain covered almost 200 km, though it was later shortened for pilgrims. On the way, you will also come across the shrines of Baspa Valley, known for their beautiful pagoda-style architecture.

The journey then continues towards Shrikhand Mahadev Kailash, where the 75-foot Shivalingam stands at the top of the Shrikhand Mahadev mountain at 5227 m. As per legends, this is where Lord Shiva meditated. The Pandavas are also believed to have visited this holy site in Himachal Pradesh. For the Shrikhand Mahadev Kailash Yatra, trekkers need to cross glaciers and steep alpine terrain, but the effort is rewarded with breathtaking views and a strong sense of spiritual peace.

This trek gives you a chance to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and serene valleys and experience the deep spirituality of these sacred peaks. It's a journey that brings together both nature and faith in the most unforgettable way.
