You fly from Katmandu to Simikot (2910m)
in West Nepal and start your trek. The
route leads through a magnificent
mountain area, past villages of the
Thakuri, along rivers and across the
Nara Lagna Pass. From the 4580m high
pass you can see the vast Tibetan
plateau. You will hike to the
Nepali/Tibetan border till the village
of Sher on the Tibetan side, where a
vehicle will pick you up and drive to
Taklakot. Geographically you are
directly south of Kailash, which Hindus
and Buddhists view as the "center of the
world". On your way to the holy mountain
you will wander along the western shore
of Lake Mansarowar and camp. "There are
countless beautiful landscapes in the
Himalayas, in the Trns-Himalya and in
ther ares of high Asia, Yet the view
from Gosul Gompa cross the lake and the
surrounding mountains surpasses
everything I have seen", wrote Sven
Hedin in "Transhimalaya" (1909).The
mighty rock dome of Kailash comes
closer. Together with pilgrims from far
and wide you follow the trail (Parikrama)
across the Dolma La (5600m), which is
adorned with countless prayer flags. It
takes three days to circumambulate the
snow-covered cupola of the 6714m tall
mountain. In Tibetan tradition you will
conclude this pilgrimage in Tirthapuri -
which is one of the most important
pilgrim destinations along with Kailash
and Lake Mansarowar. Almost surreal
appears the canyon-like valley of the
Sutlej. Imbedded lie the ruins of
Tsaparang, the capital of the former
kingdom of Guge. After visiting the 900
year-old site our drive through the
canyon of the Sutlej starts long the
north route to Lhasa. The light and
shadows of the summer clouds make for a
magical atmosphere, dip the barren
vastness in tinges of pastel green,
yellow deep blue and violet. En route,
we visit two of the most sacred temples
of Tibet: Tshilunpo in Shigatse and
Kumbum in Gyantse. In Lhasa, the
spiritual and secular center Tibet's,
visited by many pilgrims from allover
the country, we will have two days at
our disposal.
