Like most trekking routes in the northern part of the country, the Bijli Mahadev Trek remains closed in the winter months. Due to extreme weather conditions and immense snowfall, the road remains un-travelable and unfit for tracking.
The trek is a relatively easy one and is most suitable for beginners. Its a bit difficult for the first 1 kilometer as the climb was a bit steep.
It is believed that once in 12 years, the Shiv Ling in the temple is struct by lightning and the priest builds anothers one with butter.
The Bijli Mahadev Trek is ideal for beginners and for people with health problems. Since the track does not involve steep climbing or reaching higher altitude it can be pursued by anyone.
The trek is relatively safe and hardly records any deaths or accidents. In spite of being prone to thunder and lightning, the region is considered without risks, as compared to the other Himalayan treks.
