Mount
Kailash & Lake Manasorovar
 Mt.
Kailash, at 6714 m also known as Tise, Kailasa & Kang
Rinpoche (jewel of the Snows), has since time immemorial been
celebrated in many eastern cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis
mundi. And as the center of the physical & metaphysical
universe, Mt. Meru is sacred to the Buddhist, Jains, the Hindu
& the Bonpos. For the Hindus, the mountain represents
the seat of Lord Shiva, for the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection
of the cosmic mandala of Dhyani-Buddhas & Boddhisatvas…..
The Wheel of Life: for the Bonpos, Kailash was the sacred
nine storey Swastika Mountain, upon which the Bonpo founder
Sherab alighted from heaven. Four of the great rivers of the
Indian subcontinent originates from here:  the
Karnali, which feeds into the Ganges (south): the Indus (north);
the Sutlez (west) & the Brahmaputra (Yarlung Tsangpo,
east).
Adventure Plus Nepal P. Ltd offers special fixed trips to
Mt. Kailash & Lake Manasorovar to facilitate pilgrims
& foreign tourists. We are probably on the few outfits
that provide Nepali Sherpa staff support for all of our treks
in Tibet so as to ensure similar high quality trek services
that exist in Nepal. Details of the tour program & cost
