Himalayan
Mt. Kailash Tour - 17 Days .


Kailash Manasarover is the most venerated but the least visited sacred place in the world. This holy region is known as the navel (center) of the universe, attracting scholars and researchers from all over the world. Mt. Kailash provides a spiritually enriching, naturally unique and a truly rewarding journey of a life-time! No planes, trains or buses journey anywhere near the region and even with rugged over-land vehicles the journey still requires weeks of adventurous travel. The weather, always cold, can be unexpectedly treacherous and pilgrims must carry all the supplies need for the entire journey.

Mt. Kailash (6714 m) also known as Tise, Kailasa or Kang Rinpoche (Jewel of the Snows) has since time immemorial been celebrated in many eastern cosmologies as Mt. Meru. As the center of the physical & metaphysical universe, Mt. Kailash is sacred to different religions - the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Jains, and the Bonpos. The 53 Km. Kailash circuit is the holist of pilgrimages and the beacon, which draws most traveler to western Tibet. It is said that a single Parikarma (circle) erases the accumulated sins of a lifetime, while 108 cicurmbulation will achieve Salvation. Sprawling below Mount Kailash is the sacred lake Manasarovar (4510m), where ritual bath will deliver a pilgrim to Brahm's (creator of universe) paradise and drink of its water relinquishes the sins of a hundred lifetimes. Near Manasarovar is another large lake, Rakshas Tal, the ‘Demon Lake’ that holds far less spiritual significance. To travel for days on this remote plateau with the chance encounters of nomads herding their sheep or yaks is to be transformed into another way of life, to see and become part of such a devout pilgrimage as shown by pilgrims around MT. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar is overwhelming and a life time experience.

Fitness & Experience: While the trek itself is not especially arduous, most people will feel the effects of altitude. For this reason, the route is well-paced and we have plenty of time to acclimatise before setting off. A good level of fitness will help you cope better and enjoy the trek.
