The Bijli Mahadev Trek is a perfect blend of spiritual experience and scenic Himalayan trekking, ideal for beginners and short-duration trekkers. This 1 night 2 days trek starts from the quaint Chansari Village in Kullu, offering trekkers a serene trail surrounded by lush deodar forests, breathtaking valley views, and an aura of divine energy.
At the heart of the Bijli Mahadev Trek Kullu Manali lies the ancient and sacred Bijli Mahadev Temple, perched at an altitude of around 2,460 meters. Known for its mystical lightning phenomenon, the temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is a spiritual wonder. Local legend says that lightning strikes the Shivling inside the temple every few years, which then breaks and is miraculously repaired using butter by the temple priest. This phenomenon is what gives the temple its name — Bijli meaning lightning and Mahadev referring to Lord Shiva.
The Bijli Mahadev Trek in Himachal Pradesh is relatively easy and well-suited for families, solo travelers, and groups. It takes around 3–4 hours to ascend from Chansari Village to the temple, with panoramic views of the Kullu Valley, Parvati Valley, and Beas River making every step worthwhile. The trek offers a peaceful camping experience near the temple, where trekkers can soak in the divine vibes under a starry Himalayan sky.

Your Bijli Mahadev Trek Kullu adventure begins as you arrive at Chansari Village, located just a short drive from Kullu town in Himachal Pradesh. After a brief introduction and safety orientation by our trek leaders at Travelling BEE, we begin our scenic uphill trek to the revered Bijli Mahadev Temple.
The trail is moderately steep and meanders through thick deodar forests, offering panoramic views of the Kullu Valley, the Beas River, and distant snow-capped peaks of Parvati Valley. This 3 to 4 km trek typically takes 2 to 3 hours depending on pace, making it ideal for beginners and nature lovers.
Upon reaching the top at an altitude of approximately 2,460 meters, you’ll be welcomed by the awe-inspiring sight of the Bijli Mahadev Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is famous for the myth where a divine bolt of lightning shatters the Shivling, later restored by the priest using butter — a unique phenomenon that defines the mystique of Bijli Mahadev Trek Himachal.
