TT06 f. Mt.kailash -Budget tour

19 Days/18 Nights. ( Zhangmu to Zhagmu Guest House/Lodges)

A wonderful introduction to the splendour of the range of classic Himalayan culture, people and landscape. Driving through the Tibetan plateau you see the lushness of the foothills as well as the austerity of the high altitude desert. On the drive from Kathmandu to Lhasa you will be struck by the unremitting desert where vast open skies frame dramatic massifs of ice and stone against brown shot through with occasional green barley and blue water. There are temples and palace squares with art rich and varied beyond all imagination, and monasteries where the air, redolent with the odours of butter lamps and juniper incense, carries through the wind centuries of tradition. The fluttering prayer flags everywhere are the most obvious expression of the spirituality and faith that permeates every aspect of the lives of Tibetan Buddhists. In Nepal, the cosmopolitan hisotyr of the Newars of Kathmandu Valley comes alive in the sophisticated palace squares. The views of 8,000 m peaks like Everest, Xixapangma, and Cho Oyu reinforce the awe-inspiring powers of the natural world.

Mt Kailash (6,700 m) is the most sacred spot for Hindus and Buddhists alike, and in many worldviews across Asia this sacred mountain together with its holy Manasarovar lake are seen as the centre of the world. The source of four major rivers of the region, including the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) and the Indus, this power place rejuvernates all visitors, helping illuminate their way along the journey of life. Circumambulating the holy mountain and taking a dip in the pristine, icy waters of the lake are supposed to wash away the sins of one lifetime, therefore the more times one performs this prescribed pilgrimage, called kora in Tibetan, the closer one comes to wiping one's karmic slate clean, and 108 kora performed in one lifetime ensure the devotee nirvana. Interestingly, though Hindus and Buddhists circumambulate the holy mountain clockwise, as they perform all rituals, you will nevretheless see a large number of Tibetans performing the kora counter-clockwise. These are adherents of the Bön faith, the pre-Buddhist animist faith of Tibet that survives in various degraded forms to this day.
