Itinerary to do in Kathmandu


The Mount Kailash pilgrimage is considered one of the most significant and spiritually profound journeys for followers of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Situated in the remote western region of Tibet, within the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, Mount Kailash rises majestically to an altitude of 6,638 meters (21,778 feet). This solitary, pyramid-shaped mountain holds an unparalleled status as a holy site, believed to be the spiritual center of the universe. Each year, thousands of pilgrims from across the globe undertake the arduous journey to this remote and mystical location, seeking spiritual fulfillment, purification, and enlightenment.


For Hindus, Mount Kailash is regarded as the abode of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities of Hinduism. According to Hindu mythology, Shiva resides atop Mount Kailash in a state of perpetual meditation, alongside his consort Parvati. The mountain is often referred to as "Kailash Parvat" and is considered the earthly manifestation of the mythical Mount Meru, the axis mundi or cosmic axis of Hindu cosmology. Pilgrims believe that circumambulating the mountain, known as "parikrama" or "kora", cleanses one's sins and brings them closer to attaining moksha, or liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth.
