About the Kailash of Chamba Helicopter Journey
At an altitude of 4,080 metres in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, Manimahesh Lake serves as a sacred pilgrimage site for Lord Shiva. Moreover, the majestic Kailash Peak rises above the lake, and devotees regard it as the eternal abode of Lord Shiva.
'Mani' means a divine gem (like the Manek Ratna in Somnath in Gujarat), and 'Andesh' translates as 'Lord Shiva', which gives it the meaning of 'divine jewel of Lord Shiva'. Forever, people believe this peak got its name from a mythical hill that fell, along with Parvat/Gauri’s reflection.
They visited the topmost point on a full-moon day while travelling to Mani Mahadev. Moreover, the pilgrims also observe the unique sight of first rays and light effects occurring on the mountain over Kali Gumti in the sacred pond.
As a result, thousands of devotees attend the annual Kailash of Chamba Yatra, held during Shri Krishna Janmashtami and Radha Ashtami (August–September).
Moreover, they collect Ganga Jal (holy water) from Mani Mahesh Lake, carry it back to their homes, and pray in Lord Shiva's name, seeking the blessing of Moksha.
