Full moon night in Manasarovar 22 May 2024 (Buddha Jayanti Purnima)

Our Mt. Kailash & Mansarovar Helicopter Tour 2024 is perfect for those interested to pay homage to the spiritually sacred peak of Mt. Kailash and highest wetland Manasarovar Lake in the shortest possible time. Kangri Rimpoche or Mt. Kailash (6714m.) is located in Tibet province of China and is a major attraction for travelers and pilgrims alike. All four founders of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Bonpo are believed to have some connection with Mt. Kailash. Hindus believe it to be the abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Pārbati, Buddhists regard it as the meditative spot of Buddha and Jains believe that their first Saint obtained Liberation and Freedom while meditating on its peak and Bon claim Mt. Kailash is the birthplace of its founder.

Hence pilgrims of all four religions regard Mt. Kailash / Kangri is a spiritually and religiously sacred place worthy of a pilgrimage once in a lifetime. For a Hindu, to make the arduous pilgrimage to Kailash is to release oneself from the clutches of ignorance and sin. While for a Buddhist the journey to Mt. Kailash is a self-fulfilling journey to achieve enlightenment and world peace. Making a kora or circumambulation of the mountain at least once on foot or by prostrating is considered the most pious activity by Tibetans.

Along with Mt Kailash, Tibet is also home to another sacred site, the Manasarovar Lake or Mapam Yumtso Lake, which is one of the highest wetlands in the world. There is another equally spectacular wetland called Rakshas Lake which literally translates into Lake of Demon. Pilgrims often worship these lakes, drink their water and bathe. Taking a dip in the lake is believed to purge one’s soul from sins and attain salvation. Both lakes support a wide variety of flora and fauna.

14 May 2024 Day 02: Guided holy Sightseeing in Kathmandu valley as follows. Kailash Nath Mahadev Statue is the one of the tallest Shiva temples in Nepal. It is the second tallest Hindu deity after Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue in Bali, Indonesia. Kailash Nath Shiva statue is situated in Sanga, Nepal and about 20 km far from Kathmandu. The statue is 144 feet / 44 m in tallness, and was influenced by copper, zinc, cement and steel. Visit Doleshwar (Doleshwar Mahadev Temple) for all the Shiva devotees, it is believed that the trip to Kailash is incomplete without visiting Doleshwar Mahadev and Pasupatinath temple. 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 Uttarakhand, the regular prayers that were interrupted were carried out in Doleshwar Temple. The head priest of Kedarnath Temple requested regular prayers that used to be held in the Kedarnath Temple to be held in the Doleshwar Mahadev Temple.

After Lunch visit Buddhist Temple Boudhanath Stupa: Named after its immense stupa, Buddha is a pilgrimage destination for Tibetans. Devotees stroll around the gleaming white dome adorned with painted Buddha eyes and visit nearby monasteries and schools for prayers and seminars. Boudhanath is a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. Located about 10 km from the center and northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, the stupa's massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal. The Buddha Stupa dominates the skyline; it is one of the largest stupas in the world, optional visit Swayambhunath if time permits.

Find peace and prayers on the little hillock of Swayambhunath in the Northwest of Kathmandu city. Visitors for whom the name was a tongue twister have called it "Monkey Temple '' from the 1970. Swaymbhunath overlooks most parts of the valley giving visitors a panoramic view of the city. The stupa has stood as a hallmark of faith and harmony for centuries with Hindu temples and deities incorporated in this Buddhist site. The glory of Kathmandu Valley is said to have started from this point. Evening briefing Kailash Manasarovar tour and provide Diamox medicine, Duffel bag, small day bag.

15 May 2024 Day 03: In Kathmandu, you pay homage to the biggest Hindu temple, Pashupatinath. Start Rudrabhishek; The word ‘Rudra’, meaning ‘Fearful Lord Shiva’ has come from Rudrabhishek, Rudranti Iti Rudri and 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 Jyotirlinga 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 Puja 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 load 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 gate.

Visit Gujeswari / Guyeshori Shakti Peeth temple. Among Astha Matrilas (Eight mother Goddesses) she is mother of all. She is worshiped by Hindu and Buddhist both. According to Pauranik Katha Hindu legend. Lord Shiva’s 1st consort SATI DEVI offered by some insult of her husband Shiva dropped herself into YAGYAA KUND (A religious fire ceremony) Load Shiva’s retrieved her, fire burned corpse senseless him by grief and flew to and from across Nepal and the Indian subcontinent. SATI DEVI’s body is scattered in 51 Shakti Peeth. Guyeshori is a place where her secret part (GOPYA) vagina, some says her anus fell to which we call Guyeshori.

Budhanilkantha Temple is situated below Shivapuri Hill at the northern end of the Kathmandu valley and can be identified by a large reclining statue of Lord Vishnu. The remarkably intricate artwork that went into sculpting this magnificent 5th century stone image of the sleeping Vishnu is worth a close look. This spiritual place of worship is an extraordinary experience with the air, a fragrance of sweet incense and butter lamps and exquisite intricate carvings adorning every space.

Rakshas Tal (Demon King Ravana Lake) Sarovar
This lake is named on the basis of Hindu traditional history. Hindu people believe that carnivorous monsters are hiding in the dark water. On the basis of this belief, people called it Rakshas Tal and stayed away from this lake believing it as the symbol of dark and destructive power. According to the traditional religious story, the water of this lake is poisonous and fatal. So, to replace the poisonous water of this lake a tunnel was made from Manasarovar Lake. The pure water of this lake and a golden fish was sent in this lake. Later, this fish was found alive. From it, people’s negative attitude towards the lake changed and they started to go nearer to it but they still don’t drink the water.

Mansarovar (Brahma’s Sarovar)
Manasarovar Lake, also known as Brahma’s Lake or Mapam Yumtso Lake is situated at an elevation of 4850 meter above sea level. The word “Manas” means mind or consciousness and Sarovar means Lake. It has held deep spiritual influence and wide religious values among Hindus & Buddhists. Making round the Lake and taking a holy bath in it is believed to purge one’s soul from sins and the body from sickness. Ancient Hindu scriptures indicate this Lake as a must visit place for someone who wants to attain salvation - the highest level of achievement in Hindu religion. The cascading waves of the Lake in the wind look very charming.

As described in Ramayana, it is said that the person who moves around the Manasarovar Lake and baths with its pure water, reaches heaven directly after death. Similarly, it is written that the person, who drinks the water of this lake, recognizes the “Shivalok” , the palace of Lord Shiva. Kailash Parbat is situated about 58km. far in the north from Manasarovar Lake. Brahmaputra River flows from eastward of the Manasarovar Lake. So, many people want to visit Kailash Parbat and Mansarovar Lake at least once in their life.

According to Hindu traditional hearsay, it is believed that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati take bath each day at 2 AM to 4 AM in this Lake as well as stars also come for bath in Manasarovar Lake. It is said that pilgrims who stay at this place at night; they can live and watch God there. Mainly it is believed that people can see or visit the God Shiva and Goddess Parvati at the night of full moon. This Manasarovar Lake covers a very large area that is pure, it is mentioned in Hindu religious books that all the Hindus must reach there at least once in their lifetime.

19 May 2024 Day 07: Full day acclimatization in Darchen and day hill hiking can be done or rest in a hotel.

Mount Kailash The Sacred religious place, Kailash Parbat is located on the height of 6714meter above sea level. This region is supposed to be the purest religious place. It is supposed to be the central part of the world and origin of the world before the origin of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Kailash Parbat is glorified in the holy books like Ramayana and Mahabharata. According to ancient Asian stories, civilization is incomplete without the description of Kailash Parbat. Kailash Parbat is located in Tibet. Scientific research of this region is not satisfactory. This religious Parbat is extended from Brahmaputra in the east to Karakoram in the west. Different religious groups like Shaiba, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Bon-Po respect Kailash equally, though they explained it differently. In the Shaiba and Buddhist traditional literature, Kailash is described as the part of Sumeru which is supposed to be the center of the world. It is believed to be the residence of Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati as per Hindus. Buddhist respect it in the name of Kang Rimpoche. Buddhists have accepted Kailash and Manasarovar as great natural Mandala. Mandala for them is the means of respect and salvation. Jains worship as Aspada for this isolated peak. The founding father of this religion Rishavadev had received spiritual salvation in the same place.

There are various logics to claim this Parbat as sacred. This isolated Parbat is also a source to big rivers like, Yarlung Janbo, Brahmaputra, Satlaj, Indus and Karnali. The total periphery of Mount Kailash is 53 km and pilgrims should walk 38 km within 3 days and if add Charan Sparsh (Touch Kailash) tour then it will be 4 days kora. As described in Hindu myth, a person who moves around the Kailash Parbat, will be free from all the sins made in life time. If they move round the Parbat for 108 times, they directly get Nirvana. It is also said that a person who moves Nandi once, he/she gets return as equal to moving round the Kailash for 13 times.

Kailash Parvat is regarded as the form of Lord Shiva and the water flowing from its snowy tip is worshipped as holy river Ganges. Mount Kailash can be observed more beautifully from the side of this Monastery. Observing from Dirapuk, Mount Kailash is seen in between Mount Manjushree at right side and Mount Vajrapani at left side. River Ganges, originated from Mount Kailash meets Lachhu River and gets mixed into Rakshas Lake. Every river formed from Kailash Himalayan Ranges gets mixed into Rakshas Lake. The river formed from the junction of Rakshas Lake is called Karnali. Water from Rakshas Lake escapes via Karnali River but water from Manasarovar is stored in the form of Lake.

20 May 2024 Day 08: Drive to Yam Dwar for 2 minutes, the starting point of Kailash Parikrama. Trek to Dirapuk (4860m) by walking for 5-6 hours. Stay overnight at a guest house.

GANESH KUND (SAROVAR)
About 45 minutes before reaching Dolma La Pass 5636m. (Kailash circuit) on the right hand side of the walking trail, there is holy Ganesh Kund. It is 15 minutes away from the walking trail. The shape of the Kund looks like lord Ganesh where he bathes.

THE LEGEND OF GAURI KUND
Hinduism is Sanatana Dharma, according to its mythology there is a story about Gauri Kund or Parvati Kund which has been mentioned in the legend of Shiva Purana. The Puran says that Gauri Sarovar is for purification and compassion, it purifies the mind, body and speech of Kailash Yatri. So almost all the Yatri of Kailash Manasarovar tour include their tour program.

This Gauri Kund is for holy bath to Goddess Parvati Mata where Gauri Mata had acquired her beloved son Ganesh, she had molded a picture of her son Ganesh from a cleaning agent frothing on her body and resuscitated it. She placed Ganesh at the path to stop unknown to enter during her holy deep, at the same time Lord Shiva came to his residence Mt Kailash but Ganesh ji didn't recognize then Lord Shiva became furious and cuts off the kids head then Mata Parvati despairing stricken by seeing it and requested to Lord Shiva that child need to be brought again to the life restored so Parvati had her son back. This real story not only fascinates Kailash Yatri.

THE MEANING OR SIGNIFICANCE TO VISIT GAURI KUND.
The large number of Kailash Yatri visit this holy Kund during their Parikrama or Kora to purify their minds, body and speech by splashing the Jaal on their heads. They offer TARPANA and Jaal (holy water) to their ancestors to have peace in heaven. Many of them bring holy water from the Kund to their home.

Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered in the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. The best idea is to deliberately slow down all the activities and have the following suggestions in mind:

Relax-do not be excited, make rest if needed
Reduce talk time with each other during the journey
Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
Keep your load light.
Walk for 30 minutes and rest for 5 minutes
Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
Observe silence with smile.
Never go too high and too fast.
Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favorite music, Bhajans, chanting etc.
Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sightseeing together.
Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable.
