The sacred lake of Manimahesh (4,115m), reflecting the image of Manimahesh Kailash towering above, draws the faithful by the tens of the thousand at the time of the annual pilgrimage. Manimahesh Lake, at the base of Mount Chamba Kailash (5,775m), is said to be adobe of Lord Shiva. Traditionally, pilgrims used to start from the Lakshminarayan Temple at Chamba (996m) and covered the 87-km route in seven stages, on foot.
By road we have to travel from Chamba to Bharmour ( 65 Km ), then to Hadsar ( 17 Km ) .
