| Kailash Manasarovar Yatra
Duration : 17 days
Situated in the southwestern part of Tibet bordering the Kumaon hills and Nepal, is Mount Kailash. It is supremely sacred mountain, cosmology connected with Mount Meru, the great Mythological Mountain that forms the axis of the world system. Being a central watershed of Asia, it has always been the most sacred of mountains for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bons. Conventional wisdom says a single circuit of Mt. Kailash wipes out the sins of lifetime, 108 guarantees enlightenment. A ritual bath in the sacred Manasarowar lake will deliver a pilgrim to Brahma's paradise and a drop drink of its water relinquishes the sins of hundred of lifetimes.
