Mt.
Kailash - Manasarovar Lake Tour Package for 2007
Tour Duration:
15 nights / 16 days
|
| |
Mt. Kailash (6714 m) - one of the
popular mountain peak of Tibet, which is also known
by the name of Tise, Kailash or Kang Rinpoche (Jewel
of the Snows) has since time immemorial been celebrated
in many eastern cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis-mundi.
Mt.Meru (Kailash) is sacred to the hindus, the buddhists,
the Jains, & the Bonpos, taken as the center of
the physical & metaphysical universe. For the
Hindus, the mountain represents the seat of Shiva.
For the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection of the
cosmic mandala of Dyani Buddhas & Boddhisatvas....the
Wheel of Life.
For the devout pilgrim a visit to
Mt. Kailash & Lake Manasarovar forms the ultimate
realization of their spiritual pursuit. And for the
adventure-lovers it offers rugged beauty, remoteness
and solitude. The May tour to Kailash during the annual
gives the opportunity to face Buddhist festival of
Saga Dawa while most of the other trips are planned
to arrive at Mt. Kailash during the full moon period
to give all participants a rare experience. A journey
can truly called as `once-in-a-lifetime.'
The tour offers rigorous overland
driving, trekking and camping, passing the remote
and wild western Tibet, in altitudes between 2,745m/9,000ft
and 4,880m / 16,000ft and hiking to a maximum of 5600m
/ 18,400ft.
