Holy Kailash Mansarovar Yatra
Embark on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, a journey unlike any other, deeply rooted in devotion, mythology, and spiritual awakening. Revered by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers, this pilgrimage takes you to the heart of the Himalayas, where Mount Kailash rises in divine majesty. Believed to be the eternal residence of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, this sacred peak, Kailash Parvat is more than a mountain; it is a spiritual axis connecting heaven and earth.
Mount Kailash
Worshipped as the axis mundi, or the spiritual center of the universe, Mount Kailash is the holiest of mountains. For Hindus, it is the throne of Lord Shiva, the destroyer and regenerator of life. For others, it is a gateway to ultimate peace, self-realization, and enlightenment.
Lake Mansarovar - The Sacred Mirror of the Mind
Adjacent to Kailash lies Lake Mansarovar, a high-altitude freshwater lake known for its purity and spiritual cleansing power. According to scriptures, bathing in its waters or sipping from its holy source washes away the sins of countless lifetimes, preparing the soul for liberation.
Kora / Parikrama Around Mount Kailash
One of the most powerful acts of devotion during the Kailash Yatra is the Kora (Tibetan) or Parikrama (Hindu)—a 52 km clockwise trek around Mount Kailash. Pilgrims believe that completing even one full circumambulation can cleanse karmic debts and open the path to moksha (liberation). Despite its physical demands and high-altitude challenges, the journey is filled with spiritual energy, divine connection, and inner transformation.
At Himalayan Social Journey, we offer carefully curated Kailash Mansarovar Yatra packages with overland and helicopter options, ensuring safety, comfort, and spiritual depth.
