 Mount Kailash; supremely sacred mountain, described in ancient texts as a fantastic ëworld pillarí 84,000 miles high reaching from heaven to hell and around which all else revolves. Below it gleams the deep blue of Lake Mansarovar, where a ritual bath will deliver a pilgrim to Brahmaís paradise and a drink of its waters relinquishes the sins of a hundred lifetimes. Our tour begins with a breathtaking flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa, the ëforbidden cityí, where we spend two full days sightseeing and acclimatizing in preparation for our overland journey to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar before returning to Kathmandu by road.
