Full moon in Manasarovar on 10 July 2025 (Guru Purnima)
Since 2010 AD, Nangri Gunsa Airport (Ali Airport) has served both the general public and the military base in Tibet. Located at 4274m. above sea level, it is the world's fourth highest altitude airport. A two-hour flight from Ali Airport takes us to Lhasa, which is just 200 kilometers from Lake Manasarovar. The Ali Airport is conveniently located for a flight to Lhasa on China Airlines. The Kailash region is a popular pilgrimage destination for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bonpo worldwide. Mount Kailash (6714m.) situated at China’s autonomous region of Tibet is a mysterious peak which is worshiped as a dwelling of Gods and Goddesses. The entire universe is also believed to be saved by it.
According to Hindu belief, Mount Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati. It is an ultimate way to attain salvation for Hindus to make the arduous pilgrimage to Kailash and circumambulate the Kailash Parvat called Kailash Kora. Similarly, Buddhists worship Mount Kailash as a shrine to Lord Shakyamuni and often refer to it as Kang Rimpoche. Their great guru attained liberation at Kailash Parvat, according to the Jains. Kailash Parvat is considered to be a jewel of snow in the Tibetan religion Bonpo. Kailash region has become awe-inspiring to the rest of the world due to its religious significance and beauty. When performing Kailash Kora, you must walk 38 km of the 53 km circumference of Kailash Parvat on foot. Kailash's diverse flora and fauna, as well as its natural beauty, remove all fear and pain from pilgrims. Pilgrims can also experience real inner peace while circumambulating Lake Manasarovar. Thousands of devotees, Lamas, Saints and pilgrims visit Kailash and Manasarovar every year to show their devotion and respect.

HEALTH PRE-CAUTION
Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered over 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. Some of symptoms indicate that the body mechanism is readjusting to new environments. The best idea is deliberately slow down all the activities and follows the following rules
- Relax-do not exerts, be excited, make rest

- 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.
