What is it like to visit Kailash Mansarovar?

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is one of the most special pilgrimages a Hindu can make. There are quite a few Hindu pilgrimages one can go on but this deserves special mention not only because Mount Kailash is considered to be the abode of Lord Shiva, but also because it is a physically challenging journey. Truth be told, this is a pilgrimage meant for those who are true devotees of Lord Shiva by heart. This post talks about what it is like to visit Kailash Mansarovar, taking facets of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra personal experiences of pilgrims who have had on the journey of a lifetime.

The preparation part of Mount Kailash Yatra

It is important to understand that it does not matter whether you choose the best tour operator for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra; you will have to put in work of your own. This has a lot to do with getting the Visa and passport in order. You have to make sure that there are at least 6 months left on your passport from the day your travel starts because otherwise, you will simply not be eligible for the pilgrimage. But that is not all you have to do: you have to prepare yourself physically and mentally as well. Physical fitness is a priority if you choose to Kailash Parvat trek for most of the journey, which is what people who choose the route recommended by the External Affairs Ministry of India do. However, suppose you choose the best tour operator for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. In that case, you can choose to go by helicopter, which is a lot more convenient and time-saving, not to mention a lot less physically demanding. However, if you choose the GOI route, it is important that you build your stamina by walking, running and exercising beforehand so that your body is fit enough to take the rigours of the journey.

Nature is at its most serene during Manas Sarovar Trip

No one will be able to deny the fact that the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra experience has to be one of the most physically exhausting pilgrimages Hindus can go on. But those who have been lucky enough to make the pilgrimage will also tell you that it is where nature is at its very best. The remote location of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar makes pilgrims truly enjoy the feeling of being one with nature. Yes, we have nature in cities and towns as well but the sparse population and the serenity of it all make the Kailash Mansarovar one of the most picturesque.

The magical abode of Lord Shiva on Kailash Parvat

Kailash Mansarovar has a lot of significance in Hindu mythology. It is where Lord Shiva lives and spends his days in meditation. Lake Mansarovar is where the sacred swans swim during the summer months and it is also believed that this lake is visited by Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma himself during the auspicious ‘’Brahma Muhurta’’. A visit to the place is one of the holiest things a Hindu can do because they believe that it will wash away all the sins of previous births. The place is divinely beautiful and it is something that brings inner joy and peace. It is best to go on this pilgrimage with clearness of thought and deed, and not to indulge in unnecessary fights or arguments. This will give devotees the chance to really feel the tranquillity of Kailash Mansarovar so that they can experience a divine awakening.

Not doing the 'Mt. Kailash Parikrama’

People say that taking a dip in Lake Mansarovar calms the mind and purifies the soul. If one can meditate here, it will truly be an experience that one will not forget. Some people forgo the ‘parikrama’ because of ill health, but that does not mean that they cannot experience the magic of Mount Kailash. They can offer their prayers, do a ‘yagna’ and meditate to their heart’s desire. It must be mentioned here that if you wish to do a ‘yagna’, you must take a priest along with you on the journey because you won’t be able to find anyone to do the job there. However, if you go with Trip To Temples, we have a priest organized for every group. 

Mansarovar Kailash Yatra is a once-in-a-lifetime experience

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is an experience that is to be lived at least once. There are many best tour operators for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra available who will ensure that your journey is a comfortable and convenient one. The high mountain peaks, the serenity of the location, the rawness of nature and the thrill of being close to Lord Shiva all combine to make this pilgrimage one that cannot be forgotten.

It is said that if you get a calling from Lord Shiva, you will surely be able to go to Kailash Mansarovar. It does not matter whether you are too old or you are not optimally fit, you will be able to go if that is what your heart desires!
