Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2025 – A Divine Pilgrimage
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is one of the most sacred and spiritually rewarding pilgrimages in the world. Located in the Tibetan Plateau, Mount Kailash is considered the abode of Lord Shiva and holds immense religious significance in Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Bon traditions. Every year, thousands of devotees undertake this sacred journey to seek divine blessings and perform the parikrama (circumambulation) of Mount Kailash and take a holy dip in Lake Mansarovar.
For 2025, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is set to resume for Indian pilgrims, offering multiple travel routes, including helicopter tours, overland bus journeys, and aerial darshan.
Significance of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra
Hindus believe that Mount Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva, and circumambulating it cleanses sins and leads to salvation.
Jains revere it as Ashtapada, where their first Tirthankara, Rishabhdev, attained nirvana.
Buddhists consider it the sacred Kang Rinpoche and associate it with spiritual enlightenment.
Bon tradition (pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet) regards Kailash as the center of all cosmic energy.

✅ Rakshas Tal – A contrasting saltwater lake symbolizing negative energy, associated with demon king Ravana.
✅ Dolma La Pass (5,630m) – The highest point of the yatra, symbolizing spiritual rebirth.
✅ Gauri Kund – Holy lake where Goddess Parvati is believed to have performed penance.
