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.
