About Kailash Mansarovar Tour Via Simikot

Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar are of great religious importance in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Situated in the remote southwestern part of Tibet, these sites are revered by both pilgrims and travelers.

Kailash (Kailash Parvat): This remarkable peak is located in the Kailash Range, which forms a part of the Transhimalaya in Tibet. Hindus consider it to be the dwelling place of Lord Shiva, while Buddhists associate it with Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). The mountain holds immense significance as a pilgrimage destination, and the Kailash Parikrama, a ritualistic circumambulation around the mountain, is regarded as sacred.
Lake Mansarovar: Situated near Mount Kailash, this freshwater lake is one of the highest lakes in the world. Pilgrims believe that immersing themselves in the holy waters of Mansarovar purifies their sins and brings about spiritual rejuvenation. The lake also holds significance in Buddhism and is associated with various mythologies. Embarking on a journey to Kailash and Mansarovar is considered a challenging endeavor, often requiring a trek or circumambulation around Mount Kailash that spans several days. Undertaking this pilgrimage is a deeply profound spiritual experience, reflecting the profound cultural and religious connections between the people of Tibet, India, and other regions.
