Lake Mansarover and Mount Kailsh is nestled in the south western corner of the majestic Trans Himalayas of Tibet.

The serene Lake Mansarovar is a grand marvel of nature and aptly named “Jewel of Tibet”. The lake is not only reverred in Hinduism but is also of great value in Jainism, Bon and Buddhism. In accordance to many hindu scriptures, it is believed that the lake was first created in the mind of the Lord Brahma after which it manifested on Earth. In Hinduism, Lake Manasarovar is a personification of purity, and one who drinks water from the lake will go to the abode of Shiva after death.

Likewise the maginificient Mount Kailash standing at an astounding height of 6,638 m (21,778 ft.) above sea level also holds an immense significane in Hinduism. It is recognized as the abode of Shiva, who resided there along with his consort goddess Parvati and their children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. A single circumambulation (Parikrama/Kora) of the Mount Kailash is believed to brighten lives and wipe the sins of a lifetime. It emancipates all from the vicious and continous cycle of the births and the deaths consequently entering into the Brahma`s paradise.

"It is believed that a single circumambulation of Mt. Kailash wipes out the sins of a lifetime, 108 Parikramas guarantees enlightenment. A ritual bath in the sacred Manasarovar Lake will deliver a pilgrim to Brahma's paradise and a drop drink of its water relinquishes the sins of a hundred lifetimes."

The Journey to the Holy Mount Kailash and Sacred Lake Mansarovar is a life changing experience, that will take you through the Great Himalayas Ranges, tranquil and parched Himalayan Plateaus with swirling pathways. Upon completing the journey to this secluded, timeless and amaranthine abode one is bound to feel like a journey within oneself.
