Due to pride and ego, Bhasamasur tried to use the bhasama kangan (the invisible powder) on Lord Shiva , Mahadev vanished into a cave and later appeared on a hilltop that is presently known as the Shrikhand Mahadev Peak and the cave into which he had vanished is known as Devdhank and is situated near Nirmand.

Legend also reveals that the Pandavas had undertaken this pilgrimage. The Beautiful mountains of the Indian Himalayas are home to exotic flora and fauna.
