It is the world\u2019s highest freshwater lake. It embodies the spiritual concepts of regeneration within Hinduism, purity, and enlightenment. It is considered that this lake changes colours. While near the shores it appears to be clear blue, it changes towards the centre to an emerald green colour. The lake becomes surreal and absolutely beautiful in the moonlight. It is believed that Lake Manasarovar\u2019s circumambulation is an act of wish fulfillment and it helps in getting rid of the sins you committed in your past and present life.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mythological_Significance\"><\/span><strong>Mythological Significance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mount Kailash is considered to be a sacred destination not only for the Hindus but also for Buddhists and Jains. According to Hindus, Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati, reside at Mount Kailash\u2019s peak in a state of meditation. Jains believe that Mount Kailash is the site where Nirvana was attained by the first Jain Tirthankara. In Buddhism, it is believed that Kailash Parvat is the place where Gautam Buddha resides representing supreme bliss. The Bon believe that Mount Kailash is the seat of all spiritual power in this world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sacred_Walk_of_Mount_Kailash\"><\/span><strong>Sacred Walk of Mount Kailash<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is believed by Hindus that circumambulating Mount Kailash, which is also known as Kailash Kora or Kailash Parikrama purifies the soul, brings spiritual merit and blessings, and washes away sins. You need to hike clockwise in a pilgrimage trail with deep devotion around Mount Kailash to Darche from Darchen via Zutulpuk Monastery and Dirapuk Monastery, over Dolma La 5630 m.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exploring_the_Mystic_Temples\"><\/span><strong>Exploring the Mystic Temples<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Five monasteries surround Mount Kailash, namely Drirapuk Monastery, Nyari Monastery, Dzultripuk Monastery, Gyangzha Monastery, and Selung Monastery. Each monastery recites different legendary stories and stands out due to its statues, thangkas, murals, distinctive sculptures, and other Tibetan cultural objects. Thus, during the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, you get to visit some of the most sacred sites along with Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Does Kailash Charan Sparsh Signify?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kailash Charan Sparsh means\u00a0touching the feet of Kailash Charan.\u00a0It is believed in Indian culture that touching the feet of revered individuals, elders or gurus is a sign of humility, respect, and seeking blessings. Touching the feet of Mount Kailash is considered to lead to Moksh Prapti which signifies liberation.\u00a0The Yatra is a day trip to the north side of Mount Kailash from Dirapuk monastery. The glacier walk is conducted along the Gange river bank starting from the north face of Kailash. You can directly touch Mt. Kailash&#8217;s feet from the bottom of the mysterious pyramid, seek the blessings of Lord Shiva, and get a shan from Kailash Parvat\u2019s Sahashra Dhara falling Jal. As per the belief, from the locks of Lord Shiva the Ganges are formed, and the water flowing from the Lake Mansarovar and Mount Kailash\u2019s melted snow makes it absolutely sacred.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Inner Kora<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Inner Kora of Kailash is considered to be a special trek around the base of Mount Kailash. The pilgrims have to cover a distance of 34 km while performing Mount Kailash&#8217;s inner kora. Nandi Parikrama or inner kora starts from Darchen to Saptarishi Cave via Ralang Monastery to touch the base of Kailash. During the inner kora, you have to make a circle of Nandi Mountain over 5800 meters and then you have to get back via Gyandrak Monastery to Darchen. To perform Inner Kora you need to use some mountaineering equipment and skills because it is considered to be one of the most challenging Inner Kora journeys to Kailash.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rakshas Tal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Rakshas Tal is situated on the west side of Lake Mansarovar.\u00a0It is also called the \u2018Lake of Devil\u2019 or \u2018Lake of Demon.\u2019 The north-western tip of this lake is believed to be River Sutlej&#8217;s commencement point. The lake is believed to have been created by the Demon king Ravana. Ravana meditated for a thousand years to get supernatural power. He made various sacrifices to make Lord Shiva happy and seek his blessings. The shape of the lake is like a sleeping human body and you won\u2019t find any living being inside this lake. It is also believed that after taking a bath in Rakshas Tal, Ravana\u2019s mind got changed and he started having evil thoughts. He forcefully brought Goddess Sita to Lanka after getting affected by the negative energy of this lake. Until now nobody can touch the water of this lake.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kailash-Mansarovar-Yatra.jpg\" alt=\"Kailash Mansarovar Yatra\" width=\"900\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kailash-Mansarovar-Yatra.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kailash-Mansarovar-Yatra-400x232.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kailash-Mansarovar-Yatra-650x376.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kailash-Mansarovar-Yatra-250x145.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kailash-Mansarovar-Yatra-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kailash-Mansarovar-Yatra-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kailash-Mansarovar-Yatra-800x463.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Difficult?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is not very difficult if you stay prepared beforehand and follow all the instructions of your guide.
