Mount Kailash & Lake Manasarovar
Tour
An
ultimate journey………..
Mt.
Kailash, (6,740 m) is situated to the north
of the Himalayan in land of Tibet. It is the
marvelous mountain with 4 great faces. It is
the spiritual centre for four great religions:
Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, the Jain religion
and the pre-Buddhist animistic religion - Bongo.
Spread out on the Tibetan plateau beside Mount
Kailash is the giant lake of shifting colors
- Lake Mansarovar. Brahma, the creator, had
a mind (‘Man’) for the creation
of a lake (‘Sarovar’), hence its
name. A pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and a bath
in the Mansarovar is believed to bring about
salvation and washed away all the sins of life.
This adventure begins with the
drive across the Himalaya west into Tibet to
Holy Lake Mansarovar. Here you will join the
throngs of pilgrims who, for centuries, have
converged on this remote southwestern corner
of Tibet to circumambulate the sacred mountain,
considered to be the center of the universe
by Hindus and Buddhist alike Kailash enjoys
great popularity the folk religion of Tibet
- it is the soul of the country and assures
protection for all Tibetans. The fountain head
of four great Asian rivers (Indus, Sutlej, Bramhaputra
and Karnali), few mountain reveals Kailash for
its mystique, isolation and prominence, for
3 days you will walk with pilgrims around this
almost perfectly symmetrical mountain before
the trek back into Nepal. Yala Tours and travels
takes you into northern riches of the country
where only few trekkers have walked these trials,
unchanged over the ages. The encounter with
the herders, pilgrims and the local people will
be lively and make for precious memory. It is
an experience of a lifetime...!
