Pilgrimage Tour Eco-Trek
offers once in a life time opportunities in the remote and
wondrous region of Tibet, Nepal and India for Hindus and

tours but keep in mind that you can design your own trip
to include everything you want to experience. Like all Eco-Trek
treks and tours, all you have to do is send us a message
and we will start creating the trip that you want.
Yatra
to Holy-Kailash and Manasarover:
To
the world’s Hindus and Buddhists, Mt Kailash is the high,
remote western borderland of Tibet is the centre of the
universe, the holiest of holy. It definitely looks the part,
rising like a lone apparition form the windswept alpine
meadows that surround it on all sides. On its immaculate
white 22,000-foot summit legend says, the worlds of humankind
and gods meet. Pilgrims come from as far away as the tropical
plains of southern India and beyond to walk the ancient,
shrine studded pilgrims’ trails that circle the base of
the holy-peak. Following in their footsteps, walking alongside
rugged nomads, Hindu holy men and jewel-adorned aristocrats
on horseback, it is easy to believe, as they do, that a
single pilgrimage around Kailash burns away a thousand years
of ignorance and bad karma. Breathing that rarefied air,
eyes filled with brilliant rock, snow and sky, passing a
veritable Canterbury Tales-worth of medieval style fellow
travellers, magic seems logical, the power of the place
undeniable. Before or after completing the circuit, the
group will visit the exquisite turquoise color Lake Manasarovar,
also considered to be very sacred.
