Pilgrimage Tour
Simikot Mt. Kailash Simikot
(Entry from Sher and exit from Sher -
31 days)
A pilgrimage to Mt. Kailash, the sacred mountain
of Tibet is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists.
Mt Kaliash is the source of four great asian rivers.
For Hindus it is the throne of Shiva, for Buddhists,
a gigantic natural Mandala. Also the epicenter
of Tantric forces for both religions. This trek
takes you from the far western town of Simikot,
along an old trade route into Tibet. An arid,
wild, country dominated by the peaks of Api and
Saipal Himal, this is the world of the Nepalese
and Tibetan traders. You will encounter travelers
with horses and yaks laden with goods. After a
few days trek on the Nepal side we take you to
Tibetan border market Purang where Nepalese, Tibetan
and Indian traders meet to exchange wares. The
highlight of the trip is to visit Rakshastal (Devil
Lake), the holy Lake of Mansarovar, "born from
the mind of Bramha", trek around the Mt. Kailash
and visit the former Gu-ge kingdom with its two
main centres of Toling and Tsaparang.
Your trip preparation:

in the fact basis however can be changed in some
circumstances but adjustments will have to made
during the trekking. We request you to be flexible
