Mt. KAILASH
Mt. Kailash (6714 m) - also known as Tise, Kailasa or
Kang Rinpoche (Jewel of the Snows) has since time immemorial been celebrated
in many Eastern cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis mundi. And as the center
of the physical & metaphysical universe, Mt. Meru is sacred to the Jains,
the Hindus, the Buddhists and the Bonpos. For the Hindus, the mountain
represents the seat of Shiva; for the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection of
the cosmic Mandala of Dyani Buddhas & Boddhisatvas....The Wheel of Life.
For the devout pilgrim a visit to Mt. Kailash & Lake
Manasorovar forms the ultimate realization of their spiritual pursuit in
life. And for the adventure lovers it offers ruggedness, excitement,
solitude & bliss. All trips are planned to arrive at Mt. Kailash on a full
moon day to give all participants a wholesome experience of a trip which may
be rightly termed `Once-in-a-lifetime'. |
