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.
