Nirmand · Jaon · Shri Khand Peak · Natural Shivling
Shri Khand Kailash is a 72-ft natural Shivling standing at 5,155 m in the Kullu district of Himachal — one of the most demanding and most revered pilgrim treks in all of India. The trail climbs through rhododendron forest, alpine meadows and glacial streams before reaching the rock pillar worshipped as Shiva himself. This is a serious high-altitude yatra, and we run it from Dehradun with experienced guides.
