Tour Plan
? Sacred Union: A Journey Through Yoga, Silence & Sound at the Feet of Shiva
Mount Kailash Inner Kora & Manasarovar Retreat (35 Days)
A Pilgrimage into the Heart of Being
? OVERVIEW: The Sacred Connection
Mount Kailash is not merely a mountain—it is the axis mundi, the center of the world, the silent throne of Lord Shiva, the cosmic stillness from which all movement begins. At its feet lies Lake Manasarovar, the radiant mirror of Shakti, the divine feminine. Together, they form the eternal dance of consciousness and energy, stillness and flow.
To walk here is not just a pilgrimage of body, but of mind, spirit, and vibration. In this retreat, we don’t just travel—we merge. Through Yoga, we align body and breath. Through Meditation, we dissolve mind into stillness. Through Nāda Yoga (Sound Healing with Singing Bowls), we vibrate in harmony with the primal sound—AUM, the soundless sound.
