Destination Nepal to Mt.
Kailash
- Western Tibet |
Mt.
Kailash (6714 m) - also known as Tise, Kailasa
or Kang Rinpoche (Jewel of the Snows) has since
time immemorial been celebrated in many eastern
cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis-mundi. As
the center of the physical & metaphysical
universe, Mt. Meru (Kailash) is sacred to the
Hindus, the Buddhists, the Jains, and the Bonpos.
For the Hindus, the mountain represents the
seat of Shiva. For the Buddhists, a terrestrial
projection of the cosmic mandala of the Dyani
Buddhas & Boddhisatvas .… The Wheel
of Life.
For
the devout pilgrim a visit to Mt. Kailash &
Lake Mansorovar forms the ultimate realization
of their spiritual pursuit. And for the adventure-lovers
it offers rugged beauty, remoteness and solitude.
The June tour visits Kailash during the annual
Buddhist festival of Saga Dawa while most of
the other trips are planned to arrive at Mt.
Kailash during the full moon period to give
all participants a rare experience. A journey
rightly called `once-in-a-lifetime'.
We
are the leading & pioneer Tibet tour operator
equipped with experienced man power, contacts
and resources to handle all the logistics of
such a tour. Our support staffs are strong,
hardy Sherpas who have been several times to
Mt. Kailash and have a reputation of hospitality
that is now an established legend. We welcome

of being at Mt. Kailash & Lake Manasorovar
with us.
