Pilgrimage to Mt.Kailash & Manasarovar Yatra: 14 Days
For centuries this snow capped mountain in Western Tibet has been revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike as the Throne of the Gods and the mystical centre of the universe. Two lakes, Manasarovar and Rakastal, lie at the southern foot of Mr.Kailash. Ritual bathing in the lakes is performed to wash sins.
According to the Hindus Mythology, Lord Shiva spends his most of the time on the top of the holy Mount Kailash, practicing Yogic austerities, joy and love with his divine consort Parbati (Mother of Mythology). The Lake Mansarovar and the holy Mount Kailash are the SOUL of all AUM followers in the world. "Conventional wisdom says a single circuit of Mt. Kailash wipes out the sins of a lifetime, 108 Parikramas guarantees enlightenment. A ritual bath in the sacred Mansarovar Lake delivers pilgrim to Brahma's paradise and a drop drink of its water relinquishes the sins of hundred of lifetimes."
