Lhasa is the administrative capital of China’s autonomous region of Tibet. Lying at a height of 3650m., Lhasa is home to ancient Potala Palace, Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Zokhang Temple, Norbulunka palace among others. The unique lifestyle and culture of many ethnic Tibetan groups will mesmerize all visitors. Mt. Kailash at an altitude of 6,714m. is one of the important pilgrimage destinations for Buddhists, Hindus, Jain and Bon-Pos. Called ‘Kangri Rimpoche’ by Tibetan which literally means 'a Sparkling Mass of Snow', the mountain feeds four biggest rivers in Asia: Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra and Sutlej River. Visiting Mt. Kailash allows one to attain salvation and enlightenment as per Hindu and Buddhist tradition.
Mapam Yumtso, popularly called Manasarovar Lake (4580m.) literally means lake of consciousness. Hindus believe that taking a sip of water from the lake and bathing in it rids one of all world sins and secure place in heaven. Buddhists on the other hand regard Manasarovar Lake a sacred place where Buddha meditated. Hence the sight of lake is enough to put one on the path of enlightenment.

On Aug. 22, 2009, the Doleshwar Mahadev was officially declared as the head of Kedarnath, one of the Char Dham Yatra. All in the year 2013, after the devastating flood hit the temple of Kedarnath, situated in Uttarkhand, the regular prayers that were interrupted were carried out in Doleshwar Temple.

Buddhist Temple in Boudha: Boudhanath stupa is the biggest stupa in Nepal and second largest stupa in the world, it was built in the 5th century with the wisdom eyes of Gautama Buddha for four cardinal directions. Named after its immense stupa, Buddha is a pilgrimage destination for Tibetans. Devotees stroll around the gleaming white dome and visit nearby monasteries and schools for prayers and seminars. The Buddha Stupa dominates the skyline. The influx of large populations of refugees from Tibet has seen the construction of over 50 gompas (Tibetan convent) around Buddha so it is known as little Tibet in Nepal. Since 1979 Boudhanath Stupa has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The glory of Kathmandu Valley is said to have started from this point.

16 August 2024 Day 03: Early in the morning, Kailash pilgrims are taken to Pasupatinath temple for Rudra Consecration called Rudra Abhishek, Hawan and Aarati. Seven or 11 Brahmins priests prepare for fire offering Hawan in Pavilion (Mandap) and do Sankalpa Pooja in the beginning followed by Swastibachan (Preaching), Nyas, Rudra preaching and Mahamritunjaya (Death victory) Pooja.
The word ‘Rudra’, meaning ‘Fearful Lord Shiva’ has come from Rudrabhishek, Rudranti Iti Rudri, Rudhiryoge Metal. It means there is pain, violence, greed among people on this Earth and we perform religious hymns in praise of God Shiva so that he escapes people from all these miseries of life and grants justice, good health, prosperity, peace and Salvation. This is why Rudri is done for Peaceful life. During the Kailash tour, visiting Pashupatinath and its worship is the first thing to do for pilgrims. It is believed that worshipping Lord Pashupatinath, doing Aarati grants all kinds of good merits to devotees. This is why the Kailash Tour is believed to be complete only after a holy visit to Pashupatinath. Kailash Manasarovar is one of the most important pilgrimage sites.
Kailash is a pilgrimage even to many Jyothirlinga and Shiva Temples. In this Universe, Humans are superior to Soul, Sages are superior to Humans, Gods are superior to sages and Lord Shiva is superior even to Gods and Kailash is the dwelling place of supreme Lord Shiva. So, every pilgrimage is believed to be incomplete without the Kailash Pilgrimage. It is a popular religious trend to wish for a successful Kailash Tour by doing Rudra (Shiva’s idol) Consecration and fire offering (Hawan) to Lord Pashupatinath, which takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
After Rudra Abhishek, join Panchamrit Pooja in Pashupatinath temple every day 9:30 AM to 11 AM Bhatta pujari. Offering available in the temple but it is a payable Pooja and with Pooja Thali, milk, Rudrachhe mala, flower garland and a lamp. Devotee offers it to the priest. By offering Panchamrit Pooja for lord Pasupatinath fulfills all the desired wishes for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra / tour. The ceremony ends after getting Prasad and Rudraccha mala. This Pooja is available only Hindu devotees. Other religions are not allowed to enter the main gates.

Budhanilkantha, portrays a sleeping Vishnu, floating like a gigantic astronaut on a bed of snakes in the middle of a big pool of water depicting the cosmic ocean. The name Budhanilkantha has nothing to do with Buddha, but literally means “blue throat disguised by mud”.
