SIMIKOT KAILASH MANASAROVER TREK |
|
Hindus, Buddhists; Jain
and Bon followers see 6714m high Kailash
as the holiest mountain in the world.
It is considered to be the axis of the
cosmos, from which four rivers, the
Indus, Brahmaputra, Sutlej and the
Karnali have their source and flow into
the four directions. The ritual
circumambulation of the mountain is part
of the pilgrimage around Lake
Manasarowar. The order is not important.
You will start your trip "Trails of
Enlightenment" at Lake Manasarowar.
Stepping on its shore and taking a bath,
or drinking from the water cleans the
sins of a hundred rebirths. The trail
around the lake is a serene experience
in crystal clear environment. In summer,
wild geese and Himalayan swans swim on
its waters. Six of the eight gompas have
been rebuilt. On a rock high above the
lake is Gosul Gompa, which offers a
splendid view.
We follow the canyon-like Sutlej in
western direction. In midst a fantastic
scenario of ochre colored castles and
towers lie the 900 years old ruins of
Tsaparang, the capital of the old
kingdom of Guge. We drive on to Darchen,
where we begin our mythical journey
around Kailash; the parikrama (Skt.) or
kora (Tib.).
Kailash resembles a huge natural temple.
Stones, springs and hills along the way
have a deeper religious meaning to the
pilgrims. The trail leads through a
golden-yellow steppe into the valley of
the holy river and through canyons
before the ascent to its highest point,
Dolma La (5636m), starts. Pious
wanderers mumble their prayers and ring
their brass bells in front of the holy
rock in which, according to legend the
goddess Dolma disappeared after she had
guided the first pilgrim here. To
pilgrims it is the symbolic passage
through the gates of death after which
one is cleansed and prepared for a good
rebirth. |
