Kailash Yatra

Features
Read full description

Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva. The 52km parikrama around the mountain is among the most spiritually transformative acts a devotee can undertake. This app accompanies you from your first day of preparation to your final step at Dolma La — and every sacred site in between. SACRED LOCATIONS Explore several sacred sites across the full yatra — from the temples of Kathmandu and Nepal to the high plateau of Tibet: Nepal: Pashupatinath Temple, Guhyeshwari Shakti Peetha, Manakamana Temple, Muktinath Tibet: Mansarovar Lake, Rakshas Tal, Kyirong, Darchen, Yam Dwar, Diraphuk, Kailash Charan Sparsa, Dolma La Pass, Zuthulphuk, Gauri Kund Each location includes a full-width photograph, spiritual significance drawn from Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Bon traditions, practical guidance, and linked audio teachings. VISUAL TOUR Step through all 14 sacred sites in a guided full-screen tour — photographs, descriptions, altitude, and the spiritual context of each place. See where you are going before you go. Return to it on the mountain when you are there. AUDIO LIBRARY Stotras and teachings curated for the Kailash yatra: Shiva Panchakshara Stotram Lingashtakam Shivashtakam Kailash Stavam Kora prayers and Om Namah Shivaya sequences Morning and evening sadhana sequences Teachings on the significance of parikrama MEDITATION Structured meditation sessions for daily sadhana during preparation — opening gong, silence, Om Namah Shivaya, closing gong. Choose your duration. Sit. Dissolve. PREPARATION TRACKER The kora reaches 5,636m at Dolma La. Preparation in the months before departure is not optional — it is part of the pilgrimage itself. Log daily: Hiking distance, breathwork, altitude training Shiva Panchakshara japa, meditation, puja See your streak, your countdown to departure, and how your fellow travelers are preparing alongside you. YATRA CHECKLIST A comprehensive pre-departure checklist signed off by your tour operator — gear, medications, documents (Tibet permit, travel insurance), and spiritual items. Mark essentials separately from optional items. Add your own. Track your readiness. ITINERARY Day-by-day through the full journey — Kathmandu, Nepal temples, Muktinath, the Tibet drive, Mansarovar, all three kora days, and the return. Distance, elevation, logistics, and the spiritual significance of each stage. BUILT FOR THIS JOURNEY Kailash Yatra is built by a pilgrim, for pilgrims — designed specifically for the Kailash parikrama and Mansarovar experience. Every feature exists to help you arrive prepared, present, and open to what the mountain offers. Om Namah Shivaya.
