For Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bonpos, the pilgrimage tour to Mt. Kailash Manasarovar is the most sacred. Tibetans refer to Mount Kailash as the "Jewel of Snow," or Ghang Rinpoche, and they view it as the "Naval of the world." The "Abode of Arhats"—those who have gained paradise—is Mount Kailash in Buddhism. On this mountain, according to Bonpos belief, Shanrab, their progenitor, fell from the heavens. Mount Kailash is revered by Hindus as the "Center of the Universe" and the home of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The two lakes, Lake Manasarovar and Rakshas Tal, are located at the foot of Mt. Gurla Mandhata, south of Mount Kailash. The smaller lake, Rakshas Tal, is regarded as unlucky, while Manasarovar is revered as the most sacred body of water deserving of salvation.
Hindus hold that gods come down from heaven to bathe in this sacred lake. Buddhists hold that before giving birth to Lord Buddha, Queen Maya bathed in this sacred lake. These two lakes are fed by the glaciers of Mt. Kailash and Mt. Gurla Mandhata. Because of its religious and mythological significance, a great number of hermits and pilgrims have been traveling to this sacred and holiest of all Mt. Kailash Manasarovar tours for years. The "Roof of the World," as Mt. Kailash Manasarovar Tour is appropriately named, is located in southern Tibet. There are three distinct routes you can take to reach Kailash Manasarovar: from Western Nepal, over the Kyurung border, or via the Everest base camp in Lhasa.
