Mt. Kailash /
Mansarover Trek |
KAILASH AND MANSAROVER:
 Mount
Kailash (Kangrinpoche) is situated in the Western
part of the Tibet, has been considered sacred
by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Bompons for
thousands of the years. For the Hindus and Buddhists,
it is the center of the universe. A pilgrimage
to the mountain and round it, is such a supreme
goal for the faithful, it is easy to understand
how after, walking overland for weeks or months,
they feel, they are really approaching the center
of the universe since ancient times.
Mt. Kailash has been revered as the source
of four of the great rivers of the Asia, fuelled
by the waters of nearby holy lake Manasarover.
Rivers Indus, Brhmaputra (Tsangpo), Karnali
(The sacred Ganges) have their sources within
sixty miles of the mountain. One can reach this
centre of the universe by joining our group
or making separate tours/ treks.
MANSAROVER :
The great lake Mansarover is situated in the
south-west corner of Tibet and in the north-west
of Nepal. It beyond high Himalayas which borders
Nepal and China. Tibetan plateau in itself is
unique in its geographic make up with its fauna
and flora and mythical setup of ecosystem. The
lake is 20 kms from Mt.Kailash and is one of
the most beautiful and sacred lake in Asia.
It can be circumambulated in four or five days.
It is often a gem like cobalt blue color but
during storm, it can turn into a churning black
sometimes.
According to Hindu and Buddisht epics, the four
great rivers of the Indian sub-continent, the
Indus, Ganga, Sutlej and Brahamaputra actually
arise from Mansarover. In reality, only the
Sutlej originates from the lake. Mansarover
has been circumambulated by the Indian pilgrims
at least since being extolled in the sacred
Sanskrit literature called the Puranas around
1700 years ago. Legends has that the mother
of Buddha, Mayadevi was bathe at Mansarovar
by Gods before giving birth to her son.
