Pilgrimage
to Manssarovar and the Holy Mt. Kailash 18 Days
Zhangmu to Zhangmu |
Mt. Kailash claimed to the
apex of the Hindu religious axis is also one of
the highest mountain in Tibet at 22,022 feet and
Lake Mansarovar at 14,950 feet is said to be the
highest fresh water lake in the world. Certainly
a difficult region to reach due to the variable
and extreme weather conditions. The distance from
Lhasa for example approximately 2000 Km. Only
during the last few years have lots of ordinary
and not so ordinary travelers, been able to experience
this region. Road conditions are difficult much |
|
of the time and
we have to make much preparation to ensure that
we have a reasonable chance of reaching Kailash.
We need to bring our own food and camping equipment.
As per Chinese regulations, transportation ( 4WD
jeep) and a Chinese/Tibetan guide is a must to
hire from China/Tibet whereas we will send Nepalese
staff for camping and cooking arrangement. All
the camping/kitchen gears and food supplies will
be brought along from Nepal. The Nepalese kitchen
crew will prepare the food of your taste. |
To travel for
days on this remote plateau with the chance encounters
of nomads herding their sheep or yaks is to be
transformed into another way of life, to see and
become apart of such a devout pilgrimage as shown
by pilgrims around Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar
is to put some aspects of our western way of life
into proper perspective. |
We begin the
tour by traveling to Kathmandu and departing by
road to the Nepal/Tibet border town of Zhangmu
where we collect our Transport. We travel by the
SOUTHERN route and after our pilgrimage (religious
secular) we return by the same route. The day
