Unlike conventional tours, this program is a sacred confluence of knowledge and experience. It allows participants to explore Kailash’s spiritual depth academically while also living the pilgrimage journey in Tibet. It is not just a seminar, nor just a trek—it is a transformational spiritual summit.
The Kailash & Himalaya Spiritual Seminar – Tibet & Nepal is a unique fusion of academic learning and sacred pilgrimage designed for seekers, scholars, and spiritual practitioners. This program blends the intellectual richness of an academic seminar in Kathmandu with the transformative experience of a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, the most revered spiritual sites of the Himalayas.
Kathmandu, Nepal – The journey begins in the cultural capital of Nepal, where a spiritual and academic seminar brings together monks, pilgrims, scholars, and wellness leaders to discuss the profound significance of Mount Kailash and the Himalayas.
Mount Kailash & Lake Manasarovar, Tibet – The seminar extends into a sacred journey with a meditative kora (circumambulation) around Mount Kailash and purification rituals at Lake Manasarovar.
This program is designed as a twofold experience:
Academic & Spiritual Seminar in Kathmandu – Engage in lectures, dialogues, and teachings from Buddhist monks, Hindu scholars, and wellness leaders. Explore the sacred traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon, all connected to Mount Kailash’s universal symbolism.
Pilgrimage & Meditation in Tibet – After the seminar, participants embark on a guided spiritual extension, performing the Kailash Kora, meditating by Lake Manasarovar, and experiencing rituals that connect body, mind, and spirit with the Himalayas.
The Kailash & Himalaya Spiritual Seminar is designed for:
Monks and spiritual teachers
Pilgrims seeking deeper meaning in the Kailash Yatra
Scholars and researchers of Himalayan culture and philosophy
Wellness leaders, yoga practitioners, and seekers of inner transformation
