There are 144 feet / 44 meters of height on the statue and it was influenced by copper, zinc, cement, and steel. Today, this place is very popular around the World and devotees come here every day to pray and see the holy site. Our company has also included a program for holy sightseeing in Kathmandu in its program so far. Visit Kailashnath and drive to Doleshwor Mahadev for Darshan and Pray for Kailash Manasarovar Yatra / tour.

Visit Doleshwor / Doleshwor Mahadev. It is believed that a trip to Kailash Manasarovar is incomplete without visiting Doleshwor Mahadev and Pashupatinath temples in Kathmandu, Nepal. During the Char Dham Yatra, Doleshwor Mahadev was officially declared the head of Kedarnath. After the devastating flood hit the temple of Kedarnath, located in Uttarakhand, in 2013, the regular prayers at Doleshwar Temple were interrupted. It was requested by the Kedarnath Temple head priest that regular prayers be held in the Doleshwor Mahadev Temple instead of Kedarnath Temple.  Thus, this day has become very popular with Hindu deities and they come here to pay and to get their darshan for happiness.  After lunch, visit Boudhanath Buddha Temple and Sakti pith Gujeswari

Buddhist Temple Boudhanath Stupa:   For Tibetans, Buddha is a pilgrimage destination named after its immense stupa. In addition to praying and attending seminars in nearby monasteries, devotees stroll around the gleaming white dome adorned with painted Buddha eyes. Kathmandu's Boudhanath stupa is one of Nepal's most famous attractions. Nepal's largest spherical stupa, the stupa is located about 10 km from Kathmandu's city center and northeastern outskirts. One of the world's largest stupas, the Buddha Stupa dominates the skyline. Why do we want to show you the Buddhist temple Boudhanath? This is because it believes Buddha is one of the nine carnations of Vishnu. UNESCO has included the Buddha stupa in its list of world heritage sites. In the afternoon, visit Sakti pith Gujeswari mata after Boudhanath.

Visit Gujeswari / Guhyeahwari: This temple is located in one KM far from Pashupatinath temple east side She is the mother of all the Astha Matrilas (Eight mother Goddesses). There are two types of worshipers of her: Hindus and Buddhists. This is according to the Hindu legend of Pauranik Katha. The 1st consort of Lord Shiva, SATI DEVI, dropped herself into YAGYAAKUND (a religious fire ceremony) and Shiva retrieved her, burned his corpse senseless out of grief and flew across Nepal and India. There is 51 Shakti Peeth where SATI DEVI's body is scattered. Guhyeahwari is the place where her secret part (GOPYA) vagina falls to which we call Guhyeahwari. In addition, she protects the deities of Kathmandu valley.

05 June 2025 Day 03: Early in the morning, Kailash pilgrims are taken to Pashupatinath temple for Rudra Consecration called Rudra Abhishek, Hawan, and Aarati. Eleven Brahmins priests prepare for fire offering Hawan in Pavilion (Mandap) and do Sankalpa Pooja in the beginning followed by Swastibachan (Preaching), Nyas, Rudra preaching and Mahamritunjaya (Death victory) Pooja.

The word ‘Rudra’, meaning ‘Fearful Lord Shiva’ has come from Rudrabhishek, Rudranti Iti Rudri, and Rudhiryoge Metal. It means there is pain, violence, greed among people on this Earth and we perform religious hymns in praise of God Shiva so that he escapes people from all these miseries of life and grants justice, good health, prosperity, peace and Salvation. This is why Rudri is done for Peaceful life. During the Kailash Manasarovar tour, visiting Pashupatinath and its worship is the first thing to do for pilgrims. It is believed that worshipping Lord Pashupatinath, doing Aarati grants all kinds of good merits to devotees. This is why the Kailash Tour is believed to be complete only after a holy visit to Pashupatinath.

Kailash Mansarovar is one of the most important pilgrimage sites. Kailash is a pilgrimage even 12 Jyothirlinga and Shiva Temples. In this Universe, Humans are superior to Soul, Sages are superior to Humans, Gods are superior to sages and Lord Shiva is superior even to Gods and Kailash is the dwelling place of supreme Lord Shiva. So, every pilgrimage is believed to be incomplete without the Kailash Pilgrimage. It is a popular religious trend to wish for a successful Kailash Tour by doing Rudra (Shiva’s idol) Consecration and fire offering (Hawan) to Lord Pashupatinath, which takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.

After Rudrabhishek, join Panchamrit Pooja in Pashupatinath temple every day 9:30 AM to 11 AM Bhatta pujari. Offering available in the temple but it is a payable Pooja and with Pooja Thali, milk, Rudrachhe mala, honey, Ghee, Sugar, flower garland and a lamp. Devotee offers it to the priest. By offering Panchamrit Pooja for load Pashupatinath fulfills all the desired wishes for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra / tour.  The ceremony ends after getting Prasad and Rudrashas mala. This Pooja is available only for Hindu devotees. Other religions are not allowed to enter main gets.

Afternoon around 2:00 PM start sightseeing with a holy guide to Budhanilkantha (Jal Narayan) Vishnu Temple located in Budhanilkantha, Nepal, is a Hindu open-air temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Budhanilkantha Temple is situated below the Shivapuri Hill at the northern end of the Kathmandu valley & can be identified by a large reclining statue of Lord Vishnu.

Budhanilkantha(Jal Narayan), portrays a sleeping Vishnu, floating like a gigantic astronaut on a bed of snakes in the middle of a big pool of water depicting the cosmic ocean. The name Budhanilkantha has nothing to do with Buddha, but literally means “blue throat disguised by mud”. The peculiar name refers to two legends attached to the statue, one of them saying that a farmer found the long-lost statue in the mud when working his field with a plough and the other saying that Vishnu sacrificed himself by drinking the poison of the cosmic ocean, which then turned his throat blue.

Manasarovar Lake
Manasarovar Lake, also known as Brahma’s Lake or Mapam Yum Tso Lake is situated at an elevation of 4850 meter above sea level. The word “Manas” means mind or consciousness and Sarovar means Lake. It has held deep spiritual influence and wide religious values among Hindus & Buddhists. Making round of the Lake and taking a holy bath in it is believed to purge one’s soul from sins and the body from sickness. Ancient Hindu scriptures indicate this Lake as a must visit place for someone who wants to attain salvation - the highest level of achievement in Hindu religion. The cascading waves of the Lake in the wind look very charming.

As described in Ramayana, it is said that the person who moves around the Manasarovar Lake and baths with its pure water, reaches the heaven directly after death. Similarly, it is written that the person, who drinks the water of this lake, recognizes the “Shivalok” the palace of Lord Shiva. Kailash Parbat is situated about 58km. far in the north from Manasarovar Lake. Brahmaputra River flows from eastward of the Manasarovar Lake. So, many people who want to visit Kailash Parbat and Manasarovar Lake at least once in their life.

According to Hindu traditional hearsay, it is believed that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati take bath each day at 2 A.M. to 4 A.M. in this Lake as well as stars also come for bath in Manasarovar Lake. It is said that pilgrims who stay at this place at night; they can lively watch the God there. Mainly it is believed that people can see or visit the God Shiva and Goddess Parvati at the night of full moon. This Manasarovar Lake covers a very large area that is pure place, it is mentioned in Hindu religious books that all the Hindus must reach there at least once in their life time.

Rakshas Tal (Demon King Ravana Lake) Sarovar
This lake is named on the basis of Hindu traditional story. Hindu people believe that carnivorous monsters are hiding into the dark water. On the basis of this belief, people called it Rakshas Tal and stay away from this lake believing it as the symbol of dark and destructive power.

According to the traditional religious story, the water of this lake is poisonous and fatal. So, to replace the poisonous water of this lake a tunnel was made from Manasarovar Lake. The pure water of this lake and a golden fish was sent in this lake. Late, this fish was found alive. From it, people’s negative attitude towards the lake changed and they started to go nearer to it but they still don’t drink the water.

According to Hindu mythology, in Treta Yug the monster Ravana has made Lord Shiva happy meditating in this Lake. Rakshas Lake lies in the west to Manasarovar Lake. It is situated at an altitude of 4,540meter above the sea level. In Manasarovar Lake, there are many birds including ducks but in Rakshas Lake there are no any birds at all.

12 June 2025 Day 10: Morning with breakfast or without, Pilgrims are not allowed taking holy dip into the Lake Manasarovar from 2018. Our staff put big tent for holy bath inside of tent by Manasarovar holy water. Staff will put drum inside water. After bath, pilgrimage offer Tarpan / holy water offering, flowers, money to the God.

All the pilgrims can do prey for Lord Shiva and reciting the names of their ancestral gods, performing Hawan (offering grains mixed with butter to the fire) in the name of gods, in order to relieve themselves from any kind of sins which they might have committed knowingly or unknowingly. Finish all spiritual activities and take Lunch, After Lunch, drive to Darchen and it is 40KM far from Manasarovar Lake and it takes 1-hour drive. Darchen is base camp of mount Kailash. From here starting Kailash circuit 53km starting and ending.  Over night stay here in Darchen.

Mount Kailash
The Scared religious place, Kailash Parbat is located on the height of 6714meters above sea level. This region is supposed to be the purest religious place. It is supposed to be the central part of the world and origin of the world before the origin of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Kailash Parbat is glorified in the holy books like Ramayana and Mahabharata. According to the ancient Asian stories, the civilization is incomplete without the description of Kailash Parbat. Kailash Parbat is located in Tibet. Scientific research of this region is not satisfactory. This religious Parbat is extended from Brahmaputra in the east to Karakoram in the west.

Different religious groups like Shaiba, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Bon-Po are respecting Kailash equally, though they explained it differently. In the Shaiba and Buddhist traditional literature, Kailash is described as the part of Sumeru which is supposed to be the center of the world. It is believed to be the residence of Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati as per Hindus. Buddhist respects it in the name of Kang Rimpoche. Buddhists have accepted Kailash and Mansarovar as great natural Mandala. Mandala for them is the means of respect and salvation. Jains worship as Astpada for this isolated peak. The founding father of this religion Rishava Dev had got spiritual salvation in the same place.

There are various logics to claim this Parbat as sacred. This isolated Parbat is also source to big rivers like, Yarlung Janbo, Brahmaputra, Satlaj, Indus and Karnali. The total periphery of Mount Kailash is 53 km and pilgrims should walk 38 km within 3 days and if add Charan Sparsh (Touch Kailash) tour than it will be 4 days' kora. As described in Hindu myth, a person who moves around the Kailash Parbat, will be free from all the sins made in life time. If they move round the Parbat for 108 times, they directly get Nirvana. It is also said that a person who moves Nandi once, he/she gets return as equal of moving round the Kailash for 13 times.

Kailash Parvat is regarded as the form of Lord Shiva and the water flowing from its snowy tip is worshipped as holy river Ganges. Mount Kailash can be observed more beautifully from the side of this Monastery. Observing from Dirapuk, Mount Kailash is seen in between Mount Manjushree at right side and Mount Bajrapani at left side.

River Ganges, originated from Mount Kailash meets Lachhu River and gets mixed into Rakshas Lake. Every river formed from Kailash Himalayan Ranges gets mixed into Rakshas Lake. The river formed from the junction of Rakshas Lake is called Karnali. Water from Rakshas Lake escapes via Karnali River but water of Manasarovar is stored in the form of Lake.

13 June 2025 Day 11: Darchen to Yam Dwar & Dirapuk: This is the first day of Kailash Parikrama/Kora. Morning drive to Yam Dwar and start walking to Dirapuk (4890 meters /12 kilometers). We do start for Kailash circumambulation [kora] Circuit/Round/Parikrama from Yam Dwar. It takes 20 minutes for blue bus to reach there as it is at the distance of only 6km. This place is also known as Yam Dwar. Getting off from the bus at Yam Dwar, all the pilgrims are offering to Lord Shiva. Then, we moved round the Yam Dwar for three times. According to Hindu religion, this place is known as the Gate of the God of Death (Yam Dwar). Yam Dwar builds shape of temple. Inside 3 bells hanging and its call Barma, Vishnu and Maheshwar. This temple makes 3-time circuit enter inside of door. Belling and get out and continue walking or riding pony to Dirapuk first day of Parikrama (circuit). (Journey on foot begins from Yam Dwar) Physically disable pilgrims distantly pay homage to Kailash Parbat and return to Darchen because the visit of Yam Dwar is believed to get equally religious gain as they do for Kailash Parbat itself. This path/trail is somehow busy with pilgrims, horses, local porters, yaks and Nepali workers.

After 3 hours long walking along the riverside path, we stopped for our lunch sport. Kailash Parbat is can be seeing clearly from here. Below the Parbat we can see a big stone in the shape of elephant. It is believed that God Indra rides on it. After 2 hours long walk, we can reach to Dirapuk. There is a Dirapuk Monastery situated on the edge of Lha Chhu River. The name of this place is given from the name of Monastery itself. This Monastery is located on the height of 4900m. Above sea level. The scene of Kailash from here is like the heaven. Hundreds of pilgrims arrive at Dirapuk from Yam Dwar riding on the horse or on their foot every day.

Here some Yatri prefer to take pony & local porter for the 4 days. (If you would like to take pony and porter), you should tell the Tibetan guide in advance for arrangement. This day, today have to walk continuously for about 5 to 6 hours. Yak will carry all our goods and equipment and your bags. From Dirapuk, you can see north face of Mt. Kailash very closed, overnight stay at Dirapuk mud house/ guesthouse.

14 June 2025 Day 12: After breakfast, Pilgrims Walk for 4 hours (6kms) from Dirapuk to touch the feet of Mount Kailash which is known as Charan Sparsh. They feel like they have been blessed by Lord Shiva by actually touching the base of Kailash Mountain. Pilgrims offer Pooja and seek blessing from lord Shiva. While returning back, takes around one and half hour to 2 hours and it is day tour / Yatra from Dirapuk.

“Charan” means “feet” and “Sparsh” means “to touch”. Together they meaning to touch one’s feet”. It has been a tradition since time immemorial to touch the feet of Kailash Parbat. There is a scientific basis to “Charan Sparsh”. Since the human body is releasing vibrations touching the feet which encourages flow of energy and blessings, happiness and successful life. This exchange of energy gives one vigor, self-confidence and contentment. One experiences an inner glow. The blessings received after “Charan Sparsh” are like invisible amour. They motivate and give strength.
