Spread
out on the Tibetan plateau beside Mount Kailash is the giant lake
of shifting colours - Lake Mansarovar. Brahma, the creator, had
a mind (‘Man’) for the creation of a lake (‘Sarovar’), hence its
name. A pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and a bath in the Mansarovar
is believed to bring about salvation (Moksha).
About
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra
People have been visiting Kailash - Mansarovar for centuries. Almost
all the major passes of Uttaranchal Himalayas lead to Kailash -
Mansarovar. The important ones in the Kumaon region are Lipulekh,
Lampiya Dhura, Nuwe Dhura, Lowe Dhura, Unta Dhura, Jayanti and Kungri
Bingri. Since 1981, under the auspices of the Indian ministry of
external affairs and with the cooperation of the Chinese government,
Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam has been conducting trips to Kailash -
Mansarovar through the Lipulekh pass. The number of people allowed
visiting Kailash - Mansarovar is limited and it is hoped that in
the near future, more Indian pilgrims will be allowed to visit Western
Tibet, the region of sacred mountains and lakes.
