Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Tour

Package Overview

Kailash Mansarovar tour offers rigorous overland driving, trekking, and camping, passing the remote and wild western Tibet. Popularly known as Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, this tour requires at least four weeks of physical endurance to perform the circumambulation while following this regimen. The tour of Kailash Mountain and Mansarovar Lake is an essential part of your overall journey to Mount Kailash. Trekking through this long path is difficult and physically taxing. We travel by the Southern route and after our pilgrimage (religious or secular) we return by the same route. With great divine pleasure, we invite and welcome all the travelers to one of the most sacred pilgrimages of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. The tour of Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar takes the seeker through Nepal and Tibet, where an array of temples and stupas and ancient architectures are explored and enjoyed.

The holy Tibet Mount Kailash Mansarovar is situated in the western Tibetan Plateau in the northernmost region of the Himalayas. Also referred to as Mount Meru and Kang Rinpoche, or snow jewel, Mount Kailash is a 6714m high peak is considered as the sacred place for Buddhist, Hindu, Janis, and Bonpos for thousands of years. Hindus perform a ‘parikrama’ or walk around the 32-mile circumference of Mount Kailash, an act that is believed to wipe away all sins. It is believed that Lord Shiva had dwelled in meditation on its top. According to Hindu legend, the lake was first created in the mind of the Lord Brahma. Hence, in Sanskrit, it is called Mansarovar, which is a combination of the words Manas (mind) and Sarovar (lake) many pilgrims visit the place with full of devotion.

Most pilgrims to Kailash also take a dip in the nearby, highly sacred Lake Mansarovar (Lake of Consciousness and Enlightenment). Kailash Mansarovar Lake tour has been the pilgrimage site for centuries that people walking overland for weeks or months. The fee they are really approaching the center of the universe. Mt Kailash is also revered as the source of four of the great rivers of Asia, fueled by the water of the nearby holy lake Mansarovar also known as Tso Rinpoche or ‘precious lake’ in Tibetan. Bathing in the freezing cold water of the lake which is said to contain miraculous powers is considered to be of massive spiritual benefit during the Kailash yatra tour in Tibet.
