Kailash Mansarovar A Heaven On Earth
This journey calls for undying faith and power-pack determination to reach the destination where the cosmos begin. Kailash is a peak in Tibet located in the Kailash range of Transhimalayas. Kailash Range is known as Mount Kailash and no mortal can manage the conquering of Mount Kailash Peak. Likewise, in spite of Lord Shiva abode being at 6638 meter vis-a-vis Mount Everest being torched at 8848 meters, somehow one can manage to submit at a lower altitude only. Furthermore, Mount Kailash is a mystery that remains on an enigma plateau between the borders of Nepal and China. Above all, this magnificent view of Mount Kailash (Kailash Mansarovar Heaven On Earth) looks like a crown of heart from Mansarovar. Tibetans often call Mount Kailash as ‘The Jewel of Tibet’.
Mount Is Permissible For Trekking
Mount Kailash is in Tibet and trekking around the Mount is permissible as per the Chinese government. This magnetic black shrine coated in snow mirrors pristine silence, the subtle flow of river and lakes. River Indus, Brahmaputra, Karnali, Ghaghara, Sindhu, and Sutlej flow through Mount Kailash range. River Karnali meets with Ganga in India. Other than the rivers there are two lakes mention namely; Lake Mansarovar and the other is Lake Rakshas Tal. Mansarovar Lake is the holiest lake in Hinduism and without touch basing this sacred lake, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is indeed incomplete.
Lake Mansarovar is at the southeast of Mount Kailash approximately 20 km away. Mansarovar Lake’s water is sweet while Lake Rakshatal is salty and a thin isthmus separate. Lake Mansarovar (Lake of God) and Rakshatal (Lake of Demons) were a part of Sutlej River. But now they are separated due to tectonic happenings and currently. The Rakshatal Lake looks like a crescent shape while Mount Kailash looks like the round shape. Both the lakes also signify the good and bad existing within us.
