Mount Kailash or Kangri Rimpoche (6714m.) is a symbol of fortune and good luck to the devotees of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Bonpo. Most Hindus believe Mount Kailash to be the exclusive abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The first saint of Jain is said to have meditated on Mt. Kailash before attaining Liberation-Freedom. Buddhists consider Kailash and Manasarovar as auspicious sites where Buddha meditated for years before achieving enlightenment. It is believed that completing the pilgrimage to Kailash and Manasarovar, cleanses one from the clutches of ignorance & sins and helps attain salvation. Every year thousands of Buddhists, Hindus, Jain and Bonpo pilgrims from across the globe visit the holy Mt Kailash and Manasarovar Lake, situated in China's Autonomous Region of Tibet.
Circumambulating or making a Kora of Mt. Kailash/Kangri Rimpoche is possibly the most popular and pious activity among Tibetans and other pilgrims. According to Buddhist text, a complete kora of Mt. Kangri/Kailash at least one time allows one to attain enlightenment. Situated beside Mt Kailash is a pristine lake called Mapam Yumtso (4580m) or popularly known as Manasarovar. According to Sanskrit language, Manasarovar means Lake of Consciousness. The ancient mythologies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism speak of great monks, saints and priests spending time in Manasarovar for deep meditation and spiritual peace. For Hindu pilgrims, bathing in the lake and drinking of its water purge devotees from all the sins and attain “Moksha” or the ultimate salvation of life.

Seven or 11 Brahmins priests prepare for fire offering Hawan in Pavilion (Mandap) and do Sankalpa Pooja in the beginning followed by Swasti Vachan (Preaching), Nyas, Rudra preaching and Mahamritunjaya (Death victory) Pooja. 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 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.

Manasarovar information
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 Manasarovar 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.
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.
According to Hindu mythology, in Treta Yug the monster Ravana has made Lord Shiva happy by meditating in this Lake. Rachhes Lake lies in the west to Manasarovar Lake. It is situated at an altitude of 4,540meter above the sea level. In Manasarovar Lake, there are many birds including ducks but in Rakshas Lake there are no birds at all.

They exchange happiness on the completion of Pooja and Aarati (Butter lamps).

Mount Kailash
The Sacred religious place, Kailash Parbat is located on the height of 6714 meters above sea level. This region is supposed to be the most pure 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 Bajrapani 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 of Manasarovar is stored in the form of Lake

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 jee 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.
