Kailash Yatra is a spiritual pilgrimage to Mount Kailash in the Tibetan Himalayas, considered one of the most sacred places in Asia. It is believed that circumambulating the mountain, a trek of 52 km, will bring good fortune and enlightenment. The journey is physically and mentally demanding, with high altitudes, harsh weather, and rugged terrain. Kailash Yatra is usually combined with a visit to Lake Manasarovar, considered a holy lake and source of purification.
The yatra attracts thousands of devotees yearly, who make the pilgrimage on foot, horseback, or by yak. For many, the Kailash Yatra is a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual journey, a symbol of devotion, and a testament to the power of faith.
