Tibet Tour
Mount Kailash and Manasarovar Tour (16 days)
Trip Difficulty:
Grade 4
Mt. Kailash is striking in the way it rises high above the surrounding range and always remains snow-capped, thus its name in Tibetan "Gang Rinpoche", which means "supreme mountain". Traditional Buddhist cosmology has often connected Kailash with Mt. Meru, the great mythological mountain that forms the axis of this world system. The power of this strange, domed peak has gripped the imagination of the people of Nepal, India and Tibet since thousands of years and more peoples from all over the world are willing to see it in reality.
This is one of the best tours for those of time conscious people. You will have extra benefit to visit Tirthapuri at the same time.
