Full moon Night Manasarovar on 09 August 2025 Janai Purnima)
Ngari Gunsa Airport of Tibet has been serving both military and civilian purposes since 2010 AD. Located in the town of Shiquanhe (Ali) in Ngari Prefecture, this airport has an altitude of 4274m., making it the fourth highest airport. From Ali Airport, you can reach Lhasa in just two hours, and you can drive 300 km to the holy Manasarovar Lake. Kailash Parvat (6714m.) is the dwelling place of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, located just north of Manasarovar. This region is a popular pilgrimage site for followers of four different religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bonpo. The Mount Kailash Manasarovar is worshipped by Hindus as the dwelling of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati. Its height is 6714 meters and its circumference is 53 kilometers. People from all over the world do Kailash Parikrama, which is a circumambulation around the mountain.
From this snow-capped peak originate the four great rivers of Asia, the Brahmaputra, Ganges, Indus and Sutlej. According to Hindu belief, pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Manasarovar Lake is the best way to get rid of all known and unknown sins ever committed in life with the blessing of salvation from Lord Shiva. Buddhists worship Mount Kailash as Lord Shakyamuni's meditating spot. The Buddhist symbol "Swastika" on Mount Kailash's southern side has elevated the spiritual significance of Manasarovar. Symbolizing good fortune, it is regarded as a lucky charm. Our holy Kailash trip began in Kathmandu with a flight to Lhasa and a drive to Kailash Manasarovar. Following Kora, we will spend one night at Darchen, then travel to Ali the next morning
