Shrikhand Mahadev

Himachal Pradesh is known as land of Gods and also land of snowy mountains. Shrikhand Mahadev is one of the pilgrimages in Himachal Pradesh. It is situated in  Distt. Kullu of Himachal Pradesh. One can only experience this anonymous beauty of  nature if and only if  he/she has a strong faith in god and one must have strong will power , determination to complete this trek.

                                                                     I was obliged by Lord Shiva to experience this beauty in 2013. I was completing my graduation(B.Tech) during that duration. Official Shrikhand Yatra was going to start from 15-July-2013 and I decided to go for  this trek on 18th July along with my friend (Sumit kaushal). I asked my parents to for the trek. First they refused me to go the trek, but then I convinced them any how and then packed up my rucksack and left my home town. I met my friend in Shimla and then we moved on further for Rampur. We arrived rampur at 9AM and then we  collected some important accessories  for the trek.From rampur we hired personal taxi to the Village(Jaon) from where we had start our trek. Weather was pretty awesome there in Jaon. We Started our trek at 11AM with loud saying's of  "Har Har Mahadev"  

 

Positive energy begins to affect both of us  as we put our pace towards our destination. We had to cover a distance of 15 km on first day  and had to reach our first  halt  position Thachru. Trek was full of adventures from the beginning. Several people from  different areas of himachal pradesh had organised free food services for the trekkers and devotees.

After walking 8 to 9 hours we reached thachru at 9 PM. We put off our bags in our tents and then had our dinner which was also free , organised by  Seva Smiti  of Shrikhand Yatra. After having our dinner we went to our tents and took rest for the next day trekking.

When we woke up in next morning, drizzling starts, but we moved ahead to complete our trek. We had to cover a distance of 3 Km and had to reach Kali Ghati.

It was steep distance between thachru and Kali ghati , but our will power and determination kept us moving along the way. As the altitude was increasing , different view of nature was appaering in front of us.We took rest after arriving there and had some Maggi and pranthas in Dhabas there.

Then we move forward for  our next destiny Bheem dwari which was 7 KM from Kali ghati. 

It took about 5 hours to reach bheem dwari. . We met our batch mates there suddenly near Parvati Jharna, who were coming back from shrikhand mahadev. We were happy to see them .We stopped there for a while and asked them about their experience. They motivated us and then we moved forward for our next destiny Parvati baag.

Fascinating beauty of  nature and peaceful positive vibrations were  attracting us and  we were actually feeling the presence of god there in the valley.

Trekomania - For deep Himalayas

We reached parvati baag at 8PM . We were feeling tired after reaching parvati baag. We then booked a tent for ourselves and get packed into our tents as it was very cold outside .

Now it was the time to put our maximum efforts in next morning as we had to cover a distance of 10 Km . We had to go to the top and then had to come back again to parvati baag and weather was also changing there instantly.  So, we moved early in the morning to our final destination . The view was fantastic that we were filled with enthusiasm to achieve our goal .

We reached finally Shrikhand Mahadev at 1PM . I was feeling too good and too positive there , but as weather was turning bad , we were not able to feel that beauty for a longer time . So, we just thanked lord Shiva to give us this great opportunity to visit this pilgrimage and then we came back for our homes.
