Tibet Mount Kailash Tour

Overview

Mount Kailash, situated in the remote western part of Tibet, is an iconic peak revered by multiple religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. At an elevation of 6,638 meters (21,778 feet), it holds significant religious and spiritual importance, particularly as the abode of Lord Shiva in Hindu tradition. The annual Kailash Mansarovar Yatra draws pilgrims from diverse cultural backgrounds, embarking on a challenging trek to circumambulate the sacred mountain, known as the Kora or Parikrama. This pilgrimage not only offers breathtaking views of the majestic Himalayan landscapes but also provides a profound spiritual journey, believed to cleanse devotees of sins and grant blessings. The trek also includes a visit to the pristine Lake Mansarovar, adding to the spiritual sanctity of the entire pilgrimage.

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a test of physical endurance and spiritual devotion, as pilgrims navigate rugged terrains and high altitudes to complete the sacred circuit around Mount Kailash. The journey fosters a sense of unity among participants, transcending cultural and religious differences, as they share in the common goal of seeking spiritual enlightenment. The mesmerizing natural beauty, coupled with the deep-rooted religious significance, makes the Mount Kailash tour an unforgettable experience, attracting seekers of both adventure and spiritual fulfillment from around the globe.

My wife and I visited Nepal as a family with three children (ages 2,4 and 5) for 6 weeks. We had a wonderful time and great guidance from all the people of the organization. As from our arrival we were picked up at the airport and we were able to do a lot of things: Trekking for 8 days in Annapurna Region, visit Chitwan Nation Park, visit Kathmandu and the local school, trekking for 2 weeks in Solukhumbu region (Peaky peak trek) and with a stay of 6 days in the home village of most of the guides and closing in Bhaktapur. Special thanks to Tirtha(General Manager), Dawa(Guide), Ang dawa(Guide), Pasang and Phurdoma(Porter). I would truly recommend Bright way Trek.
