Puja at Manasarovar Lake

Full moon Manasarovar Lake on 31 August 2023 (Janai Purnima)

Mt. Kang Rimpoche or Mt. Kailash (6714m.) is situated in the Tibet province of China. The mountain is part of the great Himalayan range and is considered a source of water for four biggest rivers of Asia: Yarlung Tsangpo, Karnali, Indus and Sutlej River. The peak which has never been climbed is a composite of snow and rock and has unique four steep faces at the top.

Located between Mt. Kangri and Mt. Gurla Mandata (7728m.) is the lake of Mapum Yumtso, or popularly known as Manasarovar, at an altitude of 4590m. The lake is spread in an area of 320 sq. km. and has a measured depth of 90m. The lake supports a rich biological diversity that includes rare plants, fishes, mammals and birds.

Both Kang (Kailash) and Mapum (Manasarovar) hold special religious significance among the followers of Bon, Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. For Bon followers, Kang Rimpoche is a pillar of universe and a sacred place where Guru Rimpoche is said to have attained enlightenment. Buddhists believe Kang Rimpoche as the meditating seat of Buddha. Likewise, Hindus consider Kailash as the abode of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati while Jain believe their first saint, Rishabhanath, achieved liberation/freedom after meditating atop the mountain.

Every year thousands of pilgrims as well as tourists visit Tibet to observe these two natural landmarks on the highest place on earth. To catch a glimpse of Kailash and Manasarovar allows the devotees to attain Mokshya or liberation and purge oneself of all sins. Hindus further believe that dipping in the Manasarovar Lake (Mapam Yumtso) provides a sure path to heaven. Tibetan Buddhists has an age old practice of making a Kora (circling) of Mt. Kang Rimpoche by prostrating, as an act of penance and ultimate sacrifice to achieve enlightenment. For booking our Kailash tour, please contact Monterosa Treks & Expedition. We are always here to assist you.

Mount Kailash Tour - Itinerary

22 August 2023 Day 01: As soon as you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, our staff will welcome you and escort you to the Hotel followed. You should arrive in Kathmandu before10:00 AM.  On the same day your passport and apply for Tibet visa for Kailash Manasarovar tour Yatra. Afternoon holy sightseeing in Saga and Doleshwar Mahadev.

Visit Doleshwor (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 Uttarkhand, 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.

Kailash Nath Mahadev Statue is the one of the tallest Shiva temple in Nepal. It is 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 utilizing copper, zinc, cement and steel. Evening Aarati Darshan in Pasupatinath as well as Aarati holy dance bank of holy river Baghmati front of Pasupatinath temple. Back to hotel and have a vegetarian buffet dinner.

23 August 2023 Day 02: 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 and Rudhiryoge Metal. It means there is pain, violence, greed among people in this Earth and we perform religious hymn in praise of God Shiva so that he escapes people from all these miseries of life and grants justice, good healthy, prosperity, peace and Salvation. This is why Rudri is done for Peaceful life. During Kailash tour, visit to 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 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 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 Kailash Pilgrimage. It is popular religious trend to wish for 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 Pasupatinath 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.

This Pooja is available only Hindu devotees. Other Religion are not allowed to enter main gets.

Lord Shiva’s 1st consort SATI DEVI offered by some insult of her husband Shiva dropped herself into YAGYAAKUND (A religious fire ceremony) Load Shiva’s retrieved her, fire burned corpse senseless him by  grief and flew to and fro across Nepal and the Indian subcontinent. SATI DEVI’s body scattered in 51 Saktipith. Guyeshori is a place where her secret part (GOPYA) vagina, some says her anus fell to which we call Guyeshori.

Brahmaputra is basically formed from the amalgamation of two rivers: One, flowing from Gangdici river of Himalayan Range and other is Tima Yangjong River flowing from Tibetan Himalayan Ranges and flow through Saga, Shigatse and other places at Tibet and ultimately gets mixed into the Gulf of Bengal.

Here we stop our van or bus and have our lunch. After lunch, driving continues, we reach at Hor near the holy Lake Manasarovar observing beautiful scenes and naked hills. From here, we can have the fantastic view of Manasarovar Lake, Mount Gurlamnadata and Kailash Parbat. This Manasarovar Lake circumambulation is of total 102 km distance. According to the local people, it takes three days to circumambulate for local residents but it takes 5 to 7 days for the tourists or pilgrims by walking.

This is the place called Hor and from here the circumambulation of Manasarovar Lake begins. We should travel via Blue Bus organized by Nangri Tourism Board from Hor to round Manasarovar Lake and further. It is strictly compulsory to travel by Blue Bus while circumambulating Manasarovar Lake. Its route starts from Hor and extends up to Chiu Monastery, Darchen, Yam Dwar and come back hor.

You can see 8 of Buddhist monasteries during the circumambulation and finally reach top hills and same time you can see Rakshas Lake and Manasarovar Lake. While stop some time and then drive to Darchen.

Manasarovar Lake
Manasarovar Lake, also known as Brahma’s Lake or Mapam Yum Tso 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 of 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 the 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 who 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 lively watch the 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 place, it is mentioned in Hindu religious books that all the Hindus must reach there at least once in their life time.

Rakshas Tal (Demon King Ravana Lake) Sarovar
This lake is named on the basis of Hindu traditional story. Hindu people believe that carnivorous monsters are hiding into the dark water. On the basis of this belief, people called it Rakshas Tal and stay 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. Late, 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 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 any birds at all.

Mount Kailash
The Scared religious place, Kailash Parbat is located on the height of 6714meters 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 the ancient Asian stories, the 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 are respecting 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 respects 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 got spiritual salvation in the same place.

There are various logics to claim this Parbat as sacred. This isolated Parbat is also 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 than 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 of 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 Rskshas 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.

Morning with breakfast or without, Pilgrims are not allowed taking holy dip into the Lake Manasarovar from 2018. Our staff put big tent for bath inside of tent by Manasarovar holy water. Staff will put drum inside water. After bath, pilgrimage offer Tarpan / holy water offering, flowers, money to the God and splashing water among each other with much joy and enthusiasm. Will be preparing for worship and Rudra Abhishek, Hawan, Aarati, chanting Shiva mantra by Nepal Braman Pandit which is providing our company Monterosa Treks and Expedition. All the pilgrims can do prey for Lord Shiva and reciting the names of their ancestral gods, performing Hawan (offering grains mixed with butter to the fire) in the name of gods, in order to relieve themselves from any kind of sins which they might have committed knowingly or unknowingly. Finish all spiritual activities and take Lunch, After Lunch, drive to Darchen and it is 40KM and takes 1 hour drive. Darchen is base camp of mount Kailash. From here starting Kailash circuit 53km starting and ending.  Overnight in Darchen.

28 August 2023 Day 07: Darchen to Dirapuk: This is the first day of Kailash Parikrama/Kora. Morning drive to Yam Dwar and start walking to Dirapuk (4890 meters/11 kilometers). We do start for Kailash circumambulation [kora] Circuit/Round/Parikrama from Yam Dwar. It takes 20 minutes for Blue bus to reach there as it is at the distance of only 6km. This place is also known as Yam Dwar. Getting off from the bus at Yam Dwar, all the pilgrims are offering to Lord Shiva. Then, we moved round the Yam Dwar for three times.

According to Hindu religion, this place is known as the Gate of the God of Death (Yam Dwar). Yam Dwar build shape of temple. Inside 3 bell hanging and its call Barma, Vishnu and Maheshowar. This temple make 3 time circuit enter inside of door. Belling and get out and continue walking or riding pony to Dirapuk first day of Parikrama. (Journey on foot begins from Yam Dwar) Physically disable pilgrims distantly pay homage to Kailash Parbat and return to Darchen because the visit of Yam Dwar is believed to get equally religious gain as they do for Kailash Parbat itself. This path/trail is somehow busy with pilgrims, horses, local porters, yaks and Nepali workers.

After 3 hours long walking along the riverside path we stopped for our lunch sport. Kailash Parbat is can be see clearly from here. Below the Parbat we can see a big stone in the shape of elephant. It is believed that god Indra rides on it. After 2 hours long walk we can reach to Dirapuk. There is a Dirapuk Monastery situated on the edge of Lha Chhu River. The name of this place is given from the name of Monastery itself. This Monastery is located on the height of 4900m. above sea level. The scene of Kailash from here is like the heaven. Hundreds of pilgrims arrive at Dirapuk from Yam Dwar riding on the horse or on their foot every day.

Here some Yatri prefer to take pony & local porter for the 3 days. (If you would like to take pony and porter, you should tell the Tibetan guide in advance for arrangement. This day, today have to walk continuously for about 5 to 6 hours. Yak will carry all our goods and equipment and your bags. From Dirapuk, you can see north face of Mt. Kailash very closed, overnight stay at Dirapuk mud house/ guesthouse.

29 August 2023 Day 08: After breakfast, Pilgrims walk for 4 hours (4kms) from Dirapuk to touch the feet of Mount Kailash which is known as Charan Sparsh. They feel like they have been blessed by Lord Shiva by actually touching the base of Kailash Mountain. Pilgrims offer Pooja and seek blessing from lord Shiva. While returning back, takes around one and half hour to 2 hours and it is day tour / Yatra from Dirapuk.

“Charan” means “feet” and “Sparsh” means “to touch”. Together they meaning to touch one’s feet”. It has been a tradition since time immemorial to touch the feet of Kailash Parbat. There is a scientific basis to “Charan Sparsh”. Since the human body is releasing vibrations touching the feet which encourages flow of energy and blessings, happiness and successful life. This exchange of energy gives one vigor, self-confidence and contentment. One experiences an inner glow. The blessings received after “Charan Sparsh” are like invisible amour. They motivate and give strength.

30 August 2023 Day 09: Walking from Dirapuk to Zuthulpuk (4790 meters - 21 kilometers). This is an important day as we have to cross highest pass called Dolma La or Dorma La Pass, which is 5636 meters above the sea level. Weather is unpredictable with imminent snowstorm so it's important to start our journey as early as possible. When we come down about 10 minutes from Dolma La pass, on the right hand side you could see holy lake called PARVATI KUND, we need to go steep down till Shapje Datok and then onto Zuthulpuk monastery. Again, our night stay will be at a mud house or guest house.

GANESH KUND (SAROVAR)
 About 45 minutes before to reach to Dolma La pass 5636m. (Kailash circuit) on right hand side of the walking trail, there is holy Ganesh Kund. It is 15 minute away from 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 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 purify 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 cleaning agent frothing on her body and resuscitates 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. This real story not only fascinates Kailash tour Yatri.
