Simikot Kailash & Lhasa |
This journey combines the best of all our Kailash offerings as well as giving
you time to fully explore Tibet's famed capital Lhasa. To begin we trek from the
remote Humla region of Nepal, across the Tibetan border to visit Lake
Manasarovar, before completing a Kora around Mr. Kailash. We then drive across
the strikingly arid panoramas of the Tibetan Plateau to Lhasa where we spend 3
days exploring the sights of this fascination city, before returning to
Kathmandu. This is truly the trip of a lifetime with its remote trekking,
stunning scenery and cultural highlights.
In the far west of Tibet is Mt Kailash, the most sacred mountain in Asia, which
is venerated by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and the ancient Bon religion of Tibet.
From it flow four great rivers - the Karnali, the Indus, the Sutlej and the
Brahmaputra - which drain the vast Tibetan Plateau. It is an important site for
Tibetan and Indian pilgrims who make a 53km circuit, or kora, of the mountain.
This circumambulation, clockwise for Buddhists and Hindus and anti-clockwise for
Bon followers, is said to erase the sins of a lifetime. The mountain itself is
6714m high and with its four sheer walls and snow capped peak is an
awe-inspiring sight.
Only 30km from Mt Kailash is another important pilgrimage site, the beautiful
and serene Lake Manasarovar. According to mythology it was formed in the mind of
Brahma, and Indian and Tibetan pilgrims can also be seen circumambulating this
lake, a distance of 90km.
On this trip, we fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa, and spend 3 days visiting the
wonderful sights of this fascinating city. We then drive across the wide open
spaces of the Tibetan Plateau to Lake Manasarovar, before completing a kora
around Mt Kailash. From there, we re-cross the vast arid plains before heading
south to the Nepalese border and returning to Kathmandu. This is truly the trip
of a lifetime with stunning scenery and cultural highlights.
