Mount
Kailash Via Zhangmu (21 days)
Mt. Kailash. It is the ultimate
pilgrimage site for both Buddhist
and Hindu devotes. Mt. Kailash (22,022')
stands completely alone with no
other peaks near it. Pilgrims travel
to this remote area in far western
Tibet to complete the circuit around
the base of this sacred mountain
(to do so is said to erase the sins
of a lifetime) and to the holy Mansarover
Lake. Four great rivers of Tibet,
India and Nepal have their origins
near Kailash; the Tibetians consider
these rivers and their sources sacred.

From
Kathmandu, we will drive through
the lovely countryside of northern
Nepal to the Nepali - Chinese border
at Kodari. We cross the Friendship
Bridge and drive into Tibet to Zhangmu
and on to Nyalm in southern Tibet
for a day of hiking and acclimatization.
You will have your first experience
of the vastness of the Tibetan Plateau
as we travel north crossing the
Brahmaputra River to Saga.
We
will pass numerous nomadic encampments
until finally we arrive in Darchen,
the starting point for our 3-day
circuit of Mt. Kailash trekking
around the mountain. |
