Mani Mahesh Kailash Trek or Yatra is one of the beautiful and holy places for Hindus. Manimahesh Lake Trek (also known as Dal Lake, Manimahesh) is a high altitude lake (elevation 4,080 meters (13,390 ft)) situated close to the Manimahesh Kailash Peak in the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, in the Bharmour, Chamba, Himachal Pradesh. The religious significance of this lake is next to that of Lake Mansarovar in Tibet.
The easiest route is from Chamba and runs through Bharmour. At present buses travel up to Hadsar via Bharmour. Beyond Hadsar, the pilgrims have to trek for 13 kms to reach Manimahesh. Between Hadsar and Manimahesh is an important halting place known as Dhanchho where pilgrims usually spend a night. There is a beautiful waterfall.
About one and half kilometers short of Manimahesh lake fall two religiously important water bodies called Gaurikund and Shiva Krotri where as per popular belief Gauri and Shiva bathe respectively. The women pilgrims do take holy dip in GauriKund and the men pilgrims in Shiva Krotri before proceeding to Manimahesh lake.

Brahmani Temple is mainly known for Goddess Brahmani Mata, according to a local people they believe that the Bharmour was called Brahmpura after Brahmani Devi. When Lord Shiva went to Manimahesh Kailash granted a boon to goddess Brahmani Devi that all persons intending to go on pilgrimage to Manimahesh must have a dip in their holy pool. Failing this, their pilgrimage would not be acceptable to Lord Shiva. That is why every visitor firstly takes a bath in Brahmani's holy pool before Manimahesh Lake.
