Kailash) Trek

Trekking Programme Duration : 17 Days

|
To see the greatness of a mountain, one must
keep one's distance; to understand its form, one must move around
it; to experience its moods, one must see it at sunrise and sunset,
at noon and at mid-night, in sun and in rain in all other season, He
who can see the mountain like this, comes near to the life of the
mountain a life that is as intense and varied as that of a human
being."
Mt. Adi-Kailash - popularly known as
Chhota-Kailash, is in indian territory, close to the Indian tibetan
border. It is an area of great natural beauty, peace and
sovereignty. Men and women, tired by the incessant roar of urban
life, will find here a healing quietude conducive to liking inward
and discouraging with one's innerself. During Adi-Kailash Yatra, you
will come across the mighty splendour of the snow peaks of Annapurna,
the gushing Kali river, thick Forest, Narayan Ashram full of wild
flowers and rare variation of fruits and number of water falls.
At the very foot of Mt. Kailash is Gauri Kund,
whose water reflect the mountain itself. The local folk, called
Bhotias, have much to say about there land. The villege Kutti, is
named after Kunti, the mother of Pandavas. The great saga vyas lived
here for a long time and wrote many books. The bhotias have
preserved their heritage assiduously and are always ready to show
glimpses ot it through their dance and music.
In this very exciting trekking region, one not
only walks along a large portion of the Kailas - Mansarovar route,
but also gets to know and understand the social and cultural life of
the people living in the Chaudans, Byans and Darma valleys. The
journey begins and ends at Tawaghat, the confluence of the river
Kali and Dhauli E. in district Pithoragarh. |
