| The Trail covers
Madhymaheshwar, kachani Dhar, Pandav Sera, Nandi
Kund, Ghiya Vinayak Pass (5200 mts.), Bansi
narayan and Kalpeshwar. Shiva is worshipped at
Madmaheshwar in the form of navel - shaped
lingum. Located at base of Chaukhamba peak, at
an altitude of 3,289 mts, the classic temple
architecture belongs to the north - Indian
style. The Pandav sera valley is 3-4 km. wide
and local people believe that Pandavas
stayed here for a long time, dig a canal and
transformed it into a cultivable land. Ghiya
Vinayak pass is really a challenging task for
trekkers where one has to walk on big boulders
and an descent slope towards Vaitarni. |

Kalpavriksha.
