Mount Kailash Trek

Trip Overview

A pilgrimage to Mt. Kailash the sacred mountain of Tibet is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhist. Mt. Kailash is the source of four great asian rivers. For Hindus it is the throne of lord Shiva, for Buddhist, a gigantic natural Mandala. Also the epicenter of Tantric forces for both religions. This trek takes you from the far western town of Simikot, along an old trade route into Tibet. An arid, wild, country dominated by the peaks of Api and Saipal himal, this is the world of the Nepalese and Tibetan traders. You will encounter travelers with horses and yaks laden with goods. After a few days trek on the Nepal side we take you to the Tibetan border market Purang where Nepalese, Tibetan and Indian traders meet to exchange wares. The highlight of the trip is to visit Rakshastal (Devil Lake), the holy lake of Mansarover, “born from the mind of brahma”, trek around the Mt. Kailash and visit the former Gu-ge kingdom with its two main centers of Toling and Tsaparang.
