Package Overview

Kailash Overland Tour at 6,740 meters, situated to the north of the Himalayan barrier, wholly within Tibet. In ancient texts, it is referred as the center of the world. The reason can be understood from the geographical significance of its place: within 30 miles radius, are the sources of mighty rivers Indus (north called "Sindhu" in India), Sutlej (in west), Brahmaputra (Yarlung Tsang-po in east), and Karnali (largest tributary to the Ganges in south). Mt. Kailash has four great faces, which promises one of the best mountain scenery. However, apart from the scenic beauty, it is also the spiritual centre for four prominent religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and a pre-buddhist animistic religion-Bonpo.

Hindus regard the peak as Shiva's symbolic 'Lingam' and worship Mt Kailash, which is the Sanskrit name for the mountain. Bonpos believe the sacred mountain to be the place where the founder of the Bon religion landed when he descended from the sky. Tibetan Buddhists believe Kang Rinpoche, which means Precious Snow Mountain, is a natural maṇḍala representing the Buddhist cosmology on the earth and the Jains believe this is the place where their religion's founder was spiritually awakened. Thus, every year thousands of pilgrims flock to Mt. Kailash from immense distances to achieve enlightenment and cleanse themselves from sins, braving harsh weather and possible bandit attacks.

The main attraction of the mountain is the pilgrimage circuit around the mountain. It normally takes 3 days and should only be undertaken by the well-prepared and fit.
