The
adventure begins with the drive across
the Himalaya, then east across
the plains of Tibet to Holy Lake
Manasarovar. Here you will join
the throngs of pilgrims, who
for centuries have converged on this
remote southwestern corner of Tibet
to circumambulate the sacred Mount
Kailash. Kailash is considered to
be the center of the universe by Hindus,
Tibetan Buddhists, and the Bons
alike. Ancient cosmography identifies
Kailash with the mighty mountain
Sumeru, the central peak of the
world. To Buddhist, the Father
Mountain represents the means
to enlightenment. Lake Manasarovar,
just below Kailash is the mother
principle representing transcendental
consciousness. Hindus consider Kailash
to be the throne of Lord Shiva,
one of the three principle gods of the
Hindu pantheon, whose long, matted hair
forms the holy Ganges River.
As a Bon center, Kailash it is
the soul of the country and assures
protection for all Tibetans. The fountainhead
of four major Asian rivers (Sutlej,
Brahmaputra, Ganges, and the Indus),
few mountains rival Kailash for its
mystique, isolation and prominence.
For 3 days, you will walk with pilgrims
around this almost perfectly symmetrical
mountain. Your trek/tour pioneered by
takes you into the heart of Nepal
and Tibet. Few trekkers have walked
these trials, unchanged over the ages.
Encounters with the herders, pilgrims,
and the local people will be lively
and make for precious memonts. The flight
from the Kathmandu airport takes
you directly to your destination, from
where you catch a connecting flight
or train to home and the end of the
unique adventure in the far reaches
of the Himalayan with memories
to last a lifetime.
