Parasnath Trekking Guide in Jharkhand

Parasnath  Trekking  Guide in Jharkhand
Shikharji Jharkhand Parasnath Hill trekking Guide
Parasnath Hills travel guide
Parasnath Hill is among the best trek of jharkhand
But the information on Trekking Guides online is outdated
Nearest Railway station is Parasnath railway station
from there are two otpions for trekking (only in theory)
One is from Nimiaghat while other is through Madhuban
No one goes from Nimiaghat,its only in theory
Only possible way is go to Madhuban and then Hike 13 Km on foot
From Parasnath (Isri Baazar) to Madhuban  Taxi Charge is Rs 350
In lean season they can settle for Rs 200/-
Other option is shared Trekker which Charges From Rs 30. to Rs. 40  per head.
Few Things to note  (For Non Jain Trekkers)
1. Stay in Madhuban Instead of Isri Baazar
2.No leather is allowed for trek,so get purse,shoes and Belts made of Canvas.
3. Busy Season is from August to January.During other months there are ample stay opportunities at Madhuban
4.Jains eat before sunset.So canteens in Madhuban Dharmshalas offer diner between 5 to 6.30 Pm.Stock Enough Food for Night if you need.
5. Pilgrims Start trek at 0300 AM with help of Torches.Starting at 3 am will help in saving lot of time.

Eatables are available along the way.But Charges are extra.A water Bottle Costing Rs 12-15 will be available for Rs 30 on the way.A cup of tea will cost Rs. 10 . A 12 Rs MRP mango Juice will cost cost Rs 20.

After 7 km there are two Options.One is the traditional way consisting of many stairs,other is great trekking Route going to Parasnath Temple .So opt for the Right way going to Parasnath if you are interested in trekking  .
