A
pilgrimage to Mt. Kailash, the sacred mountain of Tibet
is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists. Mt Kaliash is
the source of four great asian rivers. For Hindus it is
the throne of Shiva, for Buddhists, a gigantic natural
Mandala. Also the epicenter of Tantric forces for both
religions. This trek takes you from the far western town
of Simikot, along an old trade route into Tibet. An
arid, wild, country dominated by the peaks of Api and
Saipal Himal, this is the world of the Nepalese and
Tibetan traders. You will encounter travelers with
horses and yaks laden with goods. After a few days trek
on the Nepal side we take you to Tibetan border market
Purang where Nepalese, Tibetan and Indian traders meet
to exchange wares. The highlight of the trip is to visit
Rakshastal (Devil Lake), the holy Lake of Mansarovar,
"born from the mind of Bramha", trek around the Mt.
Kailash and visit the former Gu-ge kingdom with its two
main centres of Toling and Tsaparang.
