At a Glance

Combining a Mt. Kailash tour with Toling provides an exceptional opportunity to explore the spiritual and hidden treasures of Tibet. At Himalanaya Trekking Path, we offer both flight and overland tours from Nepal that encompass the Kailash Kora and Toling in a single journey. Considered the spiritual epicenter of the universe by five major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Bon—Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar hold profound significance steeped in countless myths and legends. Adiyogi Shiva, Buddha, and the Jain Theerthankars have all contributed to the mystical aura surrounding this sacred place. Among all the majestic peaks on our planet, Mount Kailash stands out with its distinctive markings and commanding presence, nestled between two smaller peaks in the remote southwestern region of Tibet. The awe-inspiring power emanating from this extraordinary summit has captivated the human imagination since time immemorial.Toling, located in the west of the Tibet Autonomous Region, is a town and the seat of Zanda County in Ngari Prefecture. It was once the capital of the Guge Kingdom during the reign of Langdarma in western Tibet. Although now an isolated military town, Toling boasts modern amenities such as a well-planned new street, a post office, and telecommunication facilities. The Tholing Monastery, established in 997 AD, is situated on the outskirts of the town, within the magnificent Grand Canyon of the LangchenTsangpo (Sutlej River). This monastery holds great historical significance as it played a crucial role in the second spreading of Buddhism in Tibet. The Kailash Manasarovar pilgrimage, on the other hand, is widely regarded as the pinnacle of spiritual journeys, with many considering it the highest point of their life's experiences.
