Manimahesh yatra is considered one of the most important yatra as it is believed that Lord Shiva chose to stay mountain manimahesh Kailash after marrying Goddess Parvati at Mansarovar lake. Every year 6-7 lakhs of pilgrims visit manimahesh Kailash to take Lord shiva’s blessings. Number of pilgrims who visited Manimahesh in 2013 was significantly low due to fear of what happened during Kedarnath. However, there was heavy rush of pilgrims visiting manimahesh in 2014. Crowd at Bharmour during manimahesh yatra was so overwhelming that there was huge traffic congestion and some time it took more than 3-4 hours for vehicles to move a km around Bharmour. During Janmashtami in 2014, Bharmour was so crowded that few people didn’t even get place to sleep and food to eat. Large number of people had to sleep in the vehicles, and some spent the night searching for a place to sleep. Weather remained mostly well during Manimahesh Yatra in 2013 and people didn’t face any difficulties in Yatra. Weather in October was very good at Bharmour and Manimahesh. Many pilgrims visited manimahesh in month of October and were very satisfied with the ease of Yatra during this period. Manimahesh Yatra was mostly popular among north Indians but now people from all over India have started coming to Manimahesh. Increased number of internet users has helped in spreading importance of Manimahesh Yatra in India. In 2016 number of people visiting was around 2-3 lakhs.
