Shrikhand is a heaven for pilgrimage

more than 5000 pilgrims visit Shrikhand Mahadev peak every year. This number is increasing every year.

via Nirmand-Arsu-Bagipul is the most easy and adventurous treck to wholy Shrikhand Mahadev peak...in Indian mythology at the period of MAHABHARTA the Pandwas used this treck to reach wholy Shrikhand Mahadev...
A group of devotees start Pavitra CHHADI Yatra (The wholy stick march) from Nirmand in the leadership of MAHANT (the head priest)..this year Chhadi yatra will start from 15 july 2007..... a lot of SADHUS, common people and tourists join this...
.....Shrikhand Mahadev peak is open for travelers in july 1st weak to mid august... but it is very risky to visit in August due to heavey rain and snowfall in hights (even sometime cloudburst)... so the most favourable period is mid july to end of the month...
This is a three days journey...
