☎ +91 11 42654565  +91 800750030  [email protected]  www.kailash-yatra.org


‘Majestic Mount Kailash’. Considered to be a ‘lifeline for some of the Asia’s longest
rivers, this diamond-shaped mountain formed by the

Black rocks is accompanied with the rugged beauty facilitating each and every
devotee present here with the most fascinating and the scenic views throughout their
Kailash Yatra. The Parikrama of this peak while covering a distance of 52 km is more
than enough to have the most splendid views for the Mount Kailash accompanied
with an inner satisfaction. Mount Kailash stands right at an elevation of 6638 m
(21778 ft), it is thus considered amongst the Himalayas’ highest parts carrying varied
names with some of them being Gang Tise or Gang Rinproche. Billions of people
intend to visit this pious hub but lucky are those few people who are able to grab the
opportunity of having a highly positive experience here.

This beguiling destination is also recognized as a divine solution for Hinduism,


Jainism, Buddhism as well as the people belonging to Bon Po. It has always been
uttered that the Yogis and other people who are looking out for peace and salvation
undoubtedly head towards the Mountains due to the highly serene environment

with his beloved wife- Parvati, practicing some Yoga aesthetics and smoking
marijuana. According to them, their journey to the Holy Mount Kailash is a spiritual
way of attaining salvation and also washing away all their sins.

spiritual relevance.

https://www.kailash-yatra.org

The holiest lake of Tibet and also considered to be the world’s highest fresh-water
lake, Lake Mansarovar is clipped in the far western Tibet Ngari Prefecture that is
known to be ‘not so far’ from the Mighty Mount Kailash. This invincible lake is no less

while extending across an area of approximately 412 square kilometres. The notable

☎ +91 11 42654565  +91 800750030  [email protected]  www.kailash-yatra.org


characteristic of Lake Mansarovar that stands out to be the most discussed one is the
purity of its water considered to be as pure as a sapphire to an extent that each visitor
can easily look at the deeper points of this freshwater lake. Being witnessed as the
most splendid lake in Tibet, one of the prime reasons responsible for its beauty are its
surroundings i.e. the Lake Mansarovar is encompassed by the majestic Himalayan
peaks to the south. It is globally prominent as a ‘spiritual satisfaction facilitator’ for
Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism and the ardent followers of the Tibetan religion of Bön.

The Mansarovar Lake carries a meaning of ‘the invincible lake’ in the Tibetan language
and as notified by the varied religious writings, its name was changed from “Machui
Co” to “Mansarovar” when a competition against the Bon was won by the Buddhists
during the period of 11th century. One shall witness an array of five Buddhist
monasteries dotting the shores of the holy Lake Mansarovar including the majorly
renowned Chiu on the lake’s Northwest shore with the remaining others being
Gossul, Seralung, Yerngo and Trugo. While being indulged in the Kailash Mansarovar
Yatra, thousands of devotees pave their way around the lake that is of about 82
kilometer/51 mile. Known to be the source of Asia’s four greatest rivers named as the
Ghaghara, Brahmaputra, Sutlej and Sindhu- a journey to the pristine Lake Mansarovar
https://www.kailash-yatra.org

is continually proving to be the most religious method of experiencing the inner


satisfaction and also swiping off your sins.

It has been assumed by the Hindus that the divine Lake Mansarovar has been formed
by Lord Brahma with an intention of facilitating a perfect area of letting his sons take
bath after the whole trek of the divine land. On the other hand, as confirmed by the
Buddhists, they entail that the mother of the legendary Buddha was transported at
this place by the gods and she took bath in the holy lake of Mansarovar until her
body was purified.

What is the importance of this greatest
pilgrimage tour?
According to Hinduism, Lord Shiva, the destroyer of ignorance and illusion, resides
at the summit of a legendary mountain named Kailasa or Kailash, where he sits in a
state of perpetual meditation along with his wife Pārvati. Description in the Vishnu
Purana of the mountain states that the four faces of Mount Kailash are made of
crystal, ruby, gold, and lapis lazuli. Mount Kailash is said to be a pillar of the world and
is located at the heart of six mountain ranges symbolizing a lotus.

Jainism, Kailash is also known as Meru Parvat or Sumeru. Ashtapad Tirtha, the
mountain next to Mt. Kailash, is the site where the first Jain Tirthankara Bhagwan
Rishabhadeva attained nirvana/moksa (liberation)

Tantric Buddhists believe that Mount Kailash is the home of the Buddha Demchok
(also known as Demchog or Chakrasamvara), who represents supreme bliss. There are
numerous sites in the region associated with Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava),
whose tantric practices in holy sites around Tibet are credited with finally establishing
Buddhism as the main religion of the country in the 7th–8th century AD. It is said that
Milarepa (c. 1052-c. 1135 AD), champion of Tantric Buddhism, arrived in Tibet to
challenge Naro Bön-chung, champion of the Bön religion of Tibet. The two magicians
https://www.kailash-yatra.org

engaged in a terrifying sorcerers' battle, but neither was able to gain a decisive
advantage. Finally, it was agreed that whoever could reach the summit of Kailash
most rapidly would be the victor. While Naro Bön-chung sat on a magic drum and
soared up the slope, Milarepa's followers were dumbfounded to see him sitting still
and meditating. Yet when Naro Bön-chung was nearly at the top, Milarepa suddenly
moved into action and overtook him by riding on the rays of the sun, thus winning
the contest. He did, however, fling a handful of snow on to the top of a nearby
mountain, since known as Bonri, bequeathing it to the Bonpo and thereby ensuring
continued Bonpo connections with the region

The Bon, a religion which predates Buddhism in Tibet, maintain that the entire
mystical region and the nine-story Swastika Mountain are the seat of all spiritual
power.

Who can travel to Kailash?
Any person who is in good health conditions to undertake travel in high altitude of
5600 meters and above can apply for travel to Holy Mount Kailash and Lake
Mansarovar. The age limit to apply for the permit is 70 years. Issuance of permit
cannot be guaranteed in any case or circumstances because the same is always on
the discretion of the concerned authorities only. It is strictly advisable for every
pilgrim to consult with your doctor and undergo the basic medical tests to ensure
that he/she is fit to travel to such high altitude areas. We require a doctor’s certificate
confirming your fitness to undertake such challenging travel. In the event of non-
receipt of the medical certificate before the commencement of the yatra and/or
sudden change in health of the traveller which does not allow the traveller to take the
trip, we retain the right to cancel your participation in our batch and all payments
shall be non-refundable. A valid passport, Tibet visa and necessary permits are
mandatory for this yatra which can be obtained through an authorized agency only.
Usually foreigners and NRIs get their visa in Kathmandu upon arrival and for Indian
nationals it is mandatory to present the passports to China
Embassy at Delhi along with a copy of the permit to get
necessary group visa. Delay in grant of permit by Tibetan
authority and visa by Chinese Embassy has been a common
issue always and we do not have any control over this.
https://www.kailash-yatra.org

For information, Indian passports can fly to Nepal either


with a valid passport or Indian Voter ID Card. No other
Document is accepted by the immigration at
Indian airports for outbound flights to Nepal.
Please take a note that depending on the
health of the pilgrim and due to adverse
climatic conditions Tibetan authorities
sometime stop people above 60 year age
to undertake parikrama. Such decisions
are totally at the discretion of the
authorities and we do not take any
responsibility for the same.

Organizing Kailash Yatra for pilgrims


https://www.kailash-yatra.org

Organising Kailash Yatra for pilgrims in such a high altitude in Tibetan region with
lack of good services and facilities itself is a challenging job for operators and their
local team. We put our best efforts to ensure that your yatra is completed with less
hassles, lesser discomfort and without any hurdle or delay. But, since this trip is very
unpredictable we do not guarantee that your trip will be without errors or problems.
One should be prepared for tough situations in terms of climate, lack of
infrastructure, shortage of basic needs, unwanted delays and discomfort etc. Trekking
of Mt. Kailash is a challenging task and it requires extraordinary mental and physical
strength. It has been observed that the people of strong will power and extreme
spiritual mentality are the best people to complete this trek with lesser level of
difficulties. If God permits one may have a pleasant and successful journey to Mt.
Kailash.

Risks and difficulties involved in organizing
the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra
Organising travel to Tibet region is difficult itself and the most difficult part of Kailash
Yatra is to get the travel permit (for Kailash Yatra one need a special permit and
group visa). The rules and regulations of the local authorities keep changing quite
frequently. Moreover Tibet is a remote area with very limited availability of services
and one should not expect to receive high level of comfort while travelling to Kailash
Mansarovar and other region in Tibet. It is advisable to read about Kailash Yatra and
guidelines for travelling to Tibet, before you book a trip. Kailash Yatra website
https://www.kailash-yatra.org is a reliable source for this.

Also weather plays a major role in this trip. Sudden changes in weather are very
frequent and is a common factor of this trip which makes the trip tough not only for
the operators but for the travelers as well. Helicopter and flights are most affected
due to weather disturbance. Sudden climatic changes lead to trips delays and
difficulties of getting proper food and clean accommodation which is a common and
unavoidable fact of this trip. One should be prepared for such things. Despite of prior
bookings due to backlog of travelers you may have to adjust with delays and also
https://www.kailash-yatra.org

may have to compromise in the quality and quantity of services which may include
staying in backcountry accommodation, long delays in your onward or return journey
etc.

Altitude sickness is also a very common factor seen in the travellers. Trekking and
kora / parikrama (circumvallation) of Mt Kailash will be challenging and one need to
be prepared for the same. One should practice walking daily in the morning/evening
to become habitual of taking longer walks. Usually 60 years and above age group
pilgrims are not permitted to perform parikrama of Mt. Kailash.

To overcome with difficulties and risks and to make the yatra comfortable one must
make himself/herself aware of the Kailash Mansarovar travel guidelines. Please
contact our office for any clarification or information.

Mt. Kailash Parikrama / Trekking / Kora


The parikrama of Mt. Kailash is made in a clockwise direction. The parikrama of Mount
https://www.kailash-yatra.org

Kailash is about 52 km (32 miles) long out of which about 9 kms is done by vehicle.
Some pilgrims believe that the entire walk around Kailash should be made in a single
day, which is not considered as an easy task. A person in good shape walking fast
would take perhaps 15 hours to complete the trek. Some pilgrims venture a much
more demanding regimen, performing body-length prostrations over the entire
length of the circumambulation the mountain is located in a particularly remote and
inhospitable area of the Tibetan hills. A few modern amenities, such as benches,
resting places and refreshment kiosks, exist to aid the pilgrims in their devotions. It is
a popular belief that the stairways on Mount Kailash lead to heaven. Walking around
the holy mountain has to be done on foot, pony or yak, taking some three days of
trekking starting from a height of around 15,000 ft (4,600 m) past the Tarboche
(flagpole) to cross the Dolma La pass 18,200 ft (5,600 m), and encamping for two
nights en route. First, near the meadow of Dirapuk Gompa and second at Zuthulpukh
after crossing Gauri Kunda.
