This centre of heaven
This core of the earth
This heart of the world
Fenced round with snow
The headland of all rivers
Where the mountains are high
And the land is pure
~ Tibetan poem, 8th century

Tibet is located in southwest China with Tibetans as the main local inhabitants. It is situated on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is called the "roof of the world". Tibet fascinates tourists from home and abroad with its grandiose natural scenery, vast plateau landscape, charming holy mountains and sacred lakes, numerous ancient architectures and unique folk cultures, and the wonders created by the industrious and brave people of various nationalities in Tibet in the course of building their homeland. Tibet is not only a place that many Chinese and foreigners are eager to visit, but also a "paradise" for photographers.
Also a uniquely spiritual place. Those moments of peace when everything is in its proper place, seem to come more frequently in Tibet, whether inspired by the devotion shown in the face of a Tibetan pilgrim or the dwarfing scale of a beautiful landscape. Tibet can truly claim to be on a higher plain.

The age-old path around Mt Kailash is one of the world’s great pilgrimage routes and completely encircles Asia’s holiest mountain. With a 5650m pass to conquer, this kora is a test of both the mind and the spirit.
There’s some gorgeous mountain scenery along this trek, including close-ups of the majestic pyramidal Mt Kailash, but just as rewarding is the chance to see and meet your fellow pilgrims, many of whom have travelled hundreds of kilometres on foot to get here. Apart from local Tibetans, there are normally dozens of Hindus on the kora during the main pilgrim season (June to September). Most ride horses, with yak teams carrying their supplies.
The route around Mt Kailash is a simple one: you start by crossing a plain, then head up a wide river valley, climb up and over the 5650m Drölma-la, head down another river valley, and finally cross the original plain to the starting point. It’s a perfect natural circuit and we find out how it has been a pilgrim's favourite for thousands of years. (Lonely Planet)

A pilgrimage to Mt Kailash involves nothing more or less than making circuits around the sacred mountain. The Outer Pilgrimage Circuit (Chikhor) is about 52 km, and Tibetans can complete a circuit in a day. The majority of pilgrims try for 13 circuits, if they can. Some pilgrims do a circuit performing Kyangcha (Prostration). While the average circuit takes about 14 hours to complete, those doing prostration can take a couple of weeks. Those seeking to secure their path to enlightenment try for 108 circuits. Buddhists and Hindus travel clockwise around the mountain while Bonpos travel counter-clockwise. Most travelers take three days to complete a circuit.
This coming June, join Adventures Unlimited in a once in a lifetime adventure as we traverse the entire Kora around the world's most holy mountain. This journey will change you and you will become a part of it.
This trip is fully tailored made to include visits to the very exclusive Zanda county and ruins of the Guge Kingdom (very seldom offered by mainstream operators).

Potala Palace
The Potala Palace, winter palace of the Dalai Lama since the 7th century, symbolizes Tibetan Buddhism and its central role in the traditional administration of Tibet. The complex, comprising the White and Red Palaces with their ancillary buildings, is built on Red Mountain in the centre of Lhasa Valley, at an altitude of 3,700m, the highest palace in the world. Also founded in the 7th century, the Jokhang Temple Monastery is an exceptional Buddhist religious complex. Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's former summer palace, constructed in the 18th century, is a masterpiece of Tibetan art. The beauty and originality of the architecture of these three sites, their rich ornamentation and harmonious integration in a striking landscape, add to their historic and religious interest. It is one of the World Heritage Site since 1994.
Still, the Potala Palace remains an iconic part of the region and a mecca for Buddhists around the world. The name Potala is a nod to a sacred mountain in India, where the Buddha of compassion is said to dwell. Year-round, thousands of religious pilgrims circle the perimeter of the palace with prayer wheels and beads to ask for blessing. Many have traveled thousands of miles by foot just to pay their respects.

Yamdrok, Yamdroktso (ཡར་འབྲོག་གཡུ་མཚོ། ), or Yamdrok Yumtso, is a breathtaking lake lying between the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, and the town of Gyantse. Yamdrok Lake is viewable along the old Friendship Highway that links Tibet with Nepal, and is a favorite route for those heading to Everest Base Camp. Sitting at an altitude of 4,441 meters above sea level, the lake is 130 kilometers in length and 70 kilometers in wide at its furthest spot. Yamdrok is the largest inland and freshwater lake on the northern Himalayan range with an average depth of 20 to 40 meters, and the deepest point being 60 meters.
Yamdrok Lake has a unique coral shape with numerous streams feeding it from nearby mountains, hence the locals refer to it as Coral Lake. It is also sometimes called Green Jade Lake for its smooth surface similar to the fine jade, and its gorgeous color hues from the reflection of sunlight.
Mt Qomolangma is the world's highest peak at 8,850m.
Standing at 8,848m high, Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain, located at the border between China and Nepal. Some call it "Qomolangma" which means "Mother Goddess of the Earth" in Tibet language. Mt Everest has two base camps: South Base Camp ( 5,364m ) in Nepal and North Base Camp ( 5,150m ) in Tibet.
The highest point of Mt. Everest is covered by white snow all the year around. When the dazzling sunshine on the snow mountain, the peak is just like a white pyramid miraculously transferred by the Goddess. With the thick freely moving clouds and fogs, it looks like as if a flag, with the mast of the peak was swinging, will shroud the peak, which is known as "Flag Cloud".

Ruins of the Guge Kingdom
The ruins of Guge are in what is today Zhada County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet. Guge is said to be the highest of ancient kingdoms located on the ridge of the Roof of the World, as Tibet is called. Marching westwards to Guge from the Tibetan capital of Lhasa is a long and hard journey that crosses a vast uninhabited desert.
The powerful Guge kingdom ruled over it for over 700 years from the 9th to 17th century. Altogether 16 kings ruled Guge. Yet, historical records reveal little about its rise and sudden demise. It was instead from some letters by western missionaries that people got to know more about the lost empire.
The ruins are the only visible legacy Guge has left behind.The ruins extend from the mid-ridge of a hill 300 m high at its peak and cover an area of 720,000 sq m. It is the second largest ruin in Tibet, after the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Archaeologists have unearthed 445 earthen and wooden structures, 879 caves, 58 blockhouses (a kind of fortification building), four secret tunnels, 28 stupas (traditional pagoda-shaped Buddhist monuments), granaries and weaponry storehouses.

Mount Kailash is considered holy by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. In ancient texts, it is referred to as the center of the world.
Hindus regard the peak as Shiva's symbolic 'Lingam' and worship Mt Kailash, which is the Sanskrit name for the mountain. Bonpos believe the sacred mountain to be the place where the founder of the Bon religion landed when he descended from the sky. Tibetan Buddhists believe Kang Rinpoche, which means Precious Snow Mountain, is a natural mandala representing the Buddhist cosmology on the earth and the Jains believe this is the place where their religion's founder was spiritually awakened.

那一世，我轉山轉水轉佛塔呀，不為修來世，只為途中與你相見。" - 六世達賴喇嘛倉央嘉措詩作
到了西藏, 不去阿里, 有点可惜;
去了阿里, 不去轉山, 留下遺憾;
围绕神山转一圈，可以洗清一世的罪孽,
转十圈，可以免受轮回之苦转百圈，今生可以成佛
and many more!

A word about trekking in high altitude places
At Adventures Unlimited, we take our participant's health and safety concerns seriously. Instances of acute mountain sickness (AMS) can affect your heart, lungs, muscles, and sensory system. If one's condition is extreme and he/she has little access to treatment, difficulties can prompt swelling in the cerebrum and lungs, bringing about unconsciousness or even death. Learning to anticipate, minimise and treat AMS when dealt with symptoms is vital in the mountains. At Adventures Unlimited, we bring our medical and monitoring equipments whenever we embark on a trip. We do not soley rely on our foreign partners and operators to supply them. Please click here to read and understand Adventures Unlimited's approach in dealing with acute mountain sickness. |
