The Parikrama or circumambulation at this place starts from Kalpa via Triung valley and back to Kalpa via Sangla valley. Many pilgrims visit this sacred place every year.

Mount Kinner Kailash holds a religious significance among the Hindus because of the huge "SHIVA LINGAM", which is a 79 feet vertical rock formation that looks like a Shivlinga. This rock formed representation of Lord Shiva believes to change its colors throughout the day. Kinner Kailash is counted among one of the legendary abodes of Lord Shiva.
