Pilgrimage of Mount Kailash & Mansarovar

Mount Kailash, located in western Tibet, is revered as the holiest mountain by Asia’s major religious traditions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. It is not only a spiritual epicenter but also the origin of Asia’s four major rivers—Indus, Brahmaputra, Sutlej, and Karnali. These rivers flow in the four cardinal directions, nurturing civilizations as they journey through the region.

In the past, Mount Kailash was out of reach for most due to its remote location and restricted borders, despite its immense cultural and natural significance. However, recent developments have made this sacred region more accessible. Improved road infrastructure in Tibet, enhanced air connectivity in Nepal, and supportive government policies now allow visitors to embark on this journey with ease and comfort.

Helicopter services from Humla in western Nepal have further shortened the route, making it convenient for pilgrims to reach Mount Kailash.
