Mount Kailash Charan Sparsha is a part of Kailash Inner walk, one of the most sacred tours in the world for Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon religions. It is to walk up to the base of Mt Kailash from north side of Kailash face and touch its base. It is believed that lord Shiva used to reside in Mount Kailash. With that belief, people consider Mount Kailash to be one holy tour that they have to conquer once in their lifetime.
Since, there are no expeditions to climb the peak of Mount Kailash, people visit Mount Kailash as Mount Kailash Charan Sparsha Tour where Charan means “feet '' and Sparsh means “to touch”.
So, the meaning behind Mount Kailash Charan Sparsha is to touch the feet of Mount Kailash and receive the more blessings and energy where lord Shiva had lived with his family.
Mount Kailash Charan Sparsha tour begins either from the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu to the Kerung Border or from Lhasa the capital of Tibet. The trek starts from Derapuk monastery which is located approximately around 7 kilometers from the sacred pilgrimage site valley of the God also called Yamadwar.
Furthermore, people also believe that, the holy river Ganges origins from the melted snow of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.
