Shrikhand Mahadev Trek (It was a trekking for us)
Shrikhand Mahadev is situated at an height of 18,700 ft. above sea level in the Great Himalayan National Park of Himachal Pradesh, India. Trek for Shrikhand mahadev starts from Jaon village in Nirmand region of Kullu district (Himachal Pradesh)
RAMPUR-NIRMAND:

JAON VILLAGE: Jaon village is in Nirmand region of Kullu District from where this trekking starts. Don't expect that you can buy few things from this place. So its better to buy the important/useful stuff from Shimla. If you haven't contacted any adventure club for planning this trek for you, then give it a second thought at this place. You can hire a coolie here who can also help you to complete this trek in better way. (Ask for a person called Dhola Ram who can help you for the same)
