08 June 2027 (Tuesday) Day 02: At around 8:00 am, we begin our holy sightseeing tour in the Kathmandu valley with a guide. Saga Nepal, a Shiva temple that is among the tallest in Nepal is Kailashnath Mahadev Statue. This is the second tallest Hindu deity in the world after the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue in Bali, Indonesia. A total of 144 feet / 44 meters high, the statue was made of copper, zinc, cement, and steel. The Kailash Nath Shiva statue is located about 20 km from Kathmandu in Sanga, Nepal. After Kailashnath visit drive to Doleshwor Mahadev temple.

Visit Doleshwor The trip to Kailash is incomplete without visiting Doleshwor Mahadev and Pashupatinath temples for Shiva devotees. As of Aug. 22, 2009, Doleshwor Mahadev was officially declared the head of Kedarnath, one of the Char Dham Yatra. After the devastating flood of 2013, which destroyed Kedarnath Temple in Uttarkhand, Doleshwor Temple continued to offer regular prayers. In the Kedarnath Temple, the head priest requested that regular prayers be held in the Doleshwor Mahadev Temple.

Buddhist Temple Boudhanath: The Buddha shrine is a Tibetan pilgrimage destination named after its enormous stupa. During prayers and seminars, devotees stroll around the gleaming white dome adorned with painted Buddha eyes. Kathmandu's Boudhanath stupa. The stupa's massive mandala makes it the largest spherical stupa in Nepal, located about 10 km from the center and northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu. One of the largest stupas in the world, the Buddha Stupa dominates the skyline. This is the point from which Kathmandu Valley gained its glory. It is the nine carnations of Vishnu that we are showing in Boudhanath. The site has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.

Visit Guhyeshwari / There are eight mother goddesses in the Astha Matrilas (Eight Mother Goddesses). Among them is Guhyeshori Shakti Pith temple. According to the Hindu legend Pauranik Katha. When Shiva's first consort SATI DEVI was insulted by her husband, she dropped herself into YAGYAAKUND (a religious fire ceremony). His corpse was burned senseless by grief when Shiva retrieved her and flew from Nepal to India. In the area where SATI DEVI's body lies, 51 Shakti Piths can be found. We call Guhyeshori the place where her secret part (GOPYA) vagina fell to, which we call Guhyeshori. We return to the hotel for a vegetarian buffet lunch & she protects the deities of the Kathmandu Valley as well.

09 June 2027 (Wednesday) Day 03: Kailash pilgrims are taken to Pashupatinath temple early in the morning for Rudrabhishek, Hawan and Aarati. Eleven Brahmin priests prepare for fire offering Hawan in the Pavilion (Mandap) and perform Sankalpa Pooja in the beginning. Swastibachan (Preaching), Nyas, Rudra preaching, and Mahamritunjaya (Death victory) Pooja follow. The word 'Rudra', which means 'Fearful Lord Shiva' comes from Rudrabhishek, Rudranti Iti Rudri, and Rudhiryoge Metal. Among people on this planet, there is pain, violence, greed, and we sing religious hymns in praise of God Shiva to escape these miseries of life and to grant justice, good health, prosperity, peace and salvation.

For this reason, Rudri is done to ensure peace in the World. Pilgrims begin their Kailash tour by visiting Pashupatinath and worshipping there. Devotees are believed to obtain all kinds of good merits by worshipping Lord Pashupatinath and performing Aarati. As a result, Kailash tours are believed to be complete only after a holy visit to Pashupatinath in Kathmandu. There is no doubt that Kailash Manasarovar is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the World. Even more than 12 Jyothirlinga and Shiva Temples, Kailash is a sacred pilgrimage. The soul is superior to the human, the sages are superior to the human, the gods are superior to the gods, and Lord Shiva is superior even to the gods and Kailash is his dwelling place. As a result, every pilgrimage is incomplete without the Kailash Pilgrimage.

A popular religious practice is to perform Rudra (Shiva's idol) Consecration and fire offering (Hawan) to Lord Pashupatinath to wish for a successful Kailash tour. The Panchamrit Pooja is held every day in Pashupatinath temple from 9:30 AM to 11 AM by Bhatta Pujari after Rudrabhishek. It is a payable Pooja and comes with a Pooja Thali, milk, Rudrasha mala, flower garland and a lamp. Performing Panchamrit Pooja for Lord Pashupatinath fulfills all the desired wishes for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra / tour. The ceremony concludes with the distribution of Prasad and Rudrasha mala. Only Hindu devotees can perform this Pooja. Religions other than Christianity are not allowed to enter the main gates. All of these rituals are included in the Kailash Manasarovar package.

Budhanilkantha depicts Vishnu sleeping on a snake bed in the middle of the cosmic ocean depicted by a big pool of water. Budhanilkantha means "blue throat disguised by mud" and has nothing to do with Buddha. The peculiar name refers to two legends attached to the statue, one of them claiming that a farmer found the long lost statue in the mud when working his field with a plough and the other claiming that Vishnu sacrificed himself by drinking the poison of the cosmic ocean, which turned his throat blue.

Mount Kailash: Located at 6714 meters above sea level, Kailash Parbat is a sacred religious place. Traditionally, this region has been considered the purest of all religious places. It is thought to be the center of the world and the origin of all religions before Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. There are many references to Kailash Parbat in the holy books such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Asia's civilization is incomplete without the description of Kailash Parbat, according to ancient Asian stories. In Tibet, Kailash Parbat can be found. There is a lack of satisfactory scientific research in this region. From the Brahmaputra in the east to the Karakoram in the west, this religious Parbat stretches for miles.

Even though they explained Kailash differently, different religious groups, such as the Shaiba, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bon - Po, respect it equally. Buddhist and Shaiba traditional literature describes Kailash as the world's center, which is part of Sumeru. Hindus believe it to be the residence of Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati. Kang Rimpoche is the name by which it is revered by Buddhists. As great natural Mandalas, Kailash and Manasarovar are regarded by Buddhists. For them, the Mandala is a symbol of respect and salvation. There is an isolated peak on this mountain that is worshipped by Jains as Aspada. This is the same place where Rishavadev, the founder of this religion, received spiritual salvation. Various logics can be used to claim this Parbat as sacred.

The isolated Parbat serves as a source for rivers such as the Brahmaputra, Satlaj, Indus and Karnali. Pilgrims should walk 38 km around Mount Kailash within three days, and if they add Charan Sparsh, it will take four days. People who move around the Kailash Parbat will be free of all their sins throughout their lifetimes, according to Hindu mythology. After moving around the Parbat 108 times, they will reach Nirvana. According to legend, a person who moves Nandi once receives the equivalent return of 13 rounds around Kailash. There is a belief that Kailash Parvat is the form of Lord Shiva and that the holy river Ganges flows from the snowy tip of the mountain.

From this Monastery, you can see Mount Kailash in a more beautiful manner. When viewed from Dirapuk, Mount Kailash appears between Mount Manjushree on the right and Mount Bajrapani on the left. Originally from Mount Kailash, the Ganges River meets the Lachhu River and merges with Rakshas Lake and follow out Karnali river. From Rakshas Lake's junction, the Karnali River emerges. The water from Rakshas Lake escapes through the Karnali River, but the water from Manasarovar is stored in the form of Lake Manasarovar

Dirapuk, pilgrims walk for four hours (4kms) to touch the feet of Mount Kailash, known as Charan Sparsh. Touching the base of Kailash Mountain feels like a blessing from Lord Shiva. Pooja is performed by pilgrims in order to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva. Getting back to Dirapuk takes approximately one and a half to two hours, and it is a day tour / Yatra. "Charan" means "foot" and "Sparsh" means "to touch". Together, these words mean "to touch one's feet". Touching Kailash Parbat's feet is a tradition that dates back thousands of years. "Charan Sparsh" has a scientific basis, as the human body releases vibrations touching the feet, which encourage the flow of energy and blessings, happiness and success. As a result of this exchange of energy, one gains vigor, self-confidence and contentment. It is like receiving invisible blessings after "Charan Sparsh"

17 June 2027 (Thursday) Day 11: A walking tour from Dirapuk to Zuthulpuk (4790 meters - 22 kilometers). As we have to pass Dolma La Pass, which is 5636 meters above sea level, today is an important day. With an imminent snowstorm, the weather is unpredictable, so we should start our journey early. After passing the pass, we descend steeply to Shapje Datok and then flat to Zuthulpuk monastery. We will stay in mud houses or guest houses for the night.

Ganesh Kund (Sarovar): On the right hand side of the walking trail, about 45 minutes before reaching Dolma La Pass 5636m., (Kailash circuit), there is a holy Ganesh Kund. The walking trail is 15 minutes away. This Kund resembles Lord Ganesh's bathing place.

The Legend of Gauri Kund: According to Hindu mythology, the legend of Shiva Purana mentions Gauri Kund or Parvati Kund as part of Sanatana Dharma. It is said that Gauri Sarovar is for Kailash Yatri's purification and compassion, that it purifies mind, body and speech. As a result, almost all Yatri of Kailash Manasarovar tours also include a tour program. As part of the holy bath offered to Goddess Parvati Mata, the goddess had molded a picture of her son Ganesh from a cleaning solution frothing on her body and resurrected it.

In her holy deep, she placed Ganesh at the path to prevent strangers from entering. At the same time, Lord Shiva came to his residence Mount Kailash, but Ganesh jee did not recognize him. When Lord Shiva became angry and cut off the child's head, Mata Parvati became desperate and asked Lord Shiva to restore life to the child. As a result, Parvati had her son back. Kailash tour Yatri is fascinated by this real story.

The Meaning or Significance to visit Gauri Kund: By splashing the Jaal on their heads, Kailash Yatri purify their minds, bodies, and speech during their Parikrama or Kora. For their ancestors to have peace in heaven, they offer TARPANA and Jaal (holy water). Their homes are filled with holy water brought from the Kund.

Where is the Gauri Kunda Located?: On the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra tour, after descending steeply from Dolma La Pass, the highest pass, the round turquoise colored GAURI KUND is situated at 5608m., above sea level, but it has no trail, so you have to walk on massif rock.

18 June 2027 (Friday) Day 12: Walking from Zuthulpuk to Chongdo (Zong Dho) and then driving to Darchen and continue drive to Manasarovar Lake for full moon night. Sarovar literally means 'lake of consciousness' and Manas simply means 'brain'. Maan Sarovar is therefore regarded as a place for storing 'consciousness' and 'knowledge' In addition to its name, it is also known as the lake created by Lord Varma. In Hinduism and Buddhism, Manasarovar Lake has a deep religious and spiritual significance.

The lake has been closed to empty and deep bathing since 2018, but pilgrims can wash their hands in it as well as Sparsh. Water from Manasarovar lake is brought by our company's workers inside the tents, where it is heated by cooking and mixed with cold water for bathing. Everybody can do bathing Separately tent Male and Female. After bathing each Yatri, a Nepali Brahman performs Rudrabhishek, Havan, and Aarti with Pushpanajali. Also, every pilgrim or family traveling to Kailash Manasarovar is offered Rudrabhishek, Havan, Aarti and Pushpanajali on the full moon evening day or the next day May to September every year.

In order to be relieved of their sins, some are meditating and others are reciting the names of their ancestral gods, performing the Hawan (offering grains mixed with butter to Pooja and Aarati (butter lamps) are completed and they exchange happiness.
