Mt Kailash (6638m) is one of the most sacred pilgrimages for Hindus all over the world. Mt Kailash is situated near Lake Mansarovar and the Lake Rakshastal. Believed by devotees to be the abode of Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati, Mt Kailash is visited by thousands of devotees over the year. According to mythology, Lord Shiva had spent his time in Kailash meditating and smoking sacred marijuana.
Mt Kailash tour offers a unique combination of natural beauty with spiritual and religious significance. The Great Adventure Treks provide an exclusive helicopter tour of Mt Kailash for your comfort. In fact, a specially chartered helicopter from Simikot will take you to Hilsa in the Tibet-Nepal border. From there you will drive to Mansarovar and complete the pilgrimage.
Due to several religious reasons, Mt. Kailash is not open to the summit. Generally, people visit it as a 52 km long walking circuit. There is a myth that the visit to this holy site will release a person from the trappings of delusion and worldly things and relations. Many saints and sacred gurus have practiced tantric yoga in their quest of attaining enlightenment.

After the tour of Mt Kailash, devotees take a plunge at the nearby lake Mansarovar. In particular, the Lake Mansarovar means the lake of consciousness.

Reviews
Good experience in Buthan tour
I joined the tour of Buthan for 3 nights. Although the price is high because I am in a solo trip, the quality is good! Buthan is the cleanest country in the world! You don’t need to worry about anything just be happy and excited to join the tour! I just went for 3nights-tour, but I did visit Paro, Thimpu, Punakha ! Although not every sighting sites that would visit, the important sites would not miss! This is my second time join the tour in this travel agency, and I was satiated with it every time ! They will handle everything well.
