ॐनम: शिवाय
I dedicate this work to great divine power of the Universe.
ManiMahesh Lake, which is also known as Shiv Kund, is situated in the Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas. The ManiMahesh Kailash peak, which stands high close to the lake, is believed to be the abode of lord Shiva. The lake is situated at a height of 13,500 feet above the sea level. This is one of the Panch Kailash of Lord Shiva. Others being Kailash Mansarover, Srikhand Mahadev, Kinnaur Kailash and Adi Kailash.
I went to ManiMahesh in Sept 2007, between Janmashtami and Radha Ashtami. That time, I hardly knew anything about the place, except that it is known as the abode of lord Shiva and the base of Kailash mountain—from where we can see the holy Kailash. I kept searching the Internet; found a few pages on some blogs, but could not find a single website dedicated to ManiMahesh. So I created this website in an effort to put together my experiences as well as compiled information about the place, to assist fellow seekers who may be religious followers searching for divinity or travelers in pursuit of peace and serenity.
