Parasnath Hills

In the middle of the flat lands of northern India raise the Parasnath Hills, a group of hills that are holy for people that follow the Jain religion. Every hill is dedicated to a God. Like the Jainist I started the pilgrimage at 4 a.m. in the dark. The whole clockwise circuit with ascent and descent is about 27km and takes an entire day including a lot of Chai stops. Some people pay to be carried the whole way up and down. It's not rare to see Jain people wandering around naked too, a sign of their purity. A truly spiritual hiking experience !Read more
