Bijli Mahadev Trek Overview

Bijli Mahadev or the God of Lightening is a mountain top overlooking the entire Kullu and Parvati valley. The legend has it that lightning strikes the idol of Shiva here every year, breaking it into pieces, and is later put together by a priest. The trek from Naggar village to Bijli Mahadev is one of the most beautiful ones that takes you right into the middle of Deodar forests, snow-white waterfalls and over a mountain ridge.

Trek Itinerary

DAY 0

Arrival in Kullu-Manali

You arrive in Kullu-Manali and get some time to acclimatize yourself. You can stay at our partner hotels/ guesthouses/ huts/ campsites.

DAY 1

Naggar to Jana to Mattigochhad

We drive to Naggar, a heritage village some 15 kms from Manali. The village is primarily known for the castle and Nicholas Roerich art gallery. After vising the gallery and the castle, we drive further to Rumsu village, which is some five kilometers from Naggar. We start our trek from Rumsu. We trek up the Deodar forests and reach the green meadows of Mattigochhad. We stay here for the night.

We start from Mattigochhad in the morning and after crossing one of the densest forests of the region reach Bijli Mahadev in the afternoon. From here you can see the entire Parvati as well as Kullu valley. After some rest, you can visit the temple. After lunch, we’ll take a different route and descend towards Chansari village from where a taxi will take us to Kullu town and to your lodging.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions and answers

Will I be refunded If I cancel a trek?

It depends on when you are cancelling it. This is our trek cancellation policy:

Total Refund: If cancelled a month before the beginning of the trek date.

75% cash refund: If cancelled 15 days before the start of the trek date.

50% cash refund: If cancelled within a week before the start of the trek date.

Why cancellation charges?

Because when a trek is booked, our team starts making arrangements like taking permissions from the local administrations to checking routes to setting up base camps etc. So, if a trek is cancelled nearer to the trek starting date, higher the cancellation charges or lesser the refund amount.

Do we cancel treks?

It’s extremely rare. The Wildcone will cancel a trek only and only due to extreme and unfavorable weather conditions or natural calamities or because of some other external factors like a government regulation etc which are not in our hands. We have not cancelled any treks so far. If we do, we will provide a voucher for the full trek amount. The voucher can be redeemed in any of our future treks.

What all do I need to bring along for a trek?

Depends from trek to trek. But a pair of good hiking shoes and warm clothes are a must for any trek. Once you have booked a trek, our team members will provide you all information and answer all your queries.

What’s the menu during a trek?

We serve three vegetarian meals — breakfast, lunch and dinner — everyday on a trek. Consumption of alcohol is not allowed.

Because your safety and a hassle-free experience is our top priority. And this is ensured by our seasoned professionals, who are the most trusted trekking guides in the Kullu valley having decades of experience in mountaineering.
