Kailash & Lake Manasarovar Tour By Overland

Overview

                    Holy Mount Kailash & Sacred Lake Mansarovar

                                        The Heaven on the Earth -

According to the Hindus Mythology, Lord Shiva spends his most of the time on the top of the holy Mount Kailash, practicing Yogic austerities, joy and love with his divine consort Parbati (Mother of Mythology). The Lake Mansarovar and the holy Mount Kailash are the SOUL of all AUM followers in the world.
