The Kailash Manasarovar Yatra is an important pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers. It includes visiting Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in China’s Tibet Autonomous Region. Mount Kailash holds a strong religious importance for the Omkar family. People consider it a religious region. Hindus believe it as Lord Shiva’s home. Buddhists say it is the abode of Demchok, the embodiment of absolute happiness. Jains believe it is the location where their first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, acquired enlightenment. It is the spiritual center of the Bon religion, which is unique to Tibet.
Mount Kailash is approximately 6,638 meters (21,778 ft) high and remains unclimbed. It’s a magnificent mountain with a distinctive pyramid form. Lake Manasarovar, on the other hand, is thought to be the personification of purity, purifying individuals who drink or bathe in its waters. It is also an important pilgrimage destination for Buddhists. The lake lies at the altitude of 4,590 meters (15,060 feet), is among the world’s highest freshwater lakes. It locates close to the Sutlej River’s source.
Parikrama (Circumambulation) is a pilgrimage ceremony that spans the 52-kilometer (32-mile) trip around Mount Kailash, also known as the parikrama or kora, and is regarded one of the holiest deeds a pilgrim may accomplish. It usually takes three days to finish. During the Kora, pilgrims pass the Dolma La Pass, the parikrama’s highest point at 5,636 meters (18,525 ft). This stage of the trip is both tough and spiritually fulfilling.
The serene monasteries of Chiu Gompa, Dirapuk, and Zutulpuk provide stunning views of Lake Manasarovar, a favorite spot for meditation and introspection.
Pilgrims pass the Sacred Pond of Gauri Kunda on the way down from Dolma La Pass. This little lake has its own significance for its sacredness, particularly in Hinduism, where it links with the goddess Parvati.
Asthapad, which means ‘Eight Steps’, is significant to Jains since it is where their first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, is said to have gained Nirvana.
There are two primary routes for this journey from Nepal. One via Kathmandu and the other via Simikot. The route via Kerung is currently operational on a daily basis. The tour starts in Kathmandu. As an alternate route from Nepal, many people opt to fly to Simikot and then hike to Tibet or the Kailash region. India operates the Yatra from Lipulake pass and Sikkim routes.
The Kailash Manasarova Yatra usually takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the route and the individual’s speed. The voyage is grueling, with high heights, difficult terrain, and terrible weather conditions. Acclimatization is critical to avoiding altitude sickness.
To visit Tibet and take part in the pilgrimage, specific permissions and visas are required. Participants must be physically fit and may undergo medical examinations before commencing the yatra. Pilgrims require proper physical exercise, hiking equipment, warm clothes, and other necessities to complete the Yatra.
Pilgrims frequently complete circumambulation (parikrama) around Mount Kailash during their Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, which takes many days. Bathing in the waters of Lake Manasarovar is another significant rite. The yatra offers a unique opportunity to engage with other pilgrims and feel a feeling of community and spirituality. Infrastructure and amenities along pilgrimage routes have been improved to accommodate a rising number of pilgrims. Both the Nepalese and Chinese governments are taking their efforts to accommodate the pilgrimage by assuring safety and providing required amenities.
The Kailash Manasarovar Yatra is a life-changing journey for many people, combining physical endurance with profound spiritual fulfillment.
