Overview

The Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar are the holiest of the several pilgrim places situated in the Himalayas and lie in the western part of Tibet (China). A great mass of black rock soaring to over 22,000 feet (6714 meter), Mt. Kailash has the unique distinction of being the world’s most venerated holy place. It is the supremely sacred site for many religious people.
Hindus believe Mount Kailash as the abode of Lord Shiva. According to legend, immortal Shiva lives at the top of Mt. Kailash where he spends his time practicing yogic austerities and making joyous love with HIS divine consort, Parvati. For Hindus, it is considered to be one of the holiest and the most important TirthSthals among all.

Down jacket, raincoat or windbreakers, thermal under wears, Jackets, warm trousers & woolen shirts (cotton will also do), warm sweaters, woolen gloves, sun hat, comfortable shoes, light leather boots in case of snow, woolen balaclava ('monkey cap') & scarf/dust mask to protect your eyes & nose from dust.

This can take a couple of days or more depending on an individual. For this reason alone, we have made it mandatory to stay 2 Nights at Purang (3700 M) and 1 Night at Mansarovar (4590M) moving on to the higher altitudes. Drink plenty of water, be calm, and do not exercise. Do not drink alcohol or smoke prior to and during the tour. We also recommend you to carry a strip of diamox tablets. We provide Gamow bag (a special equipment to prevent sickness from high altitude) on this tour.
