Mount
Kailash - The abode of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati
: Mt. Kailash is claimed to be the apex of the Hindu
religious axis, is also one of the holist mountains
in Tibet . Lord Shiva resides in Kailash among the peaceful
Himalayas. A mythological story says that Lord Shiva
once built a house for himself but gave it away to a
devotee who asked for it. Thus without changing his
residence he settled in the mountain of Kailash. This
is his abode where he stays with his whole family including
his wife Goddess Parvati and children Lord Ganesha and
Lord Kartikiya and the other Shiv Ganas (group of Shiva
Devotees) like Nandi and others. According to ancient
religious texts, the abode of Lord Vishnu is called
Vaikuntha, the abode of Lord Bhrama is called Bhramaloka
and the abode of Lord Shiva is called Kailash. Of the
three, one can only go bodily and return in this life
from Kailash having experienced divinity. The Hindus,
buddhist and Jains all alike travel to this place as
pilgrims. A journey to Kailash mansarovar is considered
as once in a lifetime achievement.

“I may say from
personal experience, that the environments of Mount
Kailash are such to liberate one's mind immediately
from one's mundane worries and cares and raise it to
a wonderful, painless and sorrow less world, fit for
gods alone..."

Mt. Kailash – Mansarovar Yatra
by Helicopter - 12 days
a journey
to the heavens ... |
This Kailash and Mansarovar tour is
designed to all the pious pilgrims ( yatris) who cross
oceans and continents in order
to have a glimpse of the abode of Lord Shiva.
|
Holy Mount Kailash is one
of the most popular ultimate Hindu pilgrimage sites in Himalayan
region dedicated to Lord Shiva where every devotee wants
to go. Mount Kailash, which is believed to have been formed
30 million years ago when Himalayas were in their early
stage of formation, is one of the most revered
places in the Himalayas.
Mansarovar and Mt. Kailash are two of the holiest pilgrimage
areas to devotees of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Bonism
and many other faiths. Each year thousands of devotees undertake
the treacherous and rigorous journey through the mountains
and plains of Nepal and China ( Tibet) to reach this sacred
land.
Mt. Kailash, 6,740 mtr. high peak is situated to the north
of the Himalayan barrier, wholly within Tibet. It is the
perfect mountain with awesome beauty, with four great faces.
It is the spiritual centre for four great religions: Tibetan
Buddhism, Hinduism, the Jain religion and the pre-Buddhist
animistic religion - Bonpo. For the Hindus Mount Kailash
is the earthly manifestation of Mt. Meru, their spiritual
centre of the universe, described as a fantastic 'world
pillar' 84,000 miles high, around which all else revolves,
its roots in the lowest hell and its summit kissing the
heavens. On the top live their most revered God, Shiva,
and his consort Parvati. For the Jains, an Indian religious
group, Kailash is the site where their first prophet achieved
enlightenment. For the older, more ancient religion of Bon,
it is the site where its founder Shanrab is said to have
descended from heaven.
Spread out on the Tibetan plateau beside Mount Kailash is
the giant lake of shifting colors - Lake Mansarovar. Brahma,
the creator, had a mind (‘Man’) for the creation
of a lake (‘Sarovar’), hence its name ( Mansarovar).
A pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and a bath in the Mansarovar
is believed to bring about salvation (Moksha) and washed
away all the sins of life. Over the centuries pilgrims have
constantly journeyed immense distances to achieve enlightenment
or cleanse themselves of sin, braving enormous distances,
particularly harsh weather and bandit attacks. People have
been visiting Kailash - Mansarovar for centuries. It used
to be very hard journey in the past; today we (Earthbound
Expeditions) can bring you there with help of Landcrusiors
via Kathmandu. So it is lot easy to reach to the heaven
now!
"We do not Experiment, We Excel
with Experience" : We have
leadres that have been to Kailash over 7 times, the trip
planner Mr. Rajan have been to Kailash over 14 times in
last 7 years, please hear from
our clients who have been to Kailash - mansarovar tour with
us and how much they enjoyed it with us.
Many agents claim that they run Kailash trip and in cheap
price, but the fact is that only few companies deal directly
with Tibet agent and have experience of running Kailash
trip. Please consult well and ask many questions before
you book the trip so you are charged properly and treated
well. So called big companies sometimes don't pay good attention
to their clients. You need really good care to complete
this Yatra. If you have own group of 6 or more person for
kailash tour we may able to give smalll discount for group
leader.

of Lord Muktinath lies in the district of Mustang
and is situated about 18 kms northeast of Jomsom at
an altitude of about 3800 meter. The main shrine is
a pagoda shaped temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Sets
into the wall around it are 108 waterspouts from which
pour holy water. The temple is situated on a high
mountain range and is visited during fair weather.
There are two ways to get to Muktinath from either
take a flight from Pokhara to Jomsom and hike for
7-8 hours from Jomsom or trek all the way from Pokhara
through Kali-Gandaki valley, which takes 7/8 days.
It is believed that one should visit this temple after
competing pilgrimage of four special religious sites
