Sacred Sites in the Kailash Region

Mt Kailash, Manasarovar lake and Trita Puri Land are the three most sacred sights in the Kailash region. The Tibetans pilgrims don't like to miss any of the sights once they are on the journey.

Mt Kailash

Millions of people believe in the holiness of the Mt Kailash but a group of devotees have own reasons to worship to the same mountain. Buddhism, Bonism, Hinduism, and Jainism are the religions, which have a special place for Mt Kailash .

Pilgrims and tourists do "Kora": walk clockwise or anticlockwise around the holy Mountain, and hear the stories of how Milarepa, a most respected Buddhist practitationer, and Naro Bon Chung, a most well known Bon master, competed magical power for the ownership of Mt Kailash.

There are three four are monasteries, four Buddha's foot-prints, and four sky-burial places at the 52 kilometers distant around Kailash and at an altitude 6,638 meters.

Manasarovar Lake

is one of the two lakes next to Mt Kailash, which is regarded as the water of the cleansing from impurities and indulging with bliss.

Tibetans pilgrims walk and prostrate around the holy lake as a way of Buddhist practice. The lake covers 412 square kilometers at an altitude of 4588 meters

The monasteries provide lodging and catering for pilgrims and tourists! No need to take drinking water because the water from the lake is drinkable!!

Trita Puri land

Trita Puri is mainly a Buddhist site to pay homage to Dorjee Pegmo (Vajrayogini): the divine consort of Chakrasamvara (Tib. Dechog).

Buddhists claim that Trita Puri is the origin of Tantric tradition of Tibetan Buddhism because it is believed where the most furious devil Mata Ruta was tvanquished.

Hot bath in the hotspring of Trita Puri would be a reward for pilgrims and tourists!!
