Ultimate
pilgrimage, a journey of a lifetime
The
holiest natural shrine for Hindus, Buddhists,
Jains and indigenous Tibetan Bons, Kailash
(6714 mt, 22156 ft) is situated in the southwestern
part of Tibet. On the lap of Mt. Kailash
is Lake Manasarovar. It gives the most beautiful
and impressive foreground to the silver
dome of Kailash shining away in the north.
A visit to this holiest place was something
of a dream for mankind in the past. Now
the network of motorable roads has turned
the dreams into reality. Journey begins
with scenic drive from Kathmandu to Nepal–Tibet
border, Kodari. From here land cruiser jeeps
take us to Kailash Manasarovar to achieve
our ultimate goal.
We
take complete circumambulation of Manasarovar
by jeep and visit some of the Gompas on
the shore of the lake. Similarly, we take
the most fascinating Kora (circumambulation)
of Kailash on foot. As you trek around the
mountain, you enjoy the grand views of Kailash
from all directions. The high pass, Droma
La (5636 mt, 18600 ft) provides you the
grand views on both sides of the valley.
A
ritual bath in the sacred Manasarovar will
deliver a pilgrim to Brahma’s paradise
and a drink of its waters relinquishes the
sins of hundred lifetimes. Conventional
wisdom says a single circuit of Mt. Kailash
wipes out the sins of a lifetime, 108 guarantees
enlightenment.
We
offer overland journey to Kailash and Manasarovar
from Kathmandu for different durations.
The entire tour and trek around (parikrama)
Mt. Kailash is fully supported with camping
equipments and services of Sherpa team from
Heritage Trekking. The trip culminates with
a visit to Lake Manasarovar before we drive
to the border with Nepal near Simikot or
Kodari to return to Kathmandu.
This
tour can be combined with a tour of Lhasa.
An optional extension up-to Kashgar, Golmud
and Pakistan border is also available on
this tour.
It
is indeed a rare opportunity and privilege
for all of those devotees who have been
dreaming to be close to the home of the
Gods in this world or who are simply in
search of magic of nature !!. Come, join
one of our tours, we make your dream come
true. |
