Diary of a Pilgrim

Separated from the Himalayan ranges, Mount Kailash stands majestically about 16500 feet above the sea level, on a flat plateau overlooking the lakes and plains of Tibet. Mount Kailash has never been scaled. Since time immemorial, the region surrounding Mount Kailash has been associated with mystical beings and the occult. Kailash is a symbol of faith and divinity for followers of four major religions of the world. Despite the hardships faced due to the high altitude and cold climate, the faithful have been circumambulating Mount Kailash for the past thousands of years for deliverance from defilements of past lives. Some circle Mount Kailash for great indulgences in the present life.

Lake Mansarovar is a freshwater lake at the highest altitude on Earth and is the source of the four major rivers--Ganges, Brahmaputra, Indus and Sutlej-- of the Indian peninsula.
There are recorded accounts of many saints who have endorsed the Kailash Mansarovar region as a region charged with spiritual energy, ideally suited to experiencing deep meditation and super-consciousness. This is the land of miraculous panacea herbs and the divine beings.
This book is a travelogue with a difference: it not only gives a description of spiritual wandering in the most revered region of Kailash Mansarovar, but it also serves as a guide for the enthusiasts who are planning a pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar.
