Mount Kailash (6,714m/22,028ft) is considered as the most sacred and holy mountain in the world. This is also an adventure travel into the remote Himalayan destination of Tibet. Mount Kailash and Manasarovar trek is a popular trip among Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Lake Manasarovar is also the abode of purity like Mount Kailash.
Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar attract Hindus from all over the world for their religious value. People have a belief that taking a dip in the Lake Manasarovar and drinking its water will cleanse all sins committed over a lifetime. Hindu pilgrims who trek around the 32 mile circumference of Mount Kailash use the term ‘Parikrama’ while the Tibetans refer to the clockwise circumambulation as ‘Kora’.
The circumference starts and finishes at Darchen (4,560m/14,961ft), a small settlement serving as the base camp to the holy mountain. The highest point en-route around Mount Kailash is Drolma La Pass (5,630m/18,472ft). During the trek, there are great views of Tibet’s high mountains including Mt. Shishapangma (8,012m/26,287ft).
