Kailash Mansarovar tour with Everest base camp August 2025

Manasarovar is also known as Mapam Yumtso and is located at 4,600 meters in Kailash area Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is near the western trijunction of China and Nepal.

Mount Kailash is a legendary mountain situated at an altitude of 6,714 meter above sea level. The four prominent holy rivers of Asia namely, The Brahmaputra, The Indus, The Ganges and The Sutlej River have been originated from this holy peak. According to Hinduism, it is an abode of Hindu God, Lord Shiva, the destroyer of ignorance and illusion. To make the strenuous pilgrimage to Kailash and have the Darshan (divine view) of Shiva’s abode is to get rid of the vices of life and attain Mokshya. Ultimate Salvation for Hindu people.

Jains worship this black bulky peak as ‘Mount Meru’ or ‘Mount Sumeru’ where their first saint obtained Nirvana: Liberation. For Buddhists, it is the home of Lord Buddha and Bon Po (Tibetan indigenous religious people) call it the savior of entire universe. Hence, Mount Kailash, situated in China’s autonomous region of Tibet is a world famous pilgrimage destination. Every year, thousands of devotes come to Kailash region via route of Nepal.

Manasarovar (4,580m) is another popular pilgrimage for devotees. Its water is considered to be the purest form of water with the power of healing. The name of this Lake has been derived from Sanskrit language, meaning ‘Consciousness of Mind’. According to Buddhist, Lord Buddha meditated nearby this mysterious lake and obtained Enlightenment. So, it is also called the ‘Lake of Enlightenment’. To the west of this Lake is Rakshas Tal (Demon king Ravana Lake) and to the north is Holy Mount Kailash. As per Hindu religious scriptures, this lake was first created in the mind of Lord Brahma after which it manifested on Earth. Taking holy dip into its cold water is believed to rinse off all sins. Pilgrims circumambulate this sacred Lake even accepting arduous walk of 4 to 5 days with the belief of attaining Nirvana (escape from the chain of this mortal life). After accomplishing Kailash Yatra, travelers also wish to visit Everest Base camp from Tibet Side.

The root of the world’s tallest summit, Mount Everest base camp (5200m.), is a dream destination for the tourist/ visitor and Kailash Yatri. The mesmerizing views of snowy Himalayan peaks, beautiful landscape and an overview of typical Tibetan Sherpa culture can entice every traveler visiting there. But it is not an easy place to reach because of unpredictable weather conditions, tough landscape, rocky mountain trails and slippery paths covered with snow. But also many people get enroll in this journey with the aim of taking back unforgettable memories for their lifetime.

The statue is 144 feet / 44m., in tallness, and was influenced utilizing copper, zinc, cement and steel. After Saga drive to Doleshwor Mahadev Temple for Darshan.

Visit Doleshwor (Doleshwor Mahadev Temple) for all the Shiva devotees, it is believed that the trip to Kailash Manasarovar is incomplete without visiting Doleshwor Mahadev and Pashupatinath temple. On Aug. 22, 2009, the Doleshwor Mahadev was officially declared as the head of Kedarnath, one of the Char Dham Yatra. All in the year 2013, after the devastating flood hit the temple of Kedarnath, situated in Uttarkhand, the regular prayers that were interrupted were carried out in Doleshwor Temple. The head priest of Kedarnath Temple requested regular prayers that used to be held in the Kedarnath Temple to be held in the Doleshwor Mahadev Temple. Back to the hotel and take lunch. After lunch, visit Buddhist temple in Buddha.

Buddhist Temple Boudhanath Stupa: Named after its immense stupa, Buddha is a pilgrimage destination for Tibetans. Devotees stroll around the gleaming white dome adorned with painted Buddha eyes and visit nearby monasteries and schools for prayers and seminars. Boudhanath is a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. Located about 10 km from the center and northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, the stupa's massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal. The Buddha Stupa dominates the skyline; it is one of the largest stupas in the World. The glory of Kathmandu Valley is said to have started from this point. Drive to Guhyeshori Shaktipeeth temple.

Visit Gujeswari / Guhyeshori Shaktipeeth temple. Among Astha Matrilas (Eight mother Goddesses) she is mother of all. She is worshiped by Hindu and Buddhist both. According to Pauranik Katha Hindu legend. Lord Shiva’s 1st consort SATI DEVI offered by some insult of her husband Shiva dropped herself into YAGYAA KUND (A religious fire ceremony) Load Shiva’s retrieved her, fire burned corpse senseless him by grief and flew to and fro across Nepal and the Indian subcontinent.

31 July 2025 Day 03: Early in the morning, Kailash pilgrims are taken to Pashupatinath temple for Rudra Consecration called Rudrabhishek, Hawan and Aarati. 11 Brahmins priests prepare for fire offering Hawan in Pavilion (Mandap) and do Sankalpa Pooja in the beginning followed by Swasti Vachan (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 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 Manasarovar is one of the most important pilgrimage sites. Kailash is pilgrimaging 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, Rudrasha mala, flower garland and a lamp. Devotee offers it to the priest.

This Pooja is available only Hindu devotees. Other religions are not allowed to enter the main gates.

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, 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.

According to the local people, it takes three days to circumambulate for local residents but it takes 5 days for the tourists or pilgrims by walking. This is the place called Hor and from here the circumambulation of Manasarovar begins. We should travel via Blue Bus organized by Nangri Tourism Board from Hor to round Manasarovar and further. During the absence of the blue bus, the same bus that travels from the Kerung border will continue. From Hor, it goes to Chiu Monastery, Darchen, Yam Dwar and then returns to Hor. We will make a half complete rotation of Manasarovar Lake in about 2 to 3 hours.

Manasarovar information
Manasarovar also known as Brahma’s Lake or Mapam Yumtso Lake Tibetan is situated at an elevation of 4850 meters 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 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 and baths with its pure water, reaches 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. Brahmaputra River flows from eastward of the Manasarovar. So, many people want to visit Kailash Parbat and Manasarovar 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 AM to 4 AM in this Lake as well as stars also come for bath in Manasarovar. It is said that pilgrims who stay at this place at night; they can live and watch 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 covers a very large area that is pure, it is mentioned in Hindu religious books that all the Hindus must reach there at least once in their lifetime.

Rakshas Tal (Demon King Ravana Lake) Sarovar
This Lake is named on the basis of Hindu traditional history. Hindu people believe that carnivorous monsters are hiding in the dark water. On the basis of this belief, people called it Rakshas Tal and stayed 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. Later, 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 by meditating in this Lake. Rakshas Lake lies in the west to Manasarovar. It is situated at an altitude of 4,540meters above the sea level. In Manasarovar, there are many birds including ducks but in Rakshas Lake there are no birds at all.

Mount Kailash
The Sacred religious place, Kailash Parbat is located on the height of 6714 meters 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 ancient Asian stories, 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 respect 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 respect it in the name of Kang Rimpoche. Buddhists have accepted Kailash and Manasarovar 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 Rishavadev had received spiritual salvation in the same place.

There are various logics to claim this Parbat as sacred. This isolated Parbat is also a source to big Rivers like, Yarlung Jumbo, Brahmaputra, Sutlej, 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 then 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 to 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. 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. Time you can see Rakshas Lake and Manasarovar Lake. Drive to Darchen for overnight

06 August 2025 Day 09: Darchen to 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 build 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. (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 Mount Kailash very closed overnight stay at Dirapuk mud house / guesthouse.

07 August 2025 Day 10: After breakfast, Pilgrims walk for 4 hours (4 km) 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 blessings from lord Shiva. While returning back, it takes around one and half hours to 2 hours and it is a day tour / Yatra from Dirapuk.

“Charan” means “feet” and “Sparsh” means “to touch”. Together they mean 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.

08 August 2025 Day 11: Drive from Dirapuk to Zuthulpuk (4790 meters - 22 kilometers). This is an important day as we have to pass Dolma La or Dorma La Pass, which is 5636 meters above sea level. Weather is unpredictable with an imminent snowstorm so it’s important to start our journey as early as possible. Following the pass, we need to go steep down till Shapje Datok and then flat walking onto Zuthulpuk monastery. Again, our night stay will be at a mud house or Basic guesthouse.

GANESH KUND (SAROVAR)
About 45 minutes before reaching Dolma La Pass 5636m. (Kailash circuit) on the right hand side of the walking trail, there is holy Ganesh Kund. It is 15 minutes away from the walking trail. The shape of the Kund looks like lord Ganesh where he bathes.

THE LEGEND OF GAURI KUND
Hinduism is Sanatana Dharma, according to its mythology there is a story about Gauri Kund which has been mentioned in the legend of Shiva Purana. The Puran says that Gauri Sarovar is for purification and compassion, it purifies the mind, body and speech of Kailash Yatri. So almost all the Yatri of Kailash Manasarovar tour include their tour program.

This Gauri Kund is for holy bath to Goddess Parvati Mata where Gauri Mata had acquired her beloved son Ganesh, she had molded a picture of her son Ganesh from a cleaning agent frothing on her body and resuscitated it. She placed Ganesh at the path to stop unknown to enter during her holy deep, at the same time Lord Shiva came to his residence Mount Kailash but Ganesh jee didn't recognize then Lord Shiva became furious and cuts off the kids head then Mata Parvati despairing stricken by seeing it and requested to Lord Shiva that child need to be brought again to the life restored so Parvati had her son back. This real story not only fascinates Kailash tour Yatri.

THE MEANING OR SIGNIFICANCE TO VISIT GAURI KUND.
The large number of Kailash Yatri visit this holy Kund during their Parikrama or Kora to purify their minds, body and speech by splashing the Jaal on their heads. They offer TARPANA and Jaal (holy water) to their ancestors to have peace in heaven. Many of them bring holy water from the Kund to their home.
