About Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Tour

Mount Kailash rises to 6714 m, in one of the highest and most rugged parts of the Himalayas in Tibet. Made up of black rocks, the symmetrical peak has a distinctive diamond like shape with four steep facades. The land scape around the mountain is rough and dry. Mt.Kailash lies near the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia, such as the Indus river, Sutlej river and Brahmaputra river. Next to the mountain are two scared lakes; the most sacred one is the Lake Manasarowar and the other is Rakshas Tal.

Manasorwar is believed to be the lake formed in the mind of God, created to show the omnipotence of the mind of Brahma. This is why bathing in the lake and drinking in its water is a purifying process for Hindus and a way of reaching the Brahman paradise. Just one drop of water from the serenely beautiful Manasarovar is said to set one free from the contaminations of the poisonous world.

Tibet is the highest region on earth, with an average elevation of 4,900 metres (16,000 ft.).

If you take common routes, such as Chengdu - Lhasa (Air) or Kathmandu Lhasa foreign travellers must buy both the permit and the ticket together through a travel agency who provide the travel permit.
