THE PILGRIM TRAIL

KINNER KAILASH YATRA

Welcome to one of the most sacred and challenging pilgrimages in India — the Kinner Kailash Yatra, located amidst the breathtaking Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, at an altitude of approximately 15,000 feet. This divine journey leads pilgrims through rugged terrains, dense forests, and snow-clad peaks to a 79-foot naturally formed vertical Shivlingam, believed to be the holy abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. A symbol of immense spiritual energy, this sacred rock formation is revered for changing its hue with the shifting sunlight — a truly mystical experience in the heart of the Himalayas.

Significance of Kinner Mahadev

Kinner Kailash, one of the holiest sites in Himachal Pradesh, is deeply revered in Hindu mythology as an abode of Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati. Often confused with Shrikhand Mahadev, Kinner Kailash is in fact a separate pilgrimage and holds its unique place as one of the Panch Kailash.

At an altitude of around 15,000 feet, it features a 79-foot tall vertical rock Shivlingam, believed to be naturally formed. This monolithic pillar symbolizes Lord Shiva and is said to change colors with the position of the sun. The trek to Kinner Kailash is known for its spiritual significance and physical challenge, drawing countless devotees every year to witness this divine spectacle in the high Himalayas.
