Mansarovar is 17000 feet above the sea level
& around 120 square km
The lake and Mountain are the crowning jewels of a magical land of pure
lights and intense colours born in the rarefied atmosphere of 15000 ft.
The stark windswept plains, the luminous intensity of the sky and the
ranks of immense snow-covered giants guarding the region are a
fitting back drop for the dazzling purity of Kailash. Upon the sublime
natural landscape are placed the rocic calms and fluttering faith.
Every step of the sacred routes encircling Kailash and Mansarovar
has its own legend, every rock, hill and spring its own good : an outpouring of
myth and belief which confirms by its very abundance the presence of the sacred.

View of Kailash Parbat from Mansarovar
Here at Kailash the mystic image of Meru, the great mountain at the
center of the universe, has come to rest, Rooted in the seventh hell,
Piercing through to the highest heaven, Mount Meru is at the heart of
Asian religious cosmography . It is the central pivot around which the
whole of creation revolves , the world Pillar and the first of Mountains.

As an arch type of the divine centre, Meru rises in the realm invisible to
mortal eyes. Man's urge to fix his ideals in solid form drew Meru to Earth,
imposing its divinity on the snow peak of Kailash . To the pilgrims who
walk the thirty-two mile path about it, Kailash is Meru embodied in
ice and stone, an a single circuit erases the sins of a life time.
Their faith proclaims that not just the mountain's ice capped summit
but the entire region is the abode of the gods : a holy land made
doubly sacrosanct by the presence of nearby lake Mansarover,
fifteen mile wide circle of deepest blue which is among
man's most ancient holy sites.
