Trekking around Kailash with a visit to Lake Mansarovar, Lhasa and Everest BC

Shrouded in mysticism and revered by millions, Mount Kailash is not only one of the most spiritually significant mountains in the world, but also the source of many hidden facts and intriguing secrets. Pilgrims often make a kora (circumambulation) around Mount Kailash, which is about 52 kilometers. This trek can be physically challenging due to the high altitude in the area (Kailash, 6638 m). This tour starts by jeep from Nepal, travelers enter Tibet through the border crossing (there is an option to fly). The program also includes a visit to Lake Mansarovar and Everest Base Camp.
Briefly some lesser known and hidden facts about Mount Kailash:

  • Perfect pyramidal structure, symmetry and appearance of the mountain resembles a man-made structure,
  • Formation of Mount Kailash is very different from the surrounding peaks,
  • Magnetic anomalies around Mount Kailash, compasses behave erratically near the mountain,
  • Buddhists and Hindus consider Mount Kailash to be the center of the universe (cosmic axis), it is located in the heart of the Tibetan plateau,
  • Sacred sound waves and vibrations that have spiritual significance - some claim that it is the divine sound of the universe,
  • Unexplained disappearance of climbers, they disappeared or faced serious accidents. Climbing is currently prohibited,
  • Pilgrimage around the mountain (52 km), performing Kora can wash away all accumulated sins, provide spiritual salvation, etc.

And also: the cleansing power of Lake Mansarovar - bathing in the lake can cleanse the soul and even heal physical ailments, as well as a visit to the city of Lhasa and Everest Base Camp
