The Tibet Kailash Pilgrimage Tour offers travelers a rare opportunity to witness the majestic beauty of the Himalayas and the deep spiritual essence surrounding Mount Kailash, the most sacred peak in Asia.
Regarded as the abode of Lord Shiva by Hindus and revered by Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers alike, Mount Kailash remains unclimbed — preserving its sanctity as a divine mountain meant only for spiritual circumambulation, known as the Kora.
The Kailash Kora, a 52 km circuit around the holy mountain, is considered one of the most spiritually powerful pilgrimages on earth. Devotees believe that completing this sacred walk brings liberation from ignorance and the cycle of rebirth. According to Hindu legend, Lord Shiva resides at Kailash, where He meditates in bliss with His divine consort Parvati.
For Buddhists, Kailash is believed to be the cosmic axis, the center of the universe. Buddhist scriptures mention that Lord Buddha miraculously visited the mountain in the 5th century BCE, and it is said that Buddhism spread into Tibet from Nepal and India in the 7th century CE.
This journey combines spiritual devotion, cultural discovery, and natural beauty — making it a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage for seekers of divine peace and enlightenment.
