Know About Kailash Manasarovar Yatra

A trip to holy mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar is organized under tough climatic conditions and

extreme inhospitable terrain. It is a spiritual adventure travel to the remote mountains lands of Tibetan

Autonomous Region (TAR). Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar are the holiest pilgrim sites for the

followers of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Bon religions. Please consider that due to its high altitude

travel (above 5600 mtrs), tough climatic conditions, lack of infrastructure and facilities, Kailash

Mansarovar Yatra is also considered as one of the most difficult treks of Asia. Despite of its all difficulties

and challenges it is a soul inspiring journey for the followers of different religions. Kailash Manasarovar

attracts thousands of pilgrims from across the globe every year for inner healing. Max Holidays organise

groups to Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar every year by Deluxe Buses, Land Cruiser and Helicopters.

The start points of Kailash Manasarovar Yatra are Kathmandu (Nepal), Nepalganj (Nepal border near

Lucknow) or Lhasa (Tibet) and we offer various tour itineraries to meet with your requirements. Please

visit www.kailash-yatra.org or www.maxholidays.com/kailash-yatra.html to know more about such trips.

Where is Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar? »

Mount Kailash is a peak in the Gangdisê Mountains, which forms part of the Transhimalaya in Tibet. It is

situated near the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia including the Indus River, the Sutlej River (a

major tributary of the Indus River), the Brahmaputra River, and the Karnali River (a tributary of the River

Ganga). It is considered a sacred place in four religions Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Bon. Situated

near Mount Kailash (22,000 feet) are the Lake Manasarovar (Lake of Compassion) and Lake Rakshastal

Da o s Lake in Tibet Autonomous Region.

Lake Manasarovar (also Manas Sarovar or Mapam Yumko) is a freshwater lake in the Tibet Autonomous

Region, China, 940 kilometres (580 miles) from Lhasa, the capital town of Tibet. It is situated at an

elevation of about 4,590 mtrs (15,060 ft) above sea level, a relatively high elevation for such a large

freshwater lake on the mostly saline lake-studded Tibetan Plateau. Lake Manasarovar is relatively round

in shaped with the circumference of 88 kilometres (55 miles). Its depth reaches a maximum depth of 90

m (300 ft) and its surface area is 320 square kilometres (120 sq mi). Lake Manasarovar is near the source

of the Sutlej, which is the easternmost large tributary of the Indus. Nearby are the sources of the

Brahmaputra River, the Indus River, and the Ghaghara, an important tributary of the Ganges. It is

considered that taking a dip in this lake washes the sins of the lifetime.

What is the importance of this spiritual trip? »

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 ife Pār ati. Des riptio i the Vish u Pura a of the ou tai 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.

In Jainism, Kailash is also known as Meru Parvat or Sumeru. Ashtapada, the mountain next to Mt. Kailash,

is the site where the first Jain Tirthankara, 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 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 mtrs and above

can travel to Holy Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. The age limit is 70 years but sometimes we are

able to get permit for people upto 75 year of age depending on his/her fitness and consideration of the

concerned authorities. 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

KAILASH

MANASAROVAR


Helpline : +91 8800750030

Landline : +91 11 40504050





(India)

travel to such high altitude areas. We require a do tor s ertifi ate 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 traveler which does not allow the traveler 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 in Delhi

alongwith a copy of the permit to get necessary visa. In the event of delay in grant of Visa from Embassy

and non-receipt of the passport, Indian Nationals can fly to Nepal with their photo Identity Card (Voter ID

Card). 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 of the

same.

Important remark: Kailash Mansarovar trips are full of uncertainties due to political, diplomatic, natural and many other reasons. Rules and

policies of China Govt and other concerned authorities changes suddenly and quite frequently for Kailash Mansarovar travel for political, natural

and diplomatic reasons etc. We as an operator do not have any hold or command over such changes and we and/or the travelers are bound to

follow such rules/policies. We shall keep you informed for any such change/s. Any additional expenses incurred on traveler due to such sudden

changes shall be payable by the traveler and any inconvenience caused to the traveler due to such changes will not be the responsibility of Max

Holidays. Kindly consider the uncertain nature of Kailash trips before booking a trip for you.

Organizing Kailash Yatra for pilgrims »

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.

Important remark: It is advised that while traveling to Kailash Mansarovar (especially through heli route) one must keep their return date

flexible and should avoid fixing any urgent appointment or important job near to the return date. In Kailash Mansarovar trips (especially in the

helicopter tours) delay in onward or return journey is an obvious factor if the weather is not favourable for flights and helicopters or if there is

any nature disturbance or technical problem. Please chose a date keeping in mind such unexpected delays in the trip.

Risks and difficulties involved in organizing the 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 Manasarovar and other region in Tibet. It is advisable to read about Kailash Yatra and guidelines

for travelling to Tibet, before you book a trip.

Also natural disasters and sudden changes in weather are very frequent and a common factor which

makes the trip tough for us and for the travelers as well. Helicopter and flights are most affected due to

bad weather conditions and sudden climatic changes leading to difficulties of getting proper food and

clean accommodation are quite a common thing. One should be prepared for this. Sometimes you may

have to stay in backcountry accommodation which may not be comfortable.

High altitude sickness is also a very common factor seen in the travelers. 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.

To overcome with difficulties and risks and to make the yatra comfortable one must make himself/herself

aware of the Kailash Manasarovar travel guidelines. Please contact our office for any clarification or

information.

About Mt. Kailash Parikrama (Kora) »

The parikrama of Mt. Kailash is made in a clockwise direction. The parikrama of Mount 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
