Adventure of the Spirit MT.Kailash with Lhasa city.

The trek to Mt. Kailash is a religious circumambulation of the revered peak. This demanding but classic drive –trek to the scared Mt. Kailash and manasarovar lake required 24 days and lots of endurance. Mt. Kailash, known to the Tibetans as the "Jewel of the Snow", lies in the western part of the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China and a source of four main rivers of India. It is one of the most sacred mountains in Asia, and is venerated by the followers for four different faiths - Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and the ancient Bon religion. The perfectly shaped pyramid of rock and snow is regarded as the center of the spiritual universe by millions and, therefore, is a hallowed pilgrimage site. Manasarovar Lake nearby is no less sacrosanct. Devotees believe that a dip in its cold waters washes away the sins of a hundred lifetimes and is equal to reaching the paradise of Brahma. The journey to Kailash Manasarovar is not just an adventure, but also an adventure of the spirit and a passage through the history and culture of Asia. The place is worth visited at the time of saga dawa when many thousand of pilgrims from through out Tibet gather to pay homage to the mountain.
