The pilgrimage to Kinner Kailash, buy one of the most revered site for Lord Shiva, is undertaken in the month of August every year. Pilgrims from all over the country come for this pilgrimage to get darshan of the 79 foot high vertical rock lingam, located in the Kinner Kailash range. The lucky ones get to witness the Shivalingam with changing colors, if it’s a clear day. The rock face is actually located at a height of 20,000 feet between the Mt.Kailash and Mt. Jorkaden.

The meteorological department at Shimla had predicted light rains from the 1^st to 4^th August and heavy to moderate from 5^th to 6^th, before the onset of the yatra. The administration had decided to deploy two policemen and a home guard jawan with every batch of pilgrims in order to assist them at every point of the way.
