Mt. Kailash Tour


Mt. Kailash (6714 m) is the most sacred mountain in Asia. It is a true pilgrimage, logistically complex and expensive trek through far North-Western Nepal leads to the Tibetan border. Cross the border on foot and drive to holy Mt. Kailash, where you gain merit by walking around the mountain.


Mt. Kailash is believed to be the physical embodiment of the mythical Mt. Meru, said to be the centre of the universe or " navel of the world" Mt. Meru is often depicted as a mandala, and its image occurs throughout both Buddhist and Hindu parts of Asia. Mt. Kailash is holy to followers of four religions. To Hindus, Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva and nearby Manasarovar Lake is the names or soul of Brahma. Tibetans call Kailash. Kang Rimpoche. Jains worship it as Mt. Ashtapada, the peak from which the religion's founder, Rishabanatha, achieved spiritual liberation. Followers of Bon-po, the ancient pre-Buddhist shamanistic religion of Tibet, revere Kailash as the soul of Tibet.
Another geographical factor that contributes to the mystical aspect of Kailash is that nearby are the headwaters of four major river of the Indian subcontinent, the Sutlej, Karnali (a major tributary of the Ganges), Brahmaputra and Indus. The mouths of these rivers are more than 2000 km apart, yet they all have their source within 100 km of Mt. Kailash.
