Program Overview
Mani Mahesh Trek is one of the most beautiful treks in Himachal. Mani Mahesh Yatra is also a holy place for Hindus. Manimahesh Lake Trek (also known as Dal Lake, Manimahesh) is a high-altitude lake (elevation 4,080 meters (13,390 ft)) situated close to the Manimahesh Kailash Peak in the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, in the Bharmour subdivision of Chamba district of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The religious significance of this lake is next to that of Lake Manasarovar in Tibet. The lake is the venue of a highly revered pilgrimage trek undertaken during the months of August and September, corresponding to the month of Bhadon according to the Hindu calendar, on the eighth day of the New Moon period. It is known as the ‘Manimahesh Yatra’.
The Government of Himachal Pradesh has declared it a state-level pilgrimage.
