Kailash Manasarovar Yatra

Himalayas, the abode of snow, is called the Lord of Mountains. Mount Kailash is situated to the northern side of the Himalayan barrier which is completely within Tibet and it is 6740 m high. It is a perfect mountain and is fabulous in its extra ordinary beauty. It is mainly the spiritual centre for people from four religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and pre-Buddhist animistic religion known as Bonpo. The journey of Kailash Manasarovar is done through a fixed route chosen by the governments of both India and Tibet. There is also another way of reaching there by flying to Kathmandu and from there driving to Manasarovar which is considered a much easy route. A drive to Zhangmu in Tibet is how the trip gets started by crossing the border of Nepal. A Land cruiser is taken from there to the holy lake of Manasarovar and Mount Kailash.
