Hindu believe to be the home of lord SHIVA, whereas the Tibetan Buddhist call it kangri Rinpoche “precious snow mountain” and Bonn believe it where their Master “Tirthankara Rishabhanatha” got enlightened.

Tibet stretches from two thousand kilometers from India in the west to China in the east and four thousand kilometers from Nepal in the south to China province Turkestan in the North. Four thousand meters above sea-level lies its average elevation. It is believed that lord Shiva transformed his knowledge and transmitted the science of evolving human consciousness and well-feeling to Shapta Rishi (seven Sage) here.

Circumnavigating Mount Kailash on foot, which is not considered as an easy task, is believed to bring good fortunes to the pilgrims and their beloveds. Pilgrims who can’t make it by foot they have a choice of riding horse and make a lifetime achievement. Lake Manasarovar is a holy lake, and it is believed that a dip in the lake purifies oneself of all sins committed over a hundred lifetimes – and drinking water from the lake will take oneself to the abode of Lord Shiva after death.

It is believed that Lord Shiva comes to bathe at the lake every day early in the morning from 2 am – 4pm. Lake Manasarovar is also the source of four great rivers of Asia, namely the Brahmaputra, Ghaghara, Sindhu and Sutlej. Every year, thousands make pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and to take a dip in the holy Lake Manasarovar following a religious aspect which goes back thousands of years. It is the considered as a center point of Earth.
