Situated at Pir Panjal Range of Himalayas, Manimahesh lake is an high altitude lake (located almost at 4080 M from sea level). According to the Hindu religious aspect, Manimahesh Kailash peak stands high close to the lake and is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva. Pilgrimage to Mani Mahesh is called “ Man ka Mahesh” because it provides one with after viewing Manimahesh Kailash and taking a holy dip at lake. Every year hundreds of devotees visit the lake of Manimahesh for worshipping their god.
