ABOUT

The Kinnaur Kailash (locally known as Kinner Kailash) is a mountain in the Kinnaur district of the Indian state Himachal Pradesh. The Kinnaur Kailash has a height of 4650 meters and is considered as sacred by both Hindu and Buddhist Kinnauris. This mountain is sometimes confused with the Mount Kailash in Tibet. The Kinnaur Kailash Range borders the district of Kinnaur in the south and is dominated by the Kinnaur Kailash (elevation- 6050m) and Jorkanden (elevation- 6473m) peaks. Jorkanden is the highest peak in the Kinner-Kailash range; one can admire it comfortably from a bungalow at Kalpa. The Kinnaur Kailash trek as done is up to the Shiv Lingam and is considered as a difficult one among the other pilgrim treks. The original trek is also known as "Kinnaur Kailash Parikrama". The parikrama starts from Tang Ling village and finally culminates in Sangla on the other side of mountain.
