KAILASH MANSAROVARa journey within

Our beloved Shree Radha Raman Dev who

self manifested under the same PIPAL tree

where Shree Krishna disappeared from

Shree Radha Rani during Raas (divine dance)

about 4500 years ago. How sublime is HIS

play that the Lord reappeared in that very

spot to end the separation of his beloved and

devotees. He is the Lord of Love and is the

wealth that resides in his devotees heart.

Popularly called PRAN DHAN SHREE RADHA

RAMAN JI.

It is with HIS blessings and divine grace that

we commence our HariHar Yatra, carrying

him in our heart to meet our beloved Bhole

Baba in Kailash so they both reside in our

souls forever.

DAY 68th July 2017

After early morning breakfast, the whole group proceeds to Yam Dwar (2hrs drive) to get a final glimpse of Mt. Kailash for those returning to Delhi because at this point the group will be divided into 2 subgroups.

Those returning home will be driven to Darchen (45mins) and will spend the night in Himalaya Kailash Hotel, Darchen

Those continuing for the Parikrama will proceed for the first of the three day Parikrama. The trek starting point is called Tarboche or outer Asthapath. The first day of the ‘Kora’ or Parikrama is a gradual walk of about 6hrs with multitudes of other pilgrims chanting and praying.

The trail leads the pilgrims through few ups and downs until they end the first day’s trek and set up camp at Diraphuk from where the most magnificent North face of Kailash is visible. This is the closest view one can get of Holy Mt.Kailash on the outer kora.

DAY 79th July 2017

Those returning to Delhi, will leave very early from Darchen, drive to Ali (3.5hrs) and take a flight to Lhasa (90mins flying time)

Due to no onward connections from Lhasa that day, one night stay at St. Regis, Lhasa is mandatory. Luggage left behind will be received at this point.

Those doing the Parikrama will proceed for the second day of the Kora after an early morning breakfast. This day’s trek will lead everyone to a much higher side of the holy path, just beneath the holy Mt. Kailash. After a footbridge and a rocky trail leading upwards, one will find the peak of Mt. Kailash rise up on the right. This is the top edge of the glacial valet from where the Lha Chu or ‘Divine River’ flows.

This day is no doubt the most arduous yet gratifying day of the pilgrimage. The climax of this holy journey is when one reaches the Dolma La Pass at 5700 mts or 18,000ft above sea level. Here pilgrims leave a memento of themselves and their loved ones- a lock of hair, tooth, clothes or even a photograph!

After 30mins from Dolma La, everyone descends a steep path to the valley below from where ‘Gauri Kund’ is visible. The only way down is a steep staircase which requires jumping from boulder to boulder to reach the valley floor.

From the valley floor, it is still about 5hrs to the day’s destination without any shelter in between. The path now becomes pleasant (weather permitting) strewn with grassy fields and clear brooks, merging with another valley before reaching Zuthulphuk, the Miracle Cave of Milarepa.

Night camp set up at Zuthulphuk

The rest of the group will complete the last day of their Parikrama.

The morning can be spent exploring caves and visiting the temples and shrine that has been built around Milarepa’s cave. It is well worth the climb to explore these caves before beginning the final stage of the trek.

The winding gradual tracks finally end the Holy Pilgrimage (around 4-5hrs)

At the end of the trek, eco friendly buses will be waiting to drive everyone to Darchen (90mins)

Night will be spent in Himalaya Kailash Hotel, Darchen.

When the earth of Mansarovar touches anyone’s body, or when anyone bathes

in the lake, he shall go to the Paradise of Brahma, and he who drinks its waters

shall go to the heaven of Shiva and shall be released from the sins of 108 births.

Even the beast who bears the name of Mansarovar shall go to the Paradise of

Brahma. It’s waters are like pearls.
