Manasasarovar Yatra 2009
Manasasarovar Yatra 2nd to 13th July 2009
The trip of a lifetime...or many lifetimes - Wow! An Ultimate & A Blissful Yatra.
Manasasarovar
In 1984, Chinese authorities first opened Tibet to the outside world. Today, it is still extremely difficult to reach the region, and the obstacles that people meet in trying to get here are frequently attributed to the sacred power of the mountain itself, which allows only those with sufficient spiritual preparation to gain a glimpse of its magical presence.
Holy Manasarovar in the form of dark blue waters is the most beautiful and highest fresh water lake at around 15,508 ft altitude. Manasarovar is to the south of Kailash mountain. It’s water is very sweet and said to posses medicinal properties. It is about four million years old. In Skanda Purana, it was stated that the lake was created out of Brahma’s mind. Hence it is called Manasa Sarovar. Sanaka, Sanandanna and other maharishis performed tapas here. It is said that Buddha’s mother before Budhdha's birth dreamt about a white elephant from Kailash mountain entering her womb. Daily at Brahma Muhurth time, it is said that Devatas come down and take bath, especially on the northern side. On fullmoon days people see the stars(Devatas) descending into the lake and go back. Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes have been mixed in these waters. It was also said that Arjuna received his pasupathastra here.
It was described in Mahabharata that Bhagavan Krishna went along with the pandavas and Dhoumya Maharshi to Mount Kailas from Badrinath. After fifteen days they reached there and were welcomed by Lord Mahadeva Himself whose darshan and hospitality made them very happy. Hence it well said that Lord Mahadeva gives darshan only to deserving people.

The yatra was indeed memorable with all of us experiencing an inner satisfaction and joy that comes only from truly blessed events. Each yatri to Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar will have unique experiences based on their spiritual inclinations and the grace of the lord at various times during the trips
Overview
Our group consisted of 9 people from various locations in United States. We had expert guidance and travel arrangement from Mr. Babu Sherpa and Mrs. Manila Sherpa of Kailashtours- Kathmandu . Before embarking the main tour, we visited various attractions in Kathmandu including Pashupatinath temple and Swayambhu, Buddha's temple.
On arrival in Kathmandu airport, we were warmly received by our hosts Mr. & Mrs. Babu Sherpa and we were taken to Hyatt Regency hotel. Final briefing/instructions for the trip were given to us on the evening of the 30th June,2009. On July 2nd 2009, we set out our journey to Manasa Sarovar and Kailas Parikrama.
Memorable events
Before planning our trip, our purpose to visit Mt.Kailash is in our beleif that going there with this body itself would be a great achievement. During our first day of parikrama to Mt.Kailash, I had also visualised that what ever written in our puranas, we could see. It was like a movie setting Those are not just mountains ,but symbolic representation of various deities. We saw on Ganesha parvath Ganesha engraved on the mountain. And the most importantly Kailash parvath surrounded between the brown mountains is very big black granite in color with Lord Shiva engraved on it. For clear sighting Shiva engraved on this mountain ,we had to use a binoculars - ( The Face, Eyes, Nose, Mouth and Feet). We saw Lord Shiva in a sitting posture. This is the North face of Mt.Kailash. When we sighted Lord Shiva , we felt that all our tiredness was gone and our dream to visit Mt.Kailash was fulfilled. We thought that we were blessed by Lord Shiva after we saw him in close and clear.
All through during the yatra we were helped a lot by Mrs.Manila Sherpa, our tour leader who accompanied us along with Nepalese cooks and Sherpas. My guide -Mr. Prashant Sherpa helped me a lot during parikrama. I would say that without Mr.Prashant Sherpa's help, it would not be possible for us to complete our parikrama. I pray to god to fulfill all his desires in his life. At start of trip in Nepal we purchased few Rudrakshas and took them to Manasasarovar. During the trip, we mispalced those and thought we lost them,but to our surprise after reaching Nepal, Mr. Prashant Sherpa was able to find those and returned back to us. Getting the Rudrakshas back we thought we were truly blessed by Kailashpathi.

Nepal - The start of our wonderful journey....

Inside the beautiful Hyatt
Nepal
Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu is very beautiful. It is located at a height 4500 feet above sea level. Kathmandu Valley is believed to have been created out of a primordial lake by the Buddhist saint Manjushree who drained out the waters by slashing a passage in the surrounding hills and made it inhabiltable.When we walk through streets of Kathmandu, we do not realise the truth that we are walking through middle of the Himalaya.
Pashupathinath on the banks of the Vagmati river is one of the holy temples for Hindus. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Pashupathinath is one of the Ashta Moorthies called Yajamana. The temple is of architectural beauty and about 2000 years old. There is a huge 20 feet high Nandi. The main Siva Linga is only 3 feet high and has four faces. One face is pointing to the sky. There are also several other idols in the temple.
Swayambunath Temple: This is Hindu-Buddhist Temple situated on a mountain. It is also called Monkey Temple. One has to climb 400 steps to reach this temple. On a 20 feet stupa like structure, there is a huge Shiva linga, which is again of 45 feet high. The Siva Ling has four faces, on four directions, each face having three eyes.
In the old city of Khantmadu, we can also see the living godess kumari. It is not not alloved to photograph Kumari and we could only see her. We also visited the museum that has Nepalese atrifacts and paintings
Before the trip and after return we stayed for fews days at Hyatt Regency hotel in Kathmandu. We had very comfortable stay there. We enjoyed the delicious food, quiet atmosphere and the nice walking path around the hotel complex.
The above are a few photos taken from Hyatt Regency, Pashupathinath Temple, Swayambhu stupa and the living place of godess kumari and Buddha Neelakanta Temple.
Tibet - The most unique place on earth!

Tibet
Tibet is a rich and beautiful land with an average altitude over 4,000m (13,120ft) above sea level. India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma and Kashmir all border Tibet (Now China). Temples and monasteries, lakes and rivers, and mighty snow clad peaks are just a few of the intoxicating wonders to be experienced by adventurous travelers who get the opportunity to visit this land. Buddhism, with a history of some 1,300 years is shaped into a unique form of "Lamaism". Tibet is home to eleven Himalayan mountains over 8,000m (26,240ft). We enjoyed visiting the land rich in mountains, monks, mystery and adventure.
High Altitude: Acclimatization & Sickness
"Climb high, sleep low" - If symptoms increase, go down, down, down!
Traveling at high altitude can be dangerous.......
Almost everyone who travels to Central or Western Tibet will suffer from the effects of altitude.How greatly one is affected by altitude varies from person to person and depends in part on how gradually one has made the ascent into Tibet.Obviously, acclimatization is much more difficult if you fly in than if you drive.The so-called “early mountain sickness” usually develops during the first two or three days at high altitude. Its symptoms include headache, nausea and loss of appetite, sleeplessness, and difficulty breathing. People will be affected in different ways and not all the symptoms need to be present. If you experience some or all of the symptoms, you definitely should not go any higher until they have disappeared.
What is High Altitude?
Altitude is defined on the following scale High (8,000 - 12,000 feet [2,438 - 3,658 meters]), Very High (12,000 - 18,000 feet [3,658 - 5,487 meters]), and Extremely High (18,000+ feet [5,500+ meters]). Since few people have been to such altitudes, it is hard to know who may be affected. There are no specific factors such as age, sex, or physical condition that correlate with susceptibility to altitude sickness. Some people get it and some people don't, and some people are more susceptible than others. Most people can go up to 8,000 feet (2,438 meters) with minimal effect. If you haven't been to high altitude before, it's important to be cautious. If you have been at that altitude before with no problem, you can probably return to that altitude without problems as long as you are properly acclimatized.
Acclimatization
The major cause of altitude illnesses is going too high too fast. Given time, your body can adapt to the decrease in oxygen molecules at a specific altitude. This process is known as acclimatization and generally takes 1-3 days at that altitude. For example, if you hike to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), and spend several days at that altitude, your body acclimatizes to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters). If you climb to 12,000 feet (3,658 meters), your body has to acclimatize once again. A number of changes take place in the body to allow it to operate with decreased oxygen.
Prevention of Altitude Illnesses
Prevention of altitude illnesses falls into two categories, proper acclimatization and preventive medications. Below are a few basic guidelines for proper acclimatization.
If possible, don't fly or drive to high altitude. Start below 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) and walk up. If you do fly or drive, do not over-exert yourself or move higher for the first 24 hours. If you go above 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), only increase your altitude by 1,000 feet (305 meters) per day and for every 3,000 feet (915 meters) of elevation gained, take a rest day. "Climb High and sleep low." This is the maxim used by climbers. You can climb more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) in a day as long as you come back down and sleep at a lower altitude. If you begin to show symptoms of moderate altitude illness, don't go higher until symptoms decrease (& Don't go up until symptoms go down"). If symptoms increase, go down, down, down! Keep in mind that different people will acclimatize at different rates. Make sure all of your party is properly acclimatized before going higher. Stay properly hydrated. Acclimatization is often accompanied by fluid loss, so you need to drink lots of fluids to remain properly hydrated (at least 3-4 quarts per day). Urine output should be copious and clear. Take it easy; don't over-exert yourself when you first get up to altitude. Light activity during the day is better than sleeping because respiration decreases during sleep, exacerbating the symptoms. Avoid tobacco and alcohol and other depressant drugs including, barbiturates, tranquilizers, and sleeping pills. These depressants further decrease the respiratory drive during sleep resulting in a worsening of the symptoms. Eat a high carbohydrate diet (more than 70% of your calories from carbohydrates) while at altitude. The acclimatization process is inhibited by dehydration, over-exertion, and alcohol and other depressant drugs.

Manasasarovar Yatra planning
"Get in shape"
It is recommended that you start a moderate training program 6-8 months before departure, and then slowly build up to a more strenuous level. The level of fitness needed for a trekking adventure requires regular aerobic exercise for at least one hour 4 -5 times a week. This may include aerobic fitness classes, running, cycling on hills, swimming and cross country skiing. Additionally, you must be able to sustain exercise for prolonged periods - and for days in a row. Finally, you must have some experience with exercise at altitude.
As part of training, we walked everyday 5 miles around the lake in Minnesota. But walking uphill will also help you to finish your three day parikrama around Mt.Kailash very easily.
