Mt. Kailash [Kailas] (6714m/22050ft) - also known as Tise,
Kailasa or Kang Rinpoche (Jewel of the Snows) has since
time immemorial been celebrated in many eastern cosmologies
as Mt. Meru, the axis-mundi. As the center of the physical
& metaphysical universe, Mt. Meru (Kailash) is sacred
to the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Jains, and the Bonpos.
For the Hindus, the mountain represents the seat of Lord
Shiva. For the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection of the
cosmic mandala of the Dyani Buddhas & Boddhisatvas .…
The Wheel of Life.
For the devout pilgrim a visit to Mount Kailash & Lake
Manasarovar forms the ultimate realization of their spiritual
pursuit. And for the adventure-lovers it offers rugged beauty,
remoteness and solitude. The June tour visits Kailash during
the annual Buddhist festival of Saga Dawa while most of
the other trips are planned to arrive at Mt. Kailash during
the full moon period to give all participants a rare experience.
A journey rightly called `once-in-a-lifetime'.
