Every Living being is acquired with the different way to show their devotion to the creator. Though different religion have different name of their god whom they worship their ultimate faith is on the existence of the creator of this world. Mount Kailash and Manasarovar is regarded is the most sacred land in his earth. Hindu believes it as the abode of lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Whereas Buddhist worship this place as the place where Lord Buddha Meditated and resided once. It is believed that the founders of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism and Bonpo religion once meditated and resided in this region. That's why thousands of devotees from across the world pour into this region to have the divine view around.
Situated in the autonomous region of China, Tibet, this is one of the popular pilgrimage destinations for pilgrims. It is believed that completing the pilgrimage to this region is to obtain release from the clutches of vices of life. The diverse landscape, flora and fauna attract the adventure lovers to venture into the Kailash region. The bulky Black peak, situated at an elevation of 6714 meters, is taken as the symbol of good luck. Circumambulating Kailash region is the best way to earn good merits and blessings from god and goddess as one is believed to obtain Nirvana.
Manasarovar Lake: The extremely beautiful emerald water Lake Manasarovar (4580m.) nearby sacred Mount Kailash is another important pilgrimage destination for the pilgrims. There are eight different monasteries around the shore of this lake which multiplies its beauty and holiness. The name of this Lake is derived from Sanskrit which means the Lake of consciousness. Great saints, monks, and priests are believed to have been meditating nearby this Lake. Shakyamuni (Lord Buddha) also got enlightenment nearby this lake. That’s why Buddhist and Hindus from across the globe come to see this mysterious Lake. Circumambulating the 90km periphery 108 times is regarded as the path towards Heaven after death.
Drinking water from this lake can purge one's soul from sins and physical bodies from diseases as per ancient scriptures.
Moreover, taking holy bath in the cold water of this lake is obtaining Ultimate Salvation, Mokshya (escape from the chain of this physical life). But it is not easy to rotate this gigantic lake as it takes 3 full days for locals and 5-7 days for the adventure lovers campaigning at the shore of this lake. But the divine view of the devotees worshipping, beautiful simmering water under the blue sky compensates our tiredness. Rakshas Tal (Lake of Demon) is nearby Manasarovar which is said to contain the poisonous water but the water of Manasarovar is believed to have neutralized its poison. Thus Manasarovar is taken as a lake of immortality. If you want to explore this divinity, Monterosa is the travel company which organizes holy trips to Mount Kailash and Manasarovar every year. Please come to join us. The outline of our itinerary is here.

Health Precaution
Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered in the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. The best idea is to deliberately slow down all the activities and have the following suggestions in mind:
- Relax-do not exert, be excited, make rest if needed
- Reduce talk time with each other during the journey
- Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
- Keep your load light.
- Walk for 30 minutes and rest for 5 minutes
- Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
- Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
- Observe silence with smile.
- Never go too high and too fast.
- Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
- Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favorite music, Bhajans, chanting etc.
- Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
- Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
- The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sightseeing together.
- Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
- On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable.
