Kinnaur Kailash, Kalpa Overview

Kinnaur Kailash is a revered mountain peak standing at an altitude of 6,500 meters (21,325 feet). It is considered sacred by both Hindus and Buddhists, as it is believed to be the winter abode of Lord Shiva. The highlight of the region is the Kinnaur Kailash Shivling, a 79-foot-tall vertical rock formation that changes color throughout the day and is worshipped as a symbol of Lord Shiva.

The Kinnaur Kailash Parikrama Trek is a challenging pilgrimage trek, covering rugged terrain, steep ascents, and breathtaking views of the Sutlej River Valley. The trek, which takes around 8–10 days, passes through Charang La Pass (5,300 meters) and several remote villages, offering a mix of spirituality and adventure. Due to the high altitude and difficult paths, the trek requires prior trekking experience and is best attempted between June and September when the weather is stable.
