Overview
Kailash Door Darshan is an extraordinary pilgrimage trip that takes devotees on a spiritual journey to Mount Kailash, one of the holiest and most revered destinations in the world. Located in the remote Himalayan region of Tibet, this sacred mountain is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva by Hindus, and it holds immense significance for followers of Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon as well.
In Hindu Mythology, Lord Shiva spends most of the time on the top of the holy Mount Kailash, practicing Yogic austerities, joy, and love with his divine consort Parbati (Mother of Mythology). The Lake Mansarovar and the holy Mount Kailash are the souls of all AUM followers in the world.”Conventional wisdom says a single circuit of Mt. Kailash wipes out the sins of a lifetime, 108 Parikramas guarantees enlightenment. A ritual bath in the sacred Mansarovar Lake delivers pilgrim to Brahmas paradise and a drop drink of its water relinquishes the sins of hundreds of lifetimes.”
Lapcha la pass (4550m) is located on the Nepal side on the border of the Mansarovar to Tibet which is just 7km away from the lakeshore.
Overall, the Kailash Door Darshan trip is a transformative experience that takes pilgrims on a profound inner and outer journey. It is a pilgrimage of devotion, endurance, and self-discovery, leaving a lasting impression on the hearts and souls of those fortunate enough to embark on this sacred expedition.
