1. Trek to Srikhand Mahadev ( approx- 4 Days after-- shimla)
Best Time to visit--- August ( This is the time when the local folks do their annual yatra to the Lord's abode.
Religious Significance: The peak is considered as one of the seven Kailash, the sitting place of lord Shiva. Every year the locals ( Primarily: Kullu/Rampur/Mandi) visit the ShivLinga at the top of the peak.
Terrain: Its mostly Lower/middle himalayan trek with the peak's height reaching more then 5000 meters . The trek will go through pine forests/ breath taking water falls/Glaciers . Temperature will be cold at the top and moderately cold for the last 4 or 5 hours of trek. But throughout the travel be prepared for a steep climb and some ice walk over the glaciers.
Route: Shimla to Rampur ( 135 KM -- bus/car)
Rampur to Baghipul ( approx 40 Km-- Bus/car)

The trek starts from here basically---
Jaon Village to Singhgad ( 3 km trek--- Langar available at the time of yatra)
Singhgad to Tharchur ( 8 km trek--Langar available at the time of yatra)
This could possibly be the first days halt--- Better stay near the population unless u are a freaking nomad.

This will pass through DandaDhar-->Kalighat(The first sighting of the Peak )---->KunshaDhar--BhimTalai--> Bhimdwari( Langar available at the time of yatra)
