Mt. Kailash Trek
The destination of this trek is the mystical mountain of Kailas, hidden behind the Himalayas in the remote corner of the Tibetan Plateau. This sacred 22,028 ft peak is the source of four great Asian rivers-the Indus, Bhramaputra, Sutlej, and Karnali. Situated in the southwestern part of Tibet bordering the Kumaon hills and Nepal, is Mount Kailash.

It is supremely sacred mountain, cosmology connected with Mount Meru, the great Mythological mountain that forms the axis of the world system. Being a central watershed of Asia, it has always been the most sacred of mountains for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bons.

It is also the ultimate pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists who believe that by devoutly circling the mountain of foot, they will be cleansed of all earthly sins and reach ultimate spiritual freedom.

Conventional wisdom says a single circuit of Mt. Kailash wipes out the sins of lifetime, 108 guarantees enlightenment. A ritual bath in the sacred Manasarovar lake will deliver a pilgrim to Brahma's paradise and a drop drink of its water relinquishes the sins of hundred of lifetimes.
