| Mt. KAILASH & MANSAROVAR
TREK: |
TOUR CODE NO: 0562 |
Mt. Kailash, claimed to be the apex of the Hindu
religious axis is also one of the highest mountain
in Tibet at 22,020 feet, and lake Mansarovar at
14,950 feet is said to be the highest fresh water
lake in the world. Certainly a difficult region to
reach with variable and extreme weather conditions.
The distance from Lhasa for example is approximately
2000 km.
Only during the last few years have many ordinary or
not so ordinary travelers been able to experience
this region. Road conditions are difficult much of
the time and we have to make many preparations to
ensure that we have a reasonable chance of reaching
Kailash. We need to bring our own food and camping
equipment. Basic lodges and teahouses can be found
but the plateau is so remote that it is impossible
to travel for several days without finding food
available.
To travel for days on this remote plateau with the
chance encounters of nomads herding their sheep or
yaks is to be transferred into another way of life.
To see and become part of such a devout pilgrimage
as shown by pilgrims around Mt. Kailash and Lake
Mansarovar is to put some aspects of our western way
of life into their proper perspective.
We begin the tour by traveling to Kathmandu and
departing by road to the Nepal/Tibet boarder town of
Zhangmu where we collect out transport. We travel by
the Southern route and after our pilgrimage
(religious or secular) we return by the same route.
The day to day program is outlined which we follow
during our journey period.
