Mt Kailash Mansarovar Tours

Mt. Kailash (6,740m) is located to the north of the Himalayan barrier and fully within Tibet. This mountain is sacred center for four great religions: Hinduism, the Jain religion (an Indian religious group), Tibetan Buddhism and Bonpo – the pre- Buddhist animistic religion. Hindu believe Mt Kailash to be the abode of Lord Shiva and Manasarobar Lake, the soul of Brahma. According to legend, Lord Shiva lives at Kailash with his divine companion Parbati and smokes sacred herb marijuana (ganja). It is also believed to be the physical embodiment of the mythical Mt. Meru is said to be the heart of the universe.  For the Jains, Kailash is the place where their prophet achieved enlightenment. For Bonpo, it is the site where its founder Shanrab is said to have descended from heaven.
