Mount Kailash is believed to be the site where Tibetan Buddhism, Jainism, and Bonpo religions originated. In Hinduism and Buddhism, this peak is worshipped as the "Centre of the Universe," while Tibetans see it as a savior. With Kailash Parvat and Manasarovar Lake, Tibet is an epitome of beauty and a popular pilgrimage destination. It is believed to be the dwelling of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati in Hinduism. As a Hindu, seeing Shiva's abode at Kailash washes away sins and bewilderment of life when he makes the arduous pilgrimage. A pilgrimage to Kailash to see Shiva's abode purifies a Hindu from sins and confusion. In a show of devotion and faith towards their god, thousands of pilgrims circumambulate Kailash Parvat (Kailash Kora). There is a Buddhist symbol called Swastika adorning the mountain's southern side, making it even more captivating and mysterious. There are many religious myths associated with this mountain, which has a 53-kilometer periphery.
Manasarovar Lake: Manas, which is derived from Sanskrit, means mind or consciousness and Sarovar, which is derived from Sanskrit, means lake. Manasarovar Lake can be found just 58 Kilo meters below Mount Kailash. The pond is believed by Hindu devotees to be the bathing pond of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati. There is no easy way to circumambulate this gigantic lake. Three days are needed to walk the circumference of this island. Monks, high lamas, and devotees chant and pray along the shores of the lake, inspiring them to complete their rotation. It is believed that rotating a lake can cleanse the soul of sins and heal the physical body of sickness and disease. The sacred water of the lake and a dip in it will grant one a place in Heaven, preventing birth, death, and rebirth. Salvation, or Mokshya, is the ultimate reward for such efforts. This land is the site of a holy trip organized by Monterosa Travel Company every year. Having you with us is always a pleasure. God is the guest. Below is a summary of our common itinerary.
