Hidden deep in the serene mountains of Himachal Pradesh near Kalpa, the Yulla Kanda Trek is a rare blend of spirituality, raw Himalayan beauty, and peaceful adventure. This sacred high-altitude trail leads to Yulla Kanda Lake, beside which stands the highest Krishna temple in the world, believed to have been visited by the Pandavas during their exile. Surrounded by snow peaks, alpine meadows, and untouched landscapes, this trek offers a soul-stirring experience far away from crowded pilgrimage routes.
Starting from Yulla Village near Reckong Peo in Kinnaur Valley, the trek is short yet deeply rewarding, making it perfect for both spiritual seekers and nature lovers. Over three days, travelers walk through forests, mountain ridges, and high camps while witnessing breathtaking views of the Greater Himalayas. The calm energy of the temple and lake creates a powerful spiritual atmosphere that many describe as truly divine.
With Nagarjuna Travels, the Yulla Kanda Trek is carefully organized with comfortable camping, experienced guides, nutritious meals, and full safety support — allowing you to focus on the journey, devotion, and natural beauty.
Spiritual Significance of Yulla Kanda
Yulla Kanda holds immense spiritual importance in Hindu mythology. According to local belief, the Pandavas built the Krishna temple here during their vanvas (exile). The temple sits beside a crystal-clear glacial lake at high altitude, symbolizing purity, devotion, and divine presence.
Pilgrims believe that praying at this sacred spot brings peace, strength, and fulfillment of wishes. The peaceful isolation of the location enhances meditation and spiritual connection, making it one of the most powerful hidden pilgrimage destinations in the Himalayas.
