Description
Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar - 10 Days
mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, lying near the base of Mount Kailash, is equally revered. Its crystal-clear waters are believed to cleanse sins and grant spiritual merit. Pilgrims often perform ritual baths and prayers at its shores, considering it a source of purity and divine energy.
The Kailash Kora, a 52-kilometer circumambulation of Mount Kailash, is a challenging yet deeply transformative experience. Completing the Kora is believed to erase the sins of a lifetime, with one circuit bringing immense spiritual merit. For Tibetan Buddhists, 108 circumambulations are said to lead to enlightenment. The trek involves crossing the Dolma-La Pass at over 5,600 meters, a physically demanding yet spiritually uplifting journey. Each step of the Kora is an act of devotion, reflection, and renewal, making Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar a pinnacle of pilgrimage for seekers from across the globe.
A trip to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar from Kathmandu is a spiritual and adventurous journey through the heart of the Himalayas. Mount Kailash, revered in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon, is considered the sacred abode of Lord Shiva and the axis mundi of the world. The pilgrimage begins in Kathmandu, where travelers prepare for the journey with visa processing and cultural sightseeing, including visits to Pashupatinath Temple and Swayambhunath Stupa. The route traverses the rugged Tibetan Plateau, offering breathtaking landscapes of snow-capped peaks, high-altitude deserts, and ancient monasteries. The highlight is a visit to Lake Manasarovar, one of the holiest lakes in the world, known for its pristine waters and spiritual significance. Many undertake the challenging Kailash Kora, a three-day trek around the sacred mountain, seeking spiritual renewal. This journey, blending natural beauty with profound spirituality, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for adventurers and devotees alike.
