* Trek through Nepal's Humla region to Mount Kailash
* Cross the border between Nepal & Tibet on foot
* Visit the magical waters of the fabled Lake Manasowrovar
Mount Kailash: Located north of the Himalayas, in one of the remotest parts of western Tibet, lies the fabled Mount Kailash (6714m.). No one has ever been permitted to climb this sacred mountain and its virgin summit remains undisturbed by man. To both Buddhists and Hindus alike, this is the most revered peak in the Himalayas.
Hindu pilgrims consider the mountain to be the home of their God - Lord Shiva. For Buddhists, Mount Kailash is said to be the Center of the Universe - the axis mundi in Asian cosmology. Every year hundreds of pilgrims travel from all over the Indian sub-continent and Tibet to make the ritual circumambulation around the mountain in their quest for enlightenment and this trek will join them on their journey.
With the border between Nepal and Tibet now reopened, a great new trek is now possible which travels to Kailash on foot rather than the long and arduous drive through Tibet. Beginning in Katmandu you will fly to Simikot in the far western corner of Nepal and from there trek north through Humla district to Taklakot. We follow an ancient trading route used by Tibetans who sold valuable salt to Nepal and returned with grain.
