About Kinner Kailash Parikrama Trek

One of the most challenging treks in the Indian Himalayan region, the Kinner Kailash Parikrama trek takes you into a deep wilderness of the Kinnaur region in Himachal Pradesh. The most scenic and remotest regions of Himachal, located close to the Indo-Tibetan border, Kinnaur is home to the sacred Mt. Kinner Kailash. The Sutlej River rising from the slopes of Kailash Parvat near Mansarovar Lake in Tibet, flows through the Kinnaur valley adding to its serene and picturesque charm. Owing to the valley’s close proximity to Tibet, you will find a unique blend of Hinduism and Buddhism cultures; the pagoda style architecture and monasteries are quite common in the area. Needless to say, being a sensitive border area, foreign nationals are required to take prior permits from tourism authorities.

Considered to be one of the mythical abodes of Lord Shiva, Kinnaur holds a great religious significance for devotees of Lord Shiva as Mt. Kinner Kailash in the region boasts of housing a 79 ft. tall Shivlinga that changes its colour which each passing moment. Mostly attempted by pilgrims, the Kinner Kailash Parikrama (circumbulation) trek is a test of one’s faith, physical and mental fitness and strong determination. Along the trek, while revelling yourselves in unmatched scenic vistas of beautiful meadows, apple orchards, hanging glaciers and towering peaks, also be prepared to negotiate your ways through treacherous trails, climbing massive boulders, ascending narrow paths with loose gravel and stones and crossing large water streams.

Commencing from the Thangi village near Chail, the Kinner Kailash Parikrama trek navigates you through scenic Charang Village, high mountain pass of Charang La standing at an altitude of 17,200 ft. above sea level, finally ending at Manali via Chitkul, Tabo and Losar.

Kinner Kailash Parikrama Trekking Tour Highlights

Where is the Kinner Kailash Parikrama Trek
