Himachal Pradesh is home to many historical and religious sites.... and also known as State of GODs... The state boasts of several exciting pilgrimage trails leading to sacred temples... The Manimahesh Yatra is one such pilgrimage which starts from Lakshmi Narayan Temple in Chamba and ends at the Manimahesh Lake in Bundhil valley...
Here are some PHOTOGRAPHS of Waterfalls on the way to Manimahesh : MANIMAHESH YATRA 2010
There are countless number of waterfalls on the way and water in all of the streams in considered very medicinal... I met a gentleman who told that some medicinal plants of Himalayas are found in this region and water is very good for skin, breathing and other things which I forgot :)
The Manimahesh Lake is believed to be one of the abode of Lord Shiva as per the Hindu mythologies...
Notice pilgrims in colorful dresses in this photograph and try to think about the height of this waterfall... Last time I had such huge waterfalls on Shrikhand Trek ...
The pilgrims walk along the rocky path completely bare footed, singing Bhajans and praying ecstatically to Lord Shiva... After reaching Mani-Mahesh Lake they take dips in the holy water. With the termination of the Manimahesh Yatra, the devotees visit the ancient temple of Chatrari, which is located between Bharmaur and Chamba...
Some of us tried to climb up these hills on with these water streams but its near to impossible to complete with these streams...
The wonderful route not only attract the pilgrims but also excites the adventure lovers and tourists...
Freshness flowing through heavy rocks @ Manimahesh, Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA
Walking to the way of the Manimahesh Lake is a wonderful experience... One will forget the pains of the tiresome journey watching the wonderful natural scenery and fresh environment around.... However one should be physically fit to endure this journey in an altitude of 4100 meters....
Manimahesh is well approached from Pathankot through Chamba and Bharnaur... Pathankot is nearest railway station to approach this place...
The Manimahesh Yatra in Himachal Pradesh is treated as a state level fair as per the declaration of the Himachal Pradesh State Government. The Himachal tourism department has undertaken various plans and programs to promote this wonderful event...
