The mountain may be circled 52 kilometers in total. A physically fit person can complete the walk in roughly 15 hours. The method is quite challenging due to the challenging terrain and high altitude. Only a small percentage of devotees who begin the pilgrimage will finish the circuit. During the tour, we will be sleeping in basic hotels and tents. You can rent a horse or hike the mountain on foot.
Devotees perceive ascending the mountain or simply setting foot there as sinful. It is hence closed to climbers. The people think that Mount Kailash's staircase leads to heaven.
What to Expect during Kailash Overland Tour
The sacred Lake Mansarovar is located at the base of Mount Kailash. The world's highest freshwater lake is called Mansarovar. As a significant pilgrimage destination for millions of people, it is the holiest Lake. It is said that everyone who bathes and ingests the water has atoned for all of their sins throughout their lives.
Manasarovar was made by Brahma to serve as a suitable location for religious rites, according to Hindu tradition. According to Buddhism, the gods took the mother of the Buddha to this lake, where she bathed in Lake Mansarovar's holy water until her body was cleansed. As the Buddha entered her womb, she next saw a white elephant galloping toward her from Mount Kailash. The journey also circles the Lake; stopping at each.
