The Mt. Kailash is regarded as the holy place of
Hindu deities Shiva—the lord of power and
destruction— and Parvati—the divine beloved of
the Lord Shiva. The Mt. Kailash and the
Manasarovar Lake as in Hindus holy book Skanda
Puran are known as the Meru, Sumeru, Sushumna,
Hemadri, Ratnasanu, Karnikachala, Amaradri, Deva
Parvata, Gana Parvata, Rajatadri. They lie to
the western part of Tibet. A saying in Hindu
religion is that the mountain and the lake are
the purgatory. It is said that at the sight of
the Mt. Kailash and the lake Manasarovar, a man
will be released form his sins committed
knowingly or unknowingly. The kora or the
circular path is attempted through Dolma La
(pass) at an altitude of 5630meter high.
The trip begins by drive from Kathmandu to the
Tibetan border at Zhangmu and continues to
Nyalam. After our stay in Nyalam, we drive to
the Lake Manasarovar across widely spread open
spaces of the Tibetan Plateau known as ' roof of
the world'. Then we make our most fascinating
trip to Mt. Kailash and follow the track across
vast arid plains for Nepalese border lies to the
south. Finally, we take the trip back to
Kathmandu.
