Bharmour · Hadsar · Manimahesh Lake · Kailash Peak
Manimahesh Lake (4,080 m) lies directly beneath the soaring Manimahesh Kailash peak (5,656 m) in the Bharmour region of Chamba, Himachal Pradesh. The 13 km trail from Hadsar passes the Dhancho waterfall and climbs to a lake so still it mirrors the mountain — one of the most spiritually charged walks in the western Himalayas.
