Kailash Mansarovar
Tibet (via Nepal)A sacred pilgrimage around Mount Kailash — the axis of the world for four faiths — including the 52 km Parikrama and the puja at holy Lake Mansarovar.
Mount Kailash (Kang Rinpoche), a towering peak in the remote Tibetan Himalaya, is not only one of the most majestic mountains on earth but also one of the most sacred. Dominating the landscape at 6,638 metres, its pristine beauty draws pilgrims and adventurers alike.
For centuries, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bon followers have revered Mount Kailash as the spiritual epicentre of their faiths. The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra takes pilgrims on the 52 km circumambulation — the "Parikrama" or "Kora" — around the base of the mountain, a journey believed to cleanse and bring spiritual enlightenment.
