"Charan" refers to "feet " while "Sparsh" signifies "to touch." When combined they convey the act of touching someone's feet. It has been a tradition to respectfully touch the feet of Kailash Parbat, the abode of Shiva and Parvati. In return, they bestow blessings upon the individual by placing their hand on or, above the head.

Charan Sparsh is around 7 KM sizes pilgrimage from Derapuk monastery to the base north face of Kailash parvat. The pilgrimage culminates on the feet of Lord Kailash, who becomes united with Divya. The path starts from the east near the Derapuk monastery and is an easier walk. On the way, to Kailash darshan, you will see the water of milky color and snows held in the rock. You will receive blessings as if they were tendering the invisible armor behind them that spurs and lends strength. One thing you all should remember, it is the focal point of the Ganges pilgrimage site.

Touching the feet of Mount Kailash at the confluence of the Ganges is thought to bring about moksha prapti, symbolizing liberation. As per tradition, it is believed that the Ganges originates from Lord Shiva's locks (Jatta) with its sanctity derived from the water flowing from the melting snow of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.

Experience the inner kora walk

You will drive toward my Asthapath from Darchen then trek Saptarishi cave- Atmalingam and Icelingam. It is 3 three days hard journey of the south part of Kailash mountain staying in a tenting camp and touching base with the footprint kora. Charan Sparsh is yet another short -- one day hiking near Kailash towards the nort. This felicitous walking is also included in the Parikrama of Kailash from the inside. In this trek, you will also be at the feet of the north part of Mt Kailash! There is no need to do multiple walks, just one day of going for a reach and return from Dirapuk.

Kailash Charan Sparsh Tour Best Time

The best time to visit Mount Kailash is, from May to September, which is the dry season. The weather is pleasant then offering views of the mountain. Hiking trails are snow-free and easy to walk on during this period. However after September during the off-season, it might be more suitable for an expedition as you'll need visibility of the mountains. The trails will be slippery. Mansarovar Lake will be frozen over with layers of ice and snow. Additionally, local accommodations like lodges and tea houses may not be open during the off-season. Furthermore, there's a possibility that expeditions may not be permitted by the authorities due, to weather conditions.

Kailash Charan Sparsh Tour Difficulty

Mt Kailash Charan Sparsh Yatra is a physically as well as spiritually challenging task to set one on the journey of this pilgrimage. The level of difficulty also depends on your health, fitness level, and the route. With its high altitude, traveling to Tibet would inevitably result in the concern of potential height sickness. That is why it is extremely important to acclimate, or else you will be sick with altitude sickness. We advise you to drink a lot of water and keep yourself hydrated all throughout the trek. Moreover, if you notice any signal of warning, let the guide know about it and he will fix what needs to be fixed.

In the meantime, the weather is unpredictable here and we might be hit with occasional snow, rain, or strong winds. Then, coping with such weather is done by wearing layers of clothing and having the right gear. For others, however, the spiritual benefits outweigh everything else. You have to psychologically prepare your mind and enter the holy place with respect. And you always need to be in touch with a medical person).

Preparation of Kailash Charan Sparsa walking

It was a simple day walk, thus not requiring any special prepping. Remember this is walking for adventure. At most 7 km of this tour is rocky and terrible basket trail. Food and drinks should be adequate for the daytime, Wear proper clothing. There is no need to learn using crampons or ice axes. The route is slippery so be extra careful. Your guide/ helper should be there to show you the way, and also it is a good idea to hire personal help who will carry your day bag. For that Porter is available.

At times local army permission may be necessary. When the path gets totally filled up with snow and there is no safe way through, the local military can close it down depending on the situation at hand.

About Meal

Because of the travel restrictions from the government only possible do this yatra is through an agency.

There are several documents you need before traveling. In Tibet, it is no longer possible to travel alone with all international travelers joining pre-arranged and pre-booked tour groups under the guidance of recognized Tibetan tourism agencies. First, you will need a Chinese visa for entry into China so that you can visit Tibet afterwards. However, when applying for a visa at your local Chinese Embassy, it is better not to mention that you will be heading to Tibet as this may complicate the process of obtaining a visa itself. You should have scanned copies of your passport and visa after getting your visa here, which is the first permit that one will need. It takes around 15-20 days for the permit to be processed but during low season of Tibetan tourism it could take even less time.

As a consequence, the only way one can enter Tibet is by means of these two countries’ several entry points. If you go to Tibet from mainland China, you will need to apply for a Chinese visa well in advance in your home country. Direct flights are available from major cities of mainland China such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Kunming etcetera. Travelers may take a train from Xining town or other major cities like Beijing, Chengdu, Xi'an, and Shanghai to reach Tibet.

Similarly, tourists going through Nepal have to apply for Chinese group visas at the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu even if they have already gotten their Chinese visas. Within about three official working days the group visa will be ready. It takes around an hour and a half to fly directly into Kathmandu and visitors could ascend onto the roof of the world, Lhasa. Lhasa via Everest North Face with a 6-day journey including visiting Everest Base Camp on the north side is another option for reaching Lhasa.
