Kailash Tour 2015: Tibet Travel Agency TCTS Gears Up For The Adventure
Lhasa, Tibet (PRWEB) February 10, 2015 -- Each year, thousand of religious pilgrims and travelers descend upon Tibet to embark on the Kailash tour. On this ritual trek around the base of Mt. Kailash pilgrims seek to purify their souls and take in dramatic Tibetan landscapes. This is a sacred place for Hindus, Buddhists, Jain, and Bon; for people of these faiths Kailash is to them as Jerusalem is to Christians and Jews and Mecca is to Muslims. No matter travelers’ faith, all are welcome on this special journey.
For over 10 years Tibet Ctrip Travel Service-TCTS (http://www.tibetctrip.com) has been helping travelers discover the cultural and natural wonders of the Mt Kailash trek. The adventure begins once travelers arrive in Lhasa or cross over the border from Nepal. Those coming from Nepal will have a few days to acclimatize before setting out while those coming from Lhasa will have ample opportunity to learn about Tibetan culture and history at famous sites along the way to Kailash.
TCTS provides equipment such as tents, sleeping bags, and cooking supplies on the trekking portion of the tour and arranges for a yak to carry it all! The traditional circuit around Mt Kailash is typically a three-day Tibet trek. On the trail, Tibetan pilgrims leave behind a lock of hair or stone to symbolize the shedding of their anger, fear, and prejudice. Travelers may do the same but please don’t leave behind anything that may harm the fragile environment! At such a high altitude even things that normally biodegrade quickly can stick around for a while.
The unique blend of stunning scenery and the opportunity to encounter people of a variety of cultural backgrounds is the draw for the thousands who make the journey every year. This tour of Tibet covers a lot of ground over about 2.5-3 weeks making it a special experience; not only do travel groups get to enjoy the trek around Kailash but they also have the chance to experience a wide cross-section of Tibet with several stops along the way! The trekking season is coming up quickly. With large numbers of visitors making the adventure every year Tibet Travel Agency TCTS encourages travelers to book as far in advance as possible
