Spiritual Significance of Kailash Manasarovar
Mount Kailash is revered as the eternal abode of Lord Shiva in Hinduism and holds deep spiritual importance in Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon traditions. A pilgrimage to Kailash is believed to purify past karmas, bring spiritual awakening, and offer liberation through devotion.
Lake Manasarovar, located at the foot of Mount Kailash, is considered one of the holiest freshwater lakes in the world. Taking darshan, performing puja, or meditating by its shores is believed to cleanse the soul and bestow divine blessings. The Kailash Manasarovar Yatra by helicopter allows pilgrims to access these sacred sites efficiently while preserving the religious sanctity of the journey.

GOOD Based on 5 reviews Posted on deepu KuldeepTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are five Bangalore residents who travelled to Muktinath, Pokhara, and Kathmandu with Divine Kailash in December 2022. It was a road trip from Gorakhpur, and everything went perfectly, with excellent service, hotels, food, and all arrangements. The best part is the Nepali support contact; one phone call and all your problems are resolved. Special thanks to both drivers, who are very experienced, and especially to the Nepali driver who drove us to Muktinath.Posted on Sanjay ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

HI, We, a family of 5, (4 Senior citizens,) booked a tour from chennai to gorakpur,mukthinath, pasupathinath,pokhra, kathmandu, janakpur,gorakhpur, ayodhya, naimisharanya. The entire tour was tailormade and organised by Divine Kailash. Mr. Akshay from Bangalore office chalked out our itinary as per our demands. He is a very cordial, helpful person. Till we returned back to chennai, he was constantly enquiring about our well being and catering to our every requests. We are grateful to him for his support throughout. REG. our trip: From Gorakhpur they booked an Innova for us. The driver Mr.Manish was a superb , dynamic and skilled person. Mr.Manish guided us in such a way, to cover all the places in our package. Had a leisurely darshan in all the temples.The hotels booked for us were very clean and classy. Our Package included Breakfast and dinner which were served on time and service wise and quality wise was very delicious. .Ours was a 12day tour and a a very memorable one. Gorakhpur - Gorakhnath Temple - Gorakhpur to Lumbini - by Road - covered Lumbini, Buddhas Birthplace, Monastries of varoius countries Lumbini to Bhairahawa - visited Gajendra Moksha sthala Bhairahawa to Pokhra - by road and stay in Pokhra Pokhra to Jomsom - by flight Jomsom to Mukthinath - by Jeep till mukthinath Base and then we trekked to the temple,. We took almost 1 hour as we took rest in between. As it was slightly sunny, we took bath in Icecold 108 springs, and two Kunds and stayed till 4pm. Very very peaceful darshan of Mukthinath. On our return stayed in Jomsom for the night and flew back to Pokhra the next morning Pokhra sight seeing like gupteshwar Mahadev, Davis Falls, Phewa Lake and Taal barahi Temple Pokhra to Kathmandu - by Road - very Scenic route crossing many mountains and rivers below. We skipped Manakamna Devi Temple as there was very very lengthy queues . Instead we covered Chandragiri hills by cable car and enjoyed the view of kathmandu valley, and beautiful snow clad Himalayas. The entrance fee is fair and the place is well maintained. In Kathmandu visited the great Pasupathinath Temple, Guhyeshari Temple - Shakthi Peeth, Jal Narayan, Doleshwar Mahadev one of the Panch Kedar, Bhakthapur Durbar Square fully,, Changu Narayan Temple From Kathmandu to Janakpur by Road again a very scenic route and skillful drive by Mr.Manish, visited Janaki Mata temple- Sita Marhi, Birthplace of Mata Sita devi Janakpur to Gorakhpur to Ayuodhya- visited Ayodhya temple Drive to Naimisharanya stay for night. Naimisharanya temple and Ghats visit and proceded to Lucknow airport to board flight to chennai. Cons: If a guide was provided at Bhakthapur Durbar Square, it would have been better. We suggest Divine Kailash to arrange for dropping and pickup of the tourists nearer to the Temples like many other tourist buses and cabs. Reg. Hotels: Gorakhpur : Hotel 10th Park Street - a very very classy hotel, a very clean and prompt service and great food Bhairahawa: Hotel Redson -- OK but not great -- have to wait for hours to get ur food. Pokhra - Kuti Resort 2. an annexe of Kutti Resort...Food and beverages was served inMain Kuti Resort - for which we had to shuttle everytime which could hav been avoided. Naimisharanya - Viswanath Palace- Which should be avoided and not a worthy place to stay Except for these minor issues, our entire trip was well organised and executed. We thank Mr. Akash, Mr. Manish and Mr. Nitesh of Nepal for making this happen.
