Lhasa to Kailash and Garuda Valley

Mount Kailash the Lake Mansarovar hold an important place among the followers of Bon, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. It is said that the myths and legends surrounding the region proves the essential unity of all the religions. Mount Kailash also represents Kang Rimpoche, believed to be the resting place of Buddha Demchok. In Buddhist cosmology Mt. Kailash is the centre of the world and hence making the Kailash Kora one of holiest acts of merit for the followers of Buddhism.. The region is also considered to be the site of the battle between the master of Tantric Buddhism Milarepa and the champion of Bon religion Naro Bonchung. Later Milarepa stayed on the mountain and meditated for a long time there. Milarepa decided that Kailash neither belongs to the Gods nor to the Demons, but only to the humans. Manasarovar and Rakshas Tal are associated with the sun and the moon, potent symbols in Tantric Buddhism. In some Buddhist works, Mansarovar is described as Anotatta or Anavatapta meaning the lake without heat and trouble.

Beginning our tour of Tibet from Lhasa, we visit such important sites of Tibetan Buddhism like Sera Monastery, Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple among others. Then we move on toward Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar also visiting many important Buddhist sites on our way. We also go to Trita Puri, some believe Trita Puri to be the origin of Tibetan Buddhism. An old saying suggests that visiting Trita Puri after Kailash and Mansarovar is a must to earn the merit of the pilgrimage. Practically all Buddhist pilgrims visiting Mount Kailash and Manasarovar go to Trita Puri and get blessed by the mystical sights to be viewed and studied about tantric traditions of Buddhism. The hot-spring of Trita Puri is believed to cure sickness and many pilgrims go there to take bath and wash of their negative karmas. Similarly, the town of Saga near Kailash tour is famous for the famous Buddhist festival Saga Dawa Festival.
