Everything You Need to Know About Kailash Saga Dawa Festival Tour in Tibet

featured image

Mount Kailash stands tall in the Western Tibetan plateau in all its grandeur and magnificence. Although Kang Rinpoche, as it is called in Tibetan sees footfalls (not to the peak of course, which is the heavenly abode of Gods and Goddesses) all through the year, the Saga Dawa festival brings more observers to the area! And the Tibet festival tours give special significance to the Saga Dawa conducted in the month of June in Mount Kailash.

The Mount Kailash, as we know is one of the holiest and most sacred mountains of the world. The mountain is not just religiously sacred and significant to the Bons of the area, but the Buddhists, Jains, and Hindus too. This is one of the reasons why Mount Kailash sees a lot of people coming all through the year to worship in reverence the abode of the Gods from far.

The Saga Dawa Festival

The festival of Saga Dawa begins in May and ends in June. The starting and the ending of the festivities depend upon the lunar calendar of the Tibetan Buddhists. The ‘Saga Dawa’ can be translated as the ‘Month of merits’ and therefore, celebrates the life of Buddha in various stages such as the birth, death and the enlightenment of Lord Buddha.

Since the month has so many merits to place, it is auspicious of all the months, and therefore, considered a perfect one for taking a pilgrimage. The Tibet festival tours are organized to bring pilgrims and visitors from across the world to various religious places. But the most significant of the places of visit that the pilgrims explore is Mount Kailash, especially during the month of Saga Dawa.

Practices and festivities of the month of Saga Dawa

Unlike the other festivals where the glitters and artifacts are in place, Saga Dawa is more sacred. The festival in celebration of birth, death, and nirvana of the Sakyamuni or Buddha, therefore, is observed by sparing the animals and insects or anything else from killing. Many bring such animals as crickets and fishes and release them in Mount Kailash, a way to indicate their lives have been spared.

These custom plays a very important significance to the Buddhists of Tibetan origin. They believe that the lives of those who release the insects are prolonged due to this ritual.

A kora or circumnavigation of the Mount Kailash is also an important ritual performed by the pilgrims during the Saga Dawa. One round or circumambulation of the holy Mount Kailash is considered to be equivalent to 100,000 times on any other holy place.

The new fluttering flags on Mount Kailash

Another colorful attraction and addition to the festivities is the tying of new prayer flags on the flagpole at Tarboche. Many come on the Tibet festival tours to tie these prayer flags on the new prayer flagpole and to help their prayers to reach the almighty through constant fluttering and drawing His attention to the prayer.

The 25 meters high pole is considered the tallest in Tibet. The devotees and the visitors on the festival tour tie the prayer flag before it goes up high on the sky, taking their prayers with it.

The whole festival is quite fascinating, especially to those traveling on a Tibet festival tour for the first time. Although it becomes crowded up there near the holy mountain, it is an experience that one should explore at least once in a lifetime!

Some of The Most Popular Winter Tours in Tibet

featured image

With Tibet located at such a high altitude, is it wise to travel in the winters to this place? Or would it be frozen and inaccessible due to all that snow from the mountains and glaciers?

Surprisingly, the Tibet Winter tours are regarded as popular with many takers as the other such tours during the peak season. There are several reasons as to why people prefer to travel during winter when the typical season begins in April and ends by November.

  • The off-season discounts are enormous, and so you save a lot of money on your Tiber travel
  • There is less crowd everywhere, therefore, making it all the more silent and serene to enjoy the views offered
  • The winter weather is perfect for perfect views of the snow-covered peaks. With no heat to deflect or melt the snow and form the mist which covers the peaks, the winter sun is completely friendlier to the peak viewers, presenting them with enchanting views of the mountains all through.
  • The facilities such as the hotels and stays are occupied minimally, therefore making it easier for you to get the best possible places at good discounts
  • You get to experience the local culture and religious practices through their festivals and functions and prayers than when you visit them during the peak season. Wherever you see, you get the uninterrupted view of the Tibetans enjoying their everyday life.

So, if you are planning to take upon the challenge of traveling to Tibet in winter, then here are some of the tours that might keep you enthralled.

The Lhasa to Tsetang Winter tour

The Southern part of Tibet or the Lhoka is more scenic with sand dunes and lakes and many more. This is the best part to explore on a Tibet winter tour. The trip begins at the Lhasa airport and proceeds to the Yarlung valley and the first Tibetan castle, the Yumbu Lhakang. The trip then takes you to some of the oldest religious places, such as the Traduk temple and the Samye monastery.

While the capital city of Lhasa is something that every person should experience in their trip to Tibet, the winter tour to the place will bring in the very essence of the city. The beautiful monasteries, temples and the Palace will be shrouded with snow all around and decorated with religious fervor to celebrate various festivals.

Lhasa to Nyingtri Tour

This is again one of the famous winter tours, which takes you to the Nyingtri or the Nyingchi level city. What makes the visit even more special is the fact that the trip from Lhasa to Nyingtri, at a distance of 420 kilometers is dotted with some very magnificent and scenic spots. Although the destination has its attractions, the trip, and the snow-capped peaks along the way make up for the winter weather or any discomfort you might experience due to the altitude.

Everest Base Camp, Terdrom nunnery and the Sakya

When you are in Tibet, definitely do as most visitors do – this should be true at least for the Everest base camp. When you have traveled so far, how can you miss out on that sneak peek of the great Everest? The Winter presents MT Everest in all its glory and magnificence to the on-lookers.

The Terdrom nunnery and the monasteries of Drigung Thiil and the Sakya are some of the other attractions well enjoyed even when the air is chilly and the jackets are out! The beauty of the mountains which snugly guard Tibet is enhanced manifolds during the winter season. The festivals of Palden Lhamo and the Labrang Monastery butter sculpture exhibition only increase this effect Tibet has on the winter tourists!

Tibet winter tour has several attractions to offer a tourist, as the peak season. Why not try Tibet at its serene best during this season to enjoy the warmth and solitude of the country?

A Detailed Guide To Yamdrok Lake Trek

featured image

The Rooftop of the world, the place where the mountains stand up high and tall to conference with the clouds – Tibet, has several treasures to unfold for the unawares.

Yamdrok lake treks are also one of the wonders for which people visit the place from all over the world. So, what is so special about a lake, when there are millions to explore around the globe? Let us explore the reason why tourists find a trek to Yamdrok fascinating.

The Lake and its Significance

The Yamdrok Lake or the Yamdrok Yumtso in Tibetan is a freshwater lake high up on the mountains. However, the lake is not just famous for its presence in the high altitude, but for its length. The Yamdrok Lake stretches up to 72 kilometers, or 45 miles and therefore, covers a large surface area up in the mountains.

Yamdrok Lake is also one amongst the three lakes in Tibet which is sacred and spiritual. The lake is considered to be the dwelling area of Goddesses and therefore, is visited by many localities and people from Asian countries for its religious significance. The legend has it that if ever the Yamdrok Lake dries up, Tibet will cease to exist. The lake is in the southern part of Tibet, in the Nangartse County of the Shannan prefecture and is visited by many religious leaders throughout the year and on special occasions.

Peak Seasons to Visit

While the Lake definitely is in its elements all through the year, the best place to visit the lake is in the months of April to November. As one can understand, these are the peak season months in Tibet, and therefore, a Tibet Trek tour is only possible in these seasons where the harsh weather gives some respite for the tourists who want to visit the place.

The local tour operators in Tibet organize tours and treks and mountain bike rides to Yamdrok all through the season. Instead of just traveling directly to the lake itself, the tours usually take treks and turns into various beautiful spots for the visitors to enjoy. For instance, a Tibet tour trek to Yamdrok from Lhasa will take you to the Kyichu valley, and the Lhasa city itself to soak in the magnificence of the temples, summer palaces, and monasteries. You then get to visit those Tibetan villages and camp at the Lhemachen too. The view of the Gongkar county and the Dol valley is something every trekker will remember for a lifetime.

When you reach the Lake campsite itself, the view of the Kurla Kangri snow mountain will leave you just spellbound. The lake itself, with its turquoise blue shimmering water and its peaceful flow, will enchant you with its beauty and serene existence.

While the major attraction is the lake and its turquoise blue water and all its religious significance, people travel here to the campsite to watch some unique fauna and flora. The lake is home to several migratory birds. One can see many such beautiful birds flying across the sky to make their temporary abode in the lake.

Preparations Expect from Yamdrok Lake Trek

Yamdrok Lake and the other such freshwater lakes present not just challenge, also represents the integral culture and religion of the place. Since any Tibet tour trek will include the Yamdrok Lake visit, you might encounter the lake in all its majestic appearance one time or the other during those tours. However, if you are interested in fauna and flora of the place and enchanted with the tales about the lake, then make a special visit to Yamdrok to soak in its warmth and mystery. Book yourself on one such Tibet Tour trek which exclusively aims at reaching Yamdrok to spend a few days in the laps of Mother Nature!

Tibet Tour: When Should You Visit the Tibetan Plateau?

Tibet is best known for its enchanting views of the snow-covered peaks and the fascinating treks it has to offer to a traveler. The monasteries and the temples are again places of interest to many visiting the place.

However, there are several serious considerations and preparations that need to be done before one can embark on a trip to this fascinating destination. One of the major considerations is for the weather. With so much snow in place and all those peaks overlooking the plateau, it is no wonder that the country experiences harsh weather most of the year. The season or the peak season for visiting the country, therefore, is limited to a few months of the year.  So, if you are embarking on a Tibet tour, you need to plan well before your travel time.

While ideally, the tourist season starts from April to the middle of November, one can enjoy Tibet from April to middle of November too. Careful preparations and a good tour guide can make them visit possible even during the off-seasons, which might pose a challenge and a lot of adventure to the visitors.

The November to the beginning of January is a very sunny weather and even if it is becoming colder and the winter is already stared. During the day time, is still warm and comfortable weather. January and February is the coldest season and experience severe to very severe snowfall in the higher plateau of Tibet like Mount Kailash and Everest regions and all that it entitles. Since you come with a plan to enjoy the Tibet tour, the ideal seasons to travel would be what the Tour operators call the peak season. During the summer months or the late spring, the place will be all set to receive its visitors. The roads will be free of snow and the lakes that are high up on the mountains will be accessible through the road. And most of all, the Everest base camp would be open to the visitors and permits can be obtained to experience the Tibetan hospitality at large.

Another major factor which influences people to come to Tibet is those famous and colorful festivities during special occasions. There are many festivals that the Tibetans celebrate, either to welcome their new-year or as a special offering to the Goddesses. The offering day at the monasteries and the butter and lamp festivals, all present such a delightful sight to the visitors. The travel agencies and visitors plan their Tibet tours to fall during these festivals to enjoy the delightful sights.

And, peak seasons and permits aside, the planning for a travel to one of the highest locations of the world should be done keeping in view of your interests. Instead of just blindly booking into any tour package offered, look into what all is included in the tour. Are the treks taking you to the places of your interest? Are they going to provide you with the best stays along the way? Are you going to experience the Tibetan hospitality at those quaint little villages? These points make the most interesting lists when you are preparing for a Tibet tour, any time of the year!

After all, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity – make the most of it by planning well ahead of your travel!
