Kailash Door Darshan – Limi Lapcha

6 Days
Guest: 2+

Overview

In Hindu mythology, Mount Kailash holds immense significance as the abode of Lord Shiva, who is believed to spend much of his time there engaged in yogic practices and divine communion with his consort, Parvati. The holy Lake Mansarovar, nestled at the foot of Mount Kailash, is revered as deeply sacred by followers of the AUM (Om) symbol worldwide.

Legend has it that a single circumambulation (parikrama) of Mount Kailash can absolve one of the sins of a lifetime, while completing 108 parikramas is believed to lead to enlightenment. A ritualistic bath in the purifying waters of Lake Mansarovar is said to grant pilgrims entry into Brahma’s paradise, and even a mere sip of its holy waters is believed to cleanse one of sins accumulated over countless lifetimes.

The Lapcha La pass, situated at an elevation of 4550 meters on the Nepal side of the border, is located just 7 kilometers away from the shores of Mansarovar Lake. This pass serves as a gateway to the spiritual realm of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, offering pilgrims a transcendent journey into the heart of Hindu mythology and spiritual enlightenment.
