TIBET: KAILASH  MANSARAVAR JATRA Pilgrimage or journey to Kailash, the most sacred mountain for many Asians, is even today one of the great tours in Asia. Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bn-pos revere this mountain, and the Kora, its meritorious circumbulation, is their most cherished aim in life. Through the wild West-Tibet, along the main crest of the Himalaya you drive to Lake Manosaravar and Darchen, the starting point of the trek. The fantastic landscape, Lake Manosaravar, the monasteries, the mountains Shisha Pangma and Gurla Mandhata are the highlights of this tour. You have enough time, 4 days, to circumbulate Kailash, which will enhance the experience of the 'Kora'. Across some high passes we reach the Himalaya, the border between two subcontinents, climates and peoples, and descend to Kathmandu.
