+ Mt. Kailash Trekking Pilgrimage Overland Adventure

| Kashgar ~ Karhilik~ Mazar ~Dahongliutan ~ Ritu ~Shiquanhe ~ Zhanda ~ Darchen ~ Mt.Kailash ~ Paryang ~Saga ~ Lhatse ~ Shigatse ~ Gyantse ~ Lhasa |
To the world's Hindus and Buddhists, Mt Kailash is the high, remote western borderland of Tibet is the centre of the universe, the holiest of holy. It definitely looks the part, raising like a lone apparition form the windswept alpine meadows that surround it on all sides. On its immaculate white 22,000-foot summit legend says, the worlds of humankind and gods meet. Pilgrims come from as far away as the tropical plains of southern India and beyond to walk the ancient, shrine studded pilgrims' trails that circle the base of the holy-peak. Following in their footsteps, walking alongside rugged nomads, Hindu holy men and jewel-adorned aristocrats on horseback, it is easy to believe, as they do, that a single pilgrimage around Kailash burns away a thousand years of ignorance and bad karma. Breathing that rarefied air, eyes filled with brilliant rock, snow and sky, passing a veritable Canterbury Tales-worth of medieval style fellow travelers, magic seems logical, the power of the place undeniable

Standing at 7,546 meters (24,750 ft), Muztag Ata lies 160 km (102 mi) south of the fabled city of Kashgar and off the Karakoram Highway in the heart of the great mountain ranges of Asia. A round-topped mountain wrapped in snow all year round, it has more than ten glaciers lying in its canyons. Across Lake Karakol lie its cousins, Kongur Shan (7,649 m/25,088 ft) and Kongur Tobe (7,530 m/24,698 ft), which belong to the canonical West Kunlun Range. This trip will take you to Xinjiang, China's largest and remotest province, to the convergence of three great mountain ranges, the Pamirs, Karakorams, and Kunluns. We will make our way amongst Kyrgyz, Tajik and Kazakh herdsmen that tend sheep and yaks at the base of Muztag Ata and make this harsh terrain their home. These hospitable people are usually happy to invite you for yak butter tea and bread during stops in the high mountain pastures. The western slope of the mountain offers mountaineers and trekkers a navigable, non-technical climb.กกmore>> |
