Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2023 –  Book Online!

According to Hindu methodology, Kailash is the home place of lord Mahadeva, and Mansarovar, which was built by two Sanskrit words “Manasa” (Mind) & “Sarovara” (Lake), which first conceived in the mind of Lord Shree Brahma, that way it’s called Man Sarovar. Kailash Yatra, also known as Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, is a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China at an altitude of 6638 Meters. The journey is considered sacred by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bönpo. The yatra typically involves a trek to the base of Mount Kailash and a dip in Lake Manasarovar, which is believed to wash away sins and bestow blessings. The yatra usually takes place during the months of June to September, when the weather is most favorable. The journey can be done on foot, or by horse or Yak, and can take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks. Many people consider it as a lifetime achievement, and it is considered to be very difficult because of the altitude and harsh weather conditions. It is considered a sacred mountain in four religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bön. It is the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia, including the Indus River, the Sutlej River, the Brahmaputra River, and the Karnali River. The mountain is also a popular destination for hikers and mountaineers. The Kailash trek is considered one of the toughest treks in the world due to the high altitude and rugged terrain.
