For Hindus around the world, Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar hold profound spiritual significance. Mount Kailash is revered as the sacred abode of Lord Shiva, while Lake Manasarovar is believed to have been created by Lord Brahma and is associated with spiritual purification. For many devotees, undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra — including the Parikrama around the sacred mountain — represents a lifelong spiritual aspiration rather than an ordinary journey. Today, with improved access through Tibet, this revered journey has become possible for NRI and OCI cardholders, provided it is arranged in accordance with current travel and permit regulations.
