"There are no mountains like the
Himalaya, for in them are Kailash and Mansarovar. As the
dew is dried up by the morning Sun, so are the sins of
mankind dried up by the sight of the Himalaya."-

According to
Hinduism, Lord Shiva, the destroyer of evil and sorrow,
resides at the summit of a legendary mountain named
Kailash, where he sits in a state of perpetual
meditation along with his wife Parvati, the daughter of
Himalaya. It is considered as a sacred place in five
religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Ayyavazhi and
the Bön faith. In Hinduism, it is considered to be the
abode of Lord Shiva and as a place of eternal bliss. The
mountain lies near Lake Manasarowar and Lake Rakshastal
in Tibet. To the Hindus, the Himalayas are central to
their cosmology. The peaks are the petals of the Golden
Lotus which lord Vishnu created as a first step in the
formation of the universe. On one of these peaks - Mount
Kailash, The ancient text, Rigveda has a mention of the
Himalayas, their formation and sacredness. The most
sacred peak in the Himalayan range, Mount Kailash, is
said to have been formed 30 million years ago during the
early stages of the formation of the Himalayan chain.
Mount
Kailash is situated in Tibet where it is given the
dignified title of 'Kang Rinpoche' meaning 'Precious
Jewel'. Near Mount Kailash, during the geological shift
in the initial statges of the formation of the Himalayan
mountain chain four rivers arose from the area, flowing
in four different directions : the Indus flowed north,
the Karnali south, the Yarlung Tsangpo flowed east and
Sutlej travelled west.
Stretching
majestically over an extensive cradle of the Tibetan
plateau and hanging at a heavenly height of 4550 mts
(14950 feet). above the sea-level, the vast expanse of
the lake with a circumference of about 88 Kms. and a
depth of nearly 90 mtrs covers an area of about 320 sq.
kms. By far the most magnificent and thrilling of one's
experience would be in winter when the whole lake
freezes hard, and again in spring when the ice breaks
and melts to clear blue waters. It is only the inspired
poet or the divine artist with his magic colours that
can, for instance, describe and represent adequately the
beauty and grandeur of sunrise and sunset on the lake.
The water of Mansarovar is as sweet as that of any river
or of any glacial lake. Nepal Visitors provides
fine caves, camping ground and good sites to pilgrims.
At certain places the site is rocky or sandy. On full
moon nights, with the full moon overhead, the scene is
simply indescribable.
At sunset the whole of the Kailas range on the north
becomes a fiery region all of a sudden, throwing an
observer into a trance, and by the time he returns to
consciousness he sees only the Silvery Peak in front.
The weather is always uncertain. One moment you have
scorching Sun, the next moment it begins to hail and
snow and shortly after having a nap and coming out of
your camp, you will see a clear blue sky and bright Sun
above and a bed of pearl-like hail and white snow on the
ground. Mt. Kailash, 6,740 m. is situated to the north
of the Himalayan barrier, wholly within Tibet. The
world-famous and holy Mt. Kailash & Manas Lake have
been, the source of inspiration for many religions and
beliefs. Despite many difficulties and long distances,
people are keen to go there at least once in their
lives. Continued from centuries, this pilgrimage had
been stopped from 1959 to 1980, and when it restarted in
1981 it was welcomed everywhere. It is the perfect
mountain with awesome beauty, with 4 great faces. Every
year, thousands make a pilgrimage to Kailash, following
a tradition going back thousands of years. Pilgrims of
several religions believe that circumambulating Mount
Kailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring good
fortune. The peregrination is made in a clockwise
direction by Hindus and Buddhists. Followers of the Jain
and Bönpo religions circumambulate the mountain in a
counterclockwise direction. The path around Mount
Kailash is 52 km (32 mi) long. Although main focus of
this trek is Mount Kailash in Tibet, the journey through
Nepal's border with Tibet at Zhangmu, Saga and Paryang
to Darchen is culturally and scenically rewarding.
