I never thought I would trek to the magical place “Shirkhand Mahadev”. In the year 2017, I finally decided to start one of the toughest treks of my life.

I could feel the toughness of the trek on the starting two days when my group started trekking from Jaon to Thachru and next day to Bheemdwar. But we faced the biggest challenge when we had to overcome the low oxygen level and high altitude sickness and forward the trek to Shrikhand top.

Looking over the toughness, I thought to stop at Nainsarowar and decide whether I’m heading forward or backward. With the name of Bholenath, I finally decided to go forward to the top. I crossed all the glaciers between Nainsarowar and Kailash with 3-4 degree temperature and about 17,000 feet altitude. After crossing the last glacier of 400 meters, I reached on the top.

The moment I saw the Shrikhand Mahadev shivling in front of me, I couldn’t stop my tears of happiness. I stayed there for 30-35 min, captured all the magical happy moments in my heart and finally trekked down.
