Mount Kailash Tour
Ultimate Tibet: Journey to Mount Kailash
ULTIMATE TIBET TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Magnificent temples, flag-draped mountain passes, snow-capped peaks, pilgrim camps, this is truly a journey to stir the senses and nourish the soul. The three-day circumambulation (kora) of Buddhism’s most sacred mountain is challenging, but cleanses you of the sins of a lifetime. You may walk at your own pace and our support staff will assist you. Relax afterwards beside Lake Manasarovar, legendary source of the four great rivers of South Asia. Saga Dawa is one of the most significant of all Tibetan festivals, commemorating both the enlightenment and the earthly death of the Shakyamuni Buddha, and Mount Kailash is the most important place to celebrate. Travel to Tibet on this comprehensive pilgrimage, and you will be forever changed.
