ENROLLMENT IS CLOSED.
On this journey we will make a kora (kora is a ritual circumambulation) around the mystical Mount Kailas, the strongest place on our planet, the 7th chakra of the Earth. Kailas is the most sacred mountain of the Himalayas, the center of the world’s crown chakra. This is where the Earth’s purpose or true will is conceived and broadcast.
Kailas is a natural mandala. You don’t have to do special meditation techniques here. Meditation happens here.
All spiritual seekers strive to come here to gain intimate knowledge of Man and his possibilities, to have mystical experiences.
Kailas is believed to be one of the main occult sites on earth, which accelerates one’s spiritual development and promotes connection with conscious beings.
Followers of four world religions consider Kailas a sacred place and make pilgrimages to it. That’s more than 1.2 billion earthlings – 400 million. Buddhists, 820 million. Hindus, 3-5 million. Jainists and about half a million followers of the Bon religion. For Buddhists, Kailas is the abode of Shakyamuni Buddha in wrath form. For Hindus, the abode of Shiva, the god of illusion-breaker. The Jains believe that the spiritual epiphany of their first prophet, Mahavira, took place here. The Bonzes call the mountain the seat of life force.

About the peculiarities of the route and organization
Tibet is high in the mountains. The most important moment in such a program is competent acclimatization, which, according to our experience, should take place in comfortable conditions. We arrive in the capital Lhasa and immediately get to an altitude of 3650 meters. Therefore, for a milder acclimatization we suggest moving directly from Lhasa airport to Tsedang, which is located at an altitude of 3100 meters (1.5 hours from the airport).
Initially, we spend 2 days and 1 night in Tsedang, rest and visit the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet, Samye.
Next we move on to Lhasa. There we see local monasteries and temples, as well as the Potala Palace, the historic residence of the Dalai Lam. Then we gradually gain altitude and with stops and excursions we reach the starting point of the pilgrimage route around Mount Kailas – the settlement of Darchen (4576 m). Here we are acclimatizing again. And only after that we make a detour around Mount Kailas and gradually reach the maximum point of our program – 5669m.
In addition to proper elevation gain and drinking plenty of water, it’s important to avoid hypothermia and eat well. That’s why we don’t save on accommodation, but stay in good hotels of 4* and 3* level, where there is hot water in showers and heating (air conditioners work for heating). The hotel in Lhasa has a doctor on call at all times who can measure your blood pressure, pulse, blood oxygen levels and help you deal with “mountain sickness” if necessary.
Ascesis time will come, this is also part of the program – 3 day trekking on the pilgrimage trail around Mount Kailas at high altitude, without showers and in gesthouses. But by the time you start the bark around Mt. Kailas, you should be healthy and in strength to walk the path you came for.
Yes, you also don’t have to carry all your stuff behind you during the hike. Your belongings will be carried by porters (porters) or yaks.
All transfers are made on a comfortable tourist bus, which always has drinking water, warm tea and oxygen bottles. This is all included in the price.
