Full information Kailash Itinerary:

Everyone should attend the briefing. We will be providing Diamox medicine, a duffel bag and a small day bag and some more severer. The evening at 5:00 PM, we will meet in Hotel Lovey for Aarati Darshan in Pashupatinath as well as Ganga Aarati with holy dance and Shiva mantra chanting in front of Pashupatinath temple. As we get back to the hotel, we eat a vegetarian buffet dinner and take a break for the night.

08 July 2027 (Thursday) 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 Kailashnath Shiva statue is located about 20 km far from Kathmandu. After Kailashnath visit, drive to Doleshwor Mahadev temple.

Visit Doleshwor for Shiva devotees, a trip to Kailash is incomplete without a visit to the temples of Doleshwor Mahadev and Pashupatinath. Doleshwor Mahadev became the head of Kedarnath, one of the Char Dham Yatra, on Aug. 22, 2009 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. After Darshan of Doleshwor Mahadev, return to the hotel and while rest. Rest for a while, then drive to Boudhanath for a Darshan and visiting.

Buddhist Temple Buddhanath: It is named after the enormous stupa at the center of the shrine that attracts Tibetan pilgrims. Devotees stroll around the painted Buddha eyes adorning the gleaming white dome during prayers and seminars Boudhanath stupa in Kathmandu. It is located about 10 km from Kathmandu's center on the northeastern outskirts and has the largest spherical stupa in Nepal. Among the world's largest stupas, the Buddha Stupa dominates the skyline. Kathmandu Valley gained its glory from this point. Those are the nine carnations of Vishnu that we are displaying in Boudhanath. A world heritage site, the site has been designated by UNESCO.

09 July 2027 (Friday) 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, Rudrashe mala, flower garland and a lamp. Performing Panchamrit Pooja for Lord Pashupatinath fulfills all the desired wishes for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra. The ceremony concludes with the distribution of Prasad and Rudrashe 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.

Jal Narayan (Budhanilkantha): In the afternoon around 2:30 PM, begin sightseeing with a holy guide at the Budhanilkantha (Jal Narayan) Vishnu Temple, an open-air Hindu temple located in Budhanilkantha, Nepal. There is a large reclining statue of Lord Vishnu in front of Budhanilkantha Temple, which is located below the Shivapuri Hill at the northern end of the Kathmandu valley.

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. Back to hotel.

Kodari's northern end is crossed by the Sino Nepal Friendship Bridge, which crosses the Bhote Koshi river. Located on the Chinese side, the bridge connects Nepal with Zhangmu, where the road joins the China National Highway. Located 35 kilometers (22 miles) from Zhangmu, Nyalam is a high-altitude border town and county seat of Shigatse Prefecture of the Tibet Autonomous Region, China.

We will stay in either New Dongba or Prayang depending on hotel availability. The route from Saga to New Dongba and Prayang crosses through the stark Tibetan plateau.

The Trans-Himalayan region offers a deep spiritual atmosphere, yak-herder camps, ancient chortens, and vibrant prayer flags.

Around 5,200 meters above sea level, the Mayum La Pass offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, including Mount Shishapangma and Brahmaputra River. You will see Mount Kailash and Manasarovar Lake for the first time as you approach Darchen. Lake Mansarovar, one of the world's highest freshwater lakes and a turquoise-colored lake of spiritual significance, is a popular stopping point for pilgrims. We stayed two nights in Darchen for acclimatization after the drive, and it serves as a base camp for the Mount Kailash Kora (circumambulation).

Drive to Serlung Gompa and walk for about 10 minutes to ASTAPADA and holy explore, have a Darshan of lord Kailashnath of South Face and Nandi Parvat. There is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery called Serlung Gompa, which is located on the hill and this hill is called ASTAPAD it is revered by both Jains and Buddhists as a sacred site. "The mountain hill of the eight steps" is also known as Astpada.

The nearby sacred site of Astpada is located at the foot of South face of Mount Kailash, in a mountain amphitheater. According to Jain mythology, Astpada is the place where the first Jain Tirthankara attained nirvana. You can see the Mount Kailash's south face as well as Nandi Parvat from Astpada, a mountain amphitheater at the base of Mount Kailash. Additionally, Nandi Parvat, which lies near Mount Kailash, is visible from Astpada. Astpada is located about 5 kilometers away from Darchen.

16 July 2027 (Friday) Day 10: From Darchen, drive to Yam Dwar.) Yam Dwar is the Gate of Death. Yam Dwar is the starting point for your walk around Mount Kailash. For those who are unable to walk, a pony and local porter can be hired for 4 days but you must inform us while at Manasarovar, so the Tibetan Guide can arrange it. After walking from Yam Dwar for approximately 5 or 6 hours, you will reach Dirapuk. The north face of Mont Kailash is much closer from Dirapuk. There seems to be Lord Shiva himself staying there.

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 Mount 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

Charan Sparsh / Touch Kailash is closed from August 2024: 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 some 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 July 2027 (Saturday) 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 morning. 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 Gaauri Kund: According to Hindu mythology, the legend of Shiva Purana mentions Gauri 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 Significace 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 Kund 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 5608 m., above sea level, but it has no trail, so you have to walk on massif rock.

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.
