Kailash 2008 - 16 days |
 |
 |
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...!
