Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from Nepalgunj
Tour Overview
The path to God-realization melts away one’s sense of ‘I’, ego-consciousness, to enable one being an empty receptacle to receive the Divine.
Whereas arduous treks to summits and inaccessible regions inflate one’s sense of self by adding to it the honor of accomplishment, pilgrimages that are equally difficult to endure intend to wither away one’s egoic self, thereby taking the human soul closer to its impregnation by the Divine. Few pilgrimage trajectories in the modern age carry with them the hallmark of being ‘arduous’, and of the ones that still do, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from Nepalgunj is deemed the most holy.
Mount Kailash is considered to be the abode of Lord Shiva, the primordial persona of Divine Masculine, whose witness consciousness pervades the entirety of cosmos, which in itself is a playground for Shakti, the Divine Feminine, to engage in her manifold manifestations of Maya. Namaste India Trip Pvt. Ltd brings to you the best and most well-tailored itinerary to encompass the sanctity of Kailash Yatra in 10 days and 9 nights.
