ZHANGMU TO MOUNT KAILASH 

 

Enjoying numinous Tibetan capital and exploring the rest...   All the way through most stunning landscapes in the world...

It is a great adventure in history, in landscape and in the faiths of Asia. In the heart of the highest mountains on earth, Mount Kailash rises to an altitude of 6,714 metres, and is one of the most elegant and entrancing peaks in Tibet. For the traveler, this is a dream destination, almost inaccessible until just a few decades ago because of bad roads, political prohibitions, and the presence of bandits. But no Westerner has ever felt lonely in the area around Mount Kailash.

The Kailash "Gang Rinpoche", which means "Jewel of snow" is striking in the way it rises high above the surrounding range and always remains snow - capped. Traditional Buddhist cosmology has often connected Kailash with Mount Meru, the great mythological mountain that forms the axis of this world system.

 Lhasa to Mount Kailash

We fly to Lhasa embarking this journey and after exploring its numerous attractions the trip gets started driving through small Tibetan settlements, nomadic herdsmen wandering across the wide arid plains and awe-inspiring mountain peaks. Equally as fascinating is the wealth of cultural interest and we will have plenty of opportunity to explore this side of Tibet before reaching Mount Kailash. more>>>

 Simikot Valley (Nepal) & Mount Kailash

To begin this pilgrimage we start with a flight to Simikot in Nepal's remote Humla District. From here our trek follows the ancient salt trading & pilgrimage route towards the Nara Langa pass & to the border trade post at Taklakot. After the trekking, a stone pillar that marks the Nepal/Tibet border is just across a rickety wooden bridge, perhaps one of the most informal border crossings in the world. more>
