Fourteen Days In Tibet - Meditation Trek
14 DAYS KAILASH / MANASAROVAR TREK FOR 2005 !
Trekking with a difference: This is a wonderful opportunity to join an International group of like minded people on a quest for harmony in mind, body and spirit. Guided by John Christian.
John will lead those who wish to participate in morning and evening meditations as well as simple stretching and breathing exercises.
 Few mountains in the world rival the grandeur of Mount Kailash (6714m) , the famed holy peak in Western Tibet. Kailash has long been an object of worship for four major religions. For the Hindus, it is the domain of Shiva. It is also the abode of Samvara-a multi armed, wrathful deity worshiped in the Chakrasamvara Tantric cycle of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Jains of India also revere the mountain as the site at which the first of their saints emancipated. And in the ancient Bon religion of Tibet, Kailash was the sacred nine storey Swastika Mountain, upon which the Bonpo founder Shenrab alighted from heaven.
Sprawling below Mount Kailash is the sacred Lake Manasarovar (4560m), where a ritual bath will deliver a pilgrim to Brahma's paradise and a drink of its water relinquishes the sins of a hundred lifetimes.
The 53 Km Kailash circuit is the holiest of all Tibet's pilgrimages and the beacon which draws most travelers to Western Tibet. It is said that a Single Parikarma erases the accumulated sins of a lifetime, while 108 circuits will achieve Salvation Or Enlightenment.
