A
journey to the holiest Mt. Kailash and Masarovar
with the proper acclimatization and exploration
tours in Lhasa.
The
Once in Lifetime Lhasa Kailash journey takes
you to Lhasa, Shangri-La of Tibet and mythical
Mount Kailash (6714m) and Lake Manasarovar.
Mount Kailash, the holiest of all the holy mountains,
the spiritual junction for the Hindus, Buddhists,
Jains and Bonpos: is situated in the western
part of Tibet. For the devout pilgrim a visit
to Mt. Kailash & Lake Manasarovar forms
the ultimate realization of their spiritual
pursuit. And for the adventure-lovers it offers
rugged beauty, remoteness, solitude and an adventure
into another way of life
We explore the Shangri-La's treasure trove of
architectural masterpieces - majestic Potala
palace, sparkling ancient Barkhor square, the
scenic Buddhist monasteries of Drepung, once
the largest The Jhokhang temple - a spiritual
center, the awesome summer palaces of the Dalai
Lama - Norbulinkha and peaceful and eye catching
monk debating in Sera Monastery. After proper
acclimatization and witnessing Lhasa's wonder
we take the rigorous overland driving, trekking
and camping, through the remote and wild western
Tibet to Mount Kailash. We can see the numbers
of isolated villages, nomads' tents with flocks
of sheep, domesticated mountain goats and yaks
grazing at the vast field. It is a journey into
a remote and secluded land where one seems to
leave behind one's material attachments as they
travel and trek towards the holy lake and Mt.
Kailash Kora.
Lake
Mansarovar, an expanse of sparkling blue water
sprawling over several miles, believed to be
the seat of Brahma (the Creator of Universe)
and the snow capped Mount Kailash is considered
as the abode of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati.
The entire Kailash trek is the holiest of all
the Tibet's pilgrimages, an oasis of peace and
serenity and the beacon that draws the many
travelers to the western Tibet every year. It
is said that a single circumference erases the
accumulated sins of a lifetime while 108 circumferences
achieve the Salvation or Nirvana.
