Kailash Trip

Mount Kailash, also known as Kailash Parvat, is revered as the spiritual center of the world. Alongside Mt. Kailash, Lake Manasarovar is considered a pinnacle of purity, attracting pilgrims from various religions.
Mt. Kailash, with its iconic peak, and Lake Manasarovar, a stunning lake in the Tibetan mountains, are profound symbols of spirituality and natural beauty. The word ‘manas’ means mind, and ‘sarovar’ refers to a holy lake, thus Lake Manasarovar is also known as the Lake of Consciousness. This sacred lake is especially captivating during the full moon, spanning an area with an 88-km circumference. The site holds significant religious importance for Hindus, Buddhists, Tibetan animists, and Jains. Bathing in Lake Manasarovar is believed to cleanse all sins accumulated over a lifetime.
Kailash Peak, at an elevation of 22,022 ft, and Lake Manasarovar, at 14,954 ft, epitomize pristine beauty and tranquility. These locations offer breathtaking views and a profound sense of unity with Shiva. The best time to visit Mount Kailash is from May to September.
