PRODUCT INFORMATION
Holy Mount Kailash overland Tour via Kyrung is one of the easiest and economical journeys to Holy Mt. Kailash & Mansarovar Lake, which starts from Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. This yatra generally covers a pilgrimage tour to Nepal, covering the Holy Pashupatinath temple before proceeding to the Timure Border by surface. Yatries can even make their yatra comfortable by using a helicopter from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi / Timure with an extra cost of USD 1500 for a way helicopter journey. From the border onwards, we will pass through Kyrung, Saga, and Paryang before reaching to Holy Mansarovar lake. After puja, Hawan, tarpan, and personal purification at the Holy Mansarovar lake, we further advance our yatra with the Holy Mount Kailash Parikrama via Darchen, Dirapuk, and Zuthulpuk. After completion of the Holy Mount Kailash Yatra, we will perform puja and Holy water offering in the Lord Pashupatinath Temple. Kailahtreks.com invites all the lord Shiva Devotees to join this overland Yatra via Kathmandu and Kyrung during the next yatra season from April to September 2026.

HOLY MT KAILASH AND MANSAROVAR LAKE- AN INTRODUCTION:
Holy Mt Kailash and Mansarovar Lake, the center of creation & the Universe, are as old as the creation. Thousands of Sages, Ordinary Mortals, Philosophers, and even Gods had submerged in the blissful trance at the very sight of this divine grandeur. It is the MERU, SUMERU, SUSHUMNA, HEMADRI (Golden Mountain), RATNASANU (Jewel Peak), KARNIKACHALA (Lotus Mountain), AMARADRI, DEVA PARVATHA (Summit of Gods), GANAPARVATHA, AJATADRI (Silver Mountain). Regarded as SWAYAMBHU, the self-created one, everything is said to emanate from here and finally returns here. Mind is the knot tying consciousness, and matter is set free here. Famously known to be an abode of LORD SHIVA and his divine consort PARVATI, Mt. Kailash expounds the philosophy of PURUSHA and PRAKRITI-SHIVA and SHAKTI. The radiant SILVERLY summit is the throne of TRUTH, WISDOM, and BLISS-SACHIDANANDAM. The primordial sound AUM (NADABINDU) from the tinkling anklets of LALITA PRAKRITI created the visible patterns of the universe, and the vibrations (DVANI) from the feet of Lord Shiva (NATARAJA) weaved the essence of ATMAN, the ultimate truth. The scriptures reiterate that one who takes the holy dip at Mansarovar and carries out the Parikrama around Kailash is absolved of his/her sins through generations and is absorbed into the Supreme Finality. There is no rebirth; sorrows or joys, and he/she will be with ultimate – the Lord Shiva. In other words, they become Shiva.
In addition to the Hindus, the entire region is also one of the most important pilgrimage centers for the Buddhists. They worship DEMCHOK (Buddha in forceful form) seated on the summit of Kailash. It is also called Dharmapala; one version quotes the deity as a form of Shiva’s manifestation. The description of the deity is more or less like Shiva. Devi is also given a similar form to Parvati. Buddhists adore Kailash as KANG RINGPOCHE and Mansarovar as TSO MAPHAM. Guru Rinpoche (The great Indian Master PADMASAMBHAVA, who introduced Buddhism) and Saint Milerapaare are greatly revered here by the pilgrims. Since TANTRISM runs through the main core of Buddhism here, their customs and practices would be found running close and parallel to Hindu traditions. Like Hindus, they also consider (DOLMA (DEVI) and GAURI KUND (ThukiZingbu) as holiest spots. Buddhists strongly believe that pilgrimage to this place liberates them to NIRVANA.
Besides, Jains acknowledge Kailash as ASTAPADA and PADMAHRADA. It is believed that ADINATH VRISHABDEVA, the first Tirthankara, attained Nirvana here. A few claim that GURU NANAK meditated here. Across the river CHU, there on the Nyanri range stands an impressive temple. Inside this monastery, there is a marble statue radiating peace and compassion. This statue is claimed to be that of Guru Nanak.
The entire area echoes with spiritual vibrations. Even the agnostics shall discover new balance amidst that fathomless serenity. One has to experience it. The common belief is that those who are ordained can only be there.
