The Kinnaur Kailash (locally known as Kinner Kailash) is a mountain in the Kinnaur district of the Indian state Himachal Pradesh. The elevation of the Shiv Lingam is 4640 meters from sea level and is considered as sacred by both Hindu and Buddhist Kinnauris. This mountain is sometimes confused with the Mount Kailash in Tibet. It is one of the toughest pilgrimages in the Himalayas.
Shivlingam is a 79 feet high and 30/40 feet wide vertical rock in the Kinner Kailash mountain range.
