Mount Kailash

Mt Kailash
MANASAROVAR & HOLY MT. KAILASH
Kailash: Mt.Kailash claimed to be the apex of the Hindu religious axis is also one of the highest mountain in Tibet at 22,022 feet, and Lake Mansarovar at 14,950 feet is said to be the highest fresh water lake in the world. Certainly a difficult region to reach due to the variable and extreme weather conditions. The distance from Lhasa for example is approximately 2000 km.
Only during the last few years have lots of ordinary and not so ordinary travelers, been able to experience this region. Road conditions are difficult much of the time and we have to make many preparations to ensure that we have a reasonable chance of reaching Kailash. We need to bring our own food and camping equipment. Basic lodges and teahouses can be found but the plateau is so remote that it is possible to travel for several days without finding food available.
To travel for days on this remote plateau with the chance encounters of nomads herding their sheep or yaks is to be transformed into another way of life, to see and become part of such a devout pilgrimage as shown by pilgrims around Mt.Kailash and Lake Mansarovar is to put some aspects of our western way of life into proper perspective.

HUMLA VALLEY: In May 1993, The Governments of Nepal and China reached on an accord that allowed the first treks across the border between the two countries. While it had been a route for Nepali pilgrims for years, foreign trekkers were never allowed to trek from Nepal into Tibet. It has always been possible, however, to bend or ignore the rules. Though the raison d’etre for this trek it theoretically pilgrimage to Mt. Calash in Tibet, the trek through Hula, Nepal’s highest, north most and most remote district, is worth the trek by itself.
The lower Hula, Limy valley and upper Hula Carnal valley are populated by “Biotins” who trade extensively with Tibet in traditional ways that have totally vanished elsewhere. It is only near Seiko, the district headquarters, that you will encounter people of the other groups, mostly Taker and Cherries.
