Heritage & yatra · Chamba, H.P.
Chamba & Manimahesh
The old hill kingdom of Chamba — its Chowgan, ancient temples and museum — and the sacred road to Bharmour and the Manimahesh Kailash lake.
About the trip
An old kingdom and a sacred lake.
Chamba is one of the Himalaya's oldest princely towns — the grassy Chowgan at its centre, the carved stone Lakshmi Narayan temple complex, the Bhuri Singh Museum of Pahari miniatures and the Chamunda Devi shrine on the hill above the Ravi.
From there the road climbs to Bharmour, seat of the ancient Chaurasi temples, and on toward Hadsar — the trailhead for the Manimahesh Kailash yatra, whose glacial lake mirrors the peak sacred to Lord Shiva. We drive you to the road-head and arrange the onward help you need.
