One of the most important Pilgrimages of Bhadarwah is the Kailash Yatra which commences from Bhadarwah and culminates in a sacred freshwater lake called Vasuki Kund which lies in the centre of peaks of kablas mountain also called Kailash Parvat. Situated about 21 kms from Bhadarwah about 14500 ft. above sea level, this lake of cold crystal clear water is considered to be abode of Nagraj Vasuki. Thousands of Pilgrims from different places participate in the yatra every year.
