Full moon night in Mansarovar Lake on 16 May 2023 (Purnima)

The snow-capped rocky peak of Kailash Parbat (6714m) is also believed to be a place where founders of Tibetan Buddhism, Jainism and Bonpo religions once meditated and resided. Regarded as the "Center of the Universe", Jains believe that their first Saint obtained Liberation: “Freedom” meditating at Kailash Parvat.

Hindu people believe Mount Kailash, called Kangri Rimpoche by Tibetans, to be the abode of supreme Hindu God, Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati. For a Hindu, to make the arduous pilgrimage to Kailash and have the divine view (Darshan) of Shiva’s abode is to attain release from the clutches of ignorance & delusion of life. Thousands of Hindu religious people come to visit the sacred mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake, situated in the Southern part of China’s Autonomous Region of Tibet, every year from around the globe and neighboring country India via Nepal.

Tibet, a sacred home to Mount Kailash and Mapam Yumtso or Mansarovar Lake, is a famous pilgrimage destination for the devotees of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Bon religions and an epitome of beauty and awe to the rest of the world. For Buddhist to make the challenging pilgrimage is to feel the peace of the surrounding which they believe the meditating spot of Lord Buddha.

Mansarovar Lake/ Mapam Yumtso are just beside the sacred Mount Kailash. The word “Manas” means mind or consciousness and “Sarovar” means Lake. Hence this lake is defined as the Lake of consciousness. As Kailash Parvat it also has held deep spiritual influence and wide religious belief among Hindus and Buddhist. Hindu worships it as the bathing lake of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Making round of the Lake and taking a dip in it is believed to be Purge one’s soul from sins and the body from sickness. Still there are others, who believe one can not only clean his soul but also secure his place in heaven after the end of mortal life. The beautiful birds and ducks roaming at this Lake multiply the beauty of this gigantic Lake.

Health Precaution

Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered in the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. The best idea is to deliberately slow down all the activities and have the following suggestions in mind:

  1. Relax-do not exerts, be excited, make rest if needed
  2. Reduce talk time with each other during the journey
  3. Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
  4. Keep your load light.
  5. Walk for 30 minutes and rest for 5 minutes
  6. Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
  7. Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
  8. Observe silence with smile.
  9. Never go too high and too fast.
  10. Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
  11. Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favorite music, Bhajans, chanting etc.
  12. Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
  13. Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
  14. The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sightseeing together.
