Mount Kailash Mansarovar Tour  


Trip Overview

Mount Kailash Mansarovar Tour is a magical journey to the holy spirits in which Mount Kailash is considered as the abode of Lord Shiva. It is a part of Transhimalaya in Tibet & lies near the source to longest rivers in Asia like Indus, Sutlej, Brahmaputra and Karnali River. It is the spiritual center for four great religions: Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Jain religion and the Pre-Buddhist animistic religion - Bongo. 

Lake Mansarover lies near Mount Kailash which also has religious importance. It is the combination of two words “Manas” & “Sarover” meaning Mind & Lake respectively. According to Hindu mythology, it is regarded as the first lake created in the mind of Lord Brahma.

Every year thousands of pilgrims travel to Mount Kailash on believing their good fortune and wash the sins. Those who drink from the Lake Mansarover are believed to go to the residence of Lord Shiva after death. This tradition dates thousands of years back.

We offer you to be a part of this timeless tradition which will not only help you understand the Hinduism but also experience the beauty of nature around this sacred mountain.
