ABOUT NANDI KUND TREK TREK

Nandi Kund is located approx. 4800 mts. in Madmaheshwar – Kalpeshwar trail. The trail commands a beautiful view of lush green meadows and lofty snow covered peaks. There are some very old woods, which are worshipped, as belonging to the Pandavas. It is a lake spread over an area of one and a half km.

The Trail covers Madmaheshwar, 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 lingam. Located at the 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, dug 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 a descent slope towards Vaitarni. Bansi Narayan Temple is an 8th century temple and is a beautiful place to view Himalayan peaks. Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of matted hair at Kalpeshwar. Kalpeshwar is a favorite spots for sages who come here to meditate, following the precedent of Arghya who performed austerities and created the celebrated nymph, Urvashi, here, and the irascible Durvasha who meditated under the wish fulfilling tree, Kalpavriksha.
