KAILASH MANASAROVAR YATRA 2015





Few mountains in the world rival the grandeur of Mount Kailash ( 6714m.), the famed holy peak in western Tibet. Kailash has long been an object of worship for four major religions. For the Hindus, it is the domain of Shiva. It is also the abode of Samvara – a multiarmed, wrathful deity worshipped in the Chakrasamvarara Tantric cycle of the Tibetan Buddhism. The Jains of India also revere the mountain as the site at which of first of their saints emancipated. And in the ancient Bon religion of Tibet, Kailash was the sacred nine storeys Swastika Mountain, upon which the Bonpo founder Shenrab alighted from heaven.
Sprawling below Mount Kailas is the sacred Lake Mansarovar ( 4560m.) where a ritual bath will deliver a pilgrim to Brahma’s paradise and drink of its water relinquishes the sins of a hundred lifetimes.
The 53 km kailash circuit is the holiest of all Tibet’s Pilgrimages and the beacon which draws most travelers to western Tibet. It is said that Single parikrama erases the accumulated sins of a lifetimes, while 108 circumbulation will achieve Salvation or Nirvana.

Ganesh Parbat Netra Tal (Phulkharka Home Stay ) Trekking in Nepal Himalaya .


Trying to benefit communities through tourism Nepal, home to the mighty Himalayas, spectacular landscapes, and unique cultural and religious heritage makes it a great destination for tourist around the globe.Nepal’s tourism is primarily focused around the Everest, Annapurna and Lantang region.This concentration of tourist flow in these region has put increased pressure on the fragile eco - system, waste management issues and the over use of local resources and rapid changes in local lifestyle.It has become increasingly important to open new destinations to lessen this pressure onother areas, while at the same time spreading the benefits of tourism to other communities across Nepal.So in order to explore new destinations around Nepal, we put together a team of 5 individuals from different walks of life. This team was led by veteran traveler Ripu Mardan, a wellknow person in the field of tourism, Puskar Adhikari (Briarwood, USA), Erika Karki (Auckland,New Zealand), Yelamber Singh Adhikari (Baneshwor, Kathmandu) Ashraya Kadariya(Karachi, Pakistan) and travelled to the Netra Tal Sky Camp Region this past March.We found this region of Netra Tat, nestled between Manaslu Conservation Area to the westand Lantang National Park to the east, to be a truly hidden gem. In the villages we passed,we experienced the simple life, where people ate what they grew, milk still came from thesource, cloths were still stitched by the local tailor, main mode of transport was still on footand where people still danced to traditional instruments.So we looked for ways we could promote this region in a sustainable manner, bring in economic, environmental and social benefits and at the same time working to keep awaythe negative effects of tourism.1. Economic and Employment Benefits Tourism offers important, satisfying employment opportunities for a wide range of people,such as first time workers and youths who benefit from entry level positions where lifelong skillsare acquired.Students and elders can appreciate the flexibility of part time and seasonal work. In addition,tourism industry will rely heavily on entrepreneurs. A wide range of small businesses benefits from tourism. One example that is already taking place in the region is revenue generation through boat rentals at Netra Tal. Growth in tourism business is largely driven by new investments from existing operators within the region and or attracting entrepreneurs fromoutside the community who create and market new tourism attractions and experiences.2. Social Benefits Increased tourism can allow local residents to benefit from the same services and facilitiesdeveloped to support tourism.In addition, local businesses typically benefit from enhanced revenue, which in turn leads togrowth in the number and size of business and service options for residents.Special local events like musical and cultural festivals, fairs and sporting events that areenjoyed by local residents have the potential to attract large number of other visitors.Tourist attractions that have a strong recreational and outdoor focus (eg. Trail running,mountain biking, rock climbing) also create new opportunities for the locals.Tourism not only brings income and physical upgrades to a community, they can also bringnew ideas and information which benefit local residents. In some cases skills can also bebrought through organizations.The scenery, heritage and culture of a community (sometimes taken for granted by localcommunity) may be of interest to visitors. When local residents see how much touristappreciate these community assets, civic pride is nourished and locals are further inspired topreserve, develop and share these unique treasures.3. Environmental BenefitsGreat focus gets placed on the conservation of natural resources within the communitythrough the recognition of their importance to drawing visitors and providing economicbenefits.  The Himalayan sky camp (NETRA TAL), A new destination “Off the beaten trail”Himalayan Sky Camp Netra Tal region is nestled between Manaslu Conservation Area to the West,Lantang National Park to the East and Tibet to the North, making it one of Nepal’s hidden gem.

Trekking in Nepal ,Nepal Trip ,Nepal Hike ,Everest base camp Trek ,Poon Hill Trekking

Are you thinking of trekking in Nepal? Then you can go wrong no way. This tiny nation of Nepal has the Himalayas running along its northern border. And imagine 8 out of 14 highest peaks in this world are situated in Nepal. With multitude of opportunities for mountaineering and peak climbing in the Himalayas, Nepal equally is a trekkers' paradise. And wait, Nepal has much more to offer than just mountains. It possesses the deep religious and cultural traditions and well, such an interesting intermix of people as well. As we talk of treks, Nepal offers a wide range of treks from easy to moderate to challenging. But on all treks, the focus is upon the great scenery and experiencing some of the wonderful cultural snippets various ethnic and cultural groups of Nepal have to offer.



As seen, Nepal attracts the arrayof trekkers ranging from hard-core peak trekkers to those wanting to unwind on a ramble from teahouse to teahouse. And everyone who takes on the mountainous terrain of Nepal seems to come far away from the country with their own favorite experiences and favorite treks. While it comes to trekking, Nepal has everything. 

If we flip back the history of trekking in Nepal, Nepal has been a closed kingdom and Nepalese have been apprehensive of foreigners for most of their history. Nepal opened up for trekking in 1948 but it was only in 1955 that it received first tourists. It was only in 1965 that the very first trekking company started in Nepal. Initially it operated expedition style treks with separate kitchen tents and dinning. Over the years, the number of trekkers in Nepal has dramatically increased. As per the statistics, Khumbu valley attracted just 300 trekkers in 1970, but nowadays the region attracts more than 30000 trekkers per year.

However, there can boat loads of things you need to know before actually doing your trekking in Nepal, Nepal trekking could be a real adventure and also a life-defining experience if you are with good travel operators. With a reliable trek operator, your tour content can be superb; everything you do becomes fascinating and well-executed by the staffs on the ground.
