Mt. Kailah & Man Sarobar Lake
Merger of the two great culture and civilizations
A DREAM DESTINATION
It is a great adventure in history, in landscape and in the faiths of Asia. In the heart of the highest mountains on earth, Mount Kailash rises to an altitude of 6,714 metres, and is one of the most elegant and entrancing peaks in Tibet. For the traveller, this is a dream destination, almost inaccessible until just a few decades ago because of bad roads, political prohibitions, and the presence of bandits. But no Westerner has ever felt lonely in the area around Mount Kailash.
The
Kailash "Gang Rinpoche", which means "Jewel of snow" is striking in
the way it rises high above the surrounding range and always remains
snow - capped. Traditional Buddhist cosmology has often connected
Kailash with Mount Meru, the great mythological mountain that forms
the axis of this world system. Because of its religious
associations, many Hindu and Buddhist ascetics, hermits and pilgrims
have been drawn to the area of the mountain for the past two
thousand years or so to see it, offer prayers, absolve sins,
circumambulate it and to practice austerities and meditation. South
of Mount Kailash, across the base of the majestic Mount Gurla
Mandhata, are the two lakes Mansarovar and Rakkshas Tal (lake). They
are the highest bodies of fresh water in the world, with Manasarovar
(330 sq. km), at 4,558 meters, about fifteen meters higher than
Rakshas Tal. Manasarovar considered by Buddhist and Hindus to be
more worthy of veneration. Buddhist believe that Queen Maya, the
Buddha's mother was carried here by the gods and washed prior to
giving birth to the Buddha
