What is the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a test of physical resilience and a balm for the spirit, a chance to connect with the divine and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world. It is a pilgrimage journey to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, located in the Himalayas, which is considered a lifetime achievement for many devotees. Performing a circumambulation (Kora) around the mountain is believed to be a life-purifying act that purifies the sin and brings one closer to moksha, or liberation from the cycle of rebirth. 

It's religiously significant for followers of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and the Bon religion from different perspectives. In Hinduism, Mount Kailash is revered as the abode of Lord Shiva, the destroyer and regenerator god. Similarly, Mount Kailash represents Mount Meru, the cosmic centre of the universe, and Buddhists believe it's the residence of the Buddha Shakyamuni in his celestial form. For Jain followers, they consider Mount Kailash as Mount Ashtapad next to each other, where the first Jain tirthankara, Rishabhdev, attained moksha (liberation). Bon followers believe Mount Kailash to be the central axis of the world, a sacred and powerful place. While religious beliefs differ, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is equally significant. 

Apart from its religious significance, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra features a serene and dramatic landscape along the way to the main destination. The Himalayas provide a stunning backdrop for the entire yatra. Moreover, completing the trek itself is a significant accomplishment due to the high altitude and challenging terrain. It requires physical and mental resilience, offering a sense of personal achievement. Also, the local Tibetan people's hospitality and unique way of life add to the cultural richness of the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Kailash Mansarovar Yatra difficult?

    The Yatra involves walking for several days, often in remote terrain and at high altitudes, with its highest altitude of 5600m in Dolma La Pass, which requires a good level of physical fitness and stamina. It can be physically demanding and can lead to altitude sickness and other health challenges for some individuals. However, people of all ages and fitness levels have undertaken it successfully as long as one is in good health and physical fitness before undertaking the journey. Also, proper acclimatisation, physical training, and being aware of one's health condition are crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience.

  • What is the age limit for Kailash Mansarovar?

    The age limit for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra varies depending on the route and the regulations set by the respective government authorities. Generally, the age limit for Kailash Mansarovar is between 18 and 70 years old. There are exceptions for very fit individuals over 70, but it is not guaranteed that a permit will be issued as it depends upon the authority itself.

  • Can a normal person go to Kailash Mansarovar?

    Yes, a normal person can go to Kailash Mansarovar. However, it's essential to understand that the journey to Kailash Mansarovar is considered a challenging pilgrimage due to the high altitude, rugged terrain, and often harsh weather conditions. The trek involves both physical and mental endurance, so it's recommended to be in good health and physically fit before taking the journey.

  • How can I go to Kailash Mansarovar from Nepal?

    There are two main ways to get to Kailash Mansarovar from Nepal. They are overland via Gyirong border and by helicopter via Nepalgunj. 

    Overland via Gyirong border: This is a good option if you are looking for a more adventurous trip. The journey from Kathmandu to Kailash is 10 days and you will need to cross the border between Nepal and China at Gyirong Border. 

    The route by helicopter via Nepalgunj: It is the most expensive option, but it is also the fastest way to get to Kailash Mansarovar. The helicopter tour takes about 1 day from Simikot in Nepal to Hilsa in Tibet.
