| MT. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar |
| A pilgrimage tour to Mt. Kailash via
Simikot in Nepal (18 Days) |
| Best Season: May - October |
Mt. Kailash,
at 6714 m also known as Tise, Kailasa & Kang Rinpoche(Jewel
of the Snows), has since time immemorial been
celebrated in many Eastern cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis
mundi. And as the center of the physical & metaphysical
universe, Mt. Meru is sacred to the Buddhist, Jains, the Hindus
& the Bonpos. For the Hindus, the mountain represents
the seat of Lord Shiva;
for the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection of the cosmic
mandala of Dhyani-Buddhas & Boddhisatvas…. The Wheel
of Life; for the Bonpos, Kailash was the sacred nine storey
Swastika Mountain, upon which the Bonpo founder Sherab alighted
from heaven. Four of the great rivers of the Indian subcontinent
originates from here: the Karnali, which feeds into the Ganges
(south); the Indus (north); the Sutlez (west) & the Brahmaputra
(Yarlung Tsangpo, east).
Tibet Travels & Tours offers special fixed trips to Mt.
Kailash & Lake Manasorovar to facilitate pilgrims &
foreign tourists. We are probably one of the few outfits that
provide Nepali Sherpa staff support for all of our treks in
Tibet so as to ensure similar high quality trek services that
exist in Nepal. All trips are planned to arrive at Kailash
on a full-moon day to obtain total & unhindered view of
the holy mountain.
With the opening up of the border
crossing between Nepal and Tibet via Taklakot(Purang) in 1994,
Mt. Kailash is now accessible for foreign trekkers with 6
days of trekking from the beautiful region of Simikot (3900
M). For this trek we follow the Humla Karnali route and trek
through rice and wheat fields, through surging waters of the
Humla Karnali, meet well educated friendly monks who speak
excellent English and yes, see some of the finest views nature
has to offer. |
