Highlights

Overview

Highlight of the Simikot to Mount Kailash and Lhasa Tour is to trek around the Mt. Kailash and visit the former Gu-ge kingdom with its two main centres of Toling and Tsaparang and visit to Rakshastal (Devil Lake), the holy Lake of Mansarovar, "born from the mind of Bramha"
 
This trip is a pilgrimage trip to Mt. Kailash the sacred mountain of Tibet, sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists. Mt Kaliash is the source of four great Asian rivers. For Hindus it is the throne of Shiva, for Buddhists, a gigantic natural Mandala. Also the epicenter of Tantric forces for both religions.
 
This trek takes you from the far western town of Simikot, along an old trade route into Tibet. An arid, wild, country dominated by the peaks of Api and Saipal Himal, this is the world of the Nepalese and Tibetan traders. You will encounter travelers with horses and yaks laden with goods. After a few days trek on the Nepal side we take you to Tibetan border market Purang where Nepalese, Tibetan and Indian traders meet to exchange wares.
