Kailash and Lake Manasarovar” - Skanda Purana” Holy Mount Kailash is believed as an important pilgrimage destination as well as a power point, where it is possible to gain inspiration and energy to transform oneself from this physical to higher spiritual level. The custom of circumambulating Mount Kailash is believed to purify the soul and cultivate in each visiting pilgrim the ability to experience the divinity. The experience is elevating and inspiring, and many pilgrims return to their homes with feeling of exaltation and spiritual inspiration. Karnali Excursions is one of the first tour agencies in Nepal to offer pilgrimage to Holy Mount Kailash in 1994, when China opened its doors to tourism. Ever the since, it has been organizing a well-organized and spiritually fulfilling experience for those who join with us for this pilgrimage of a lifetime. Our services: • We teach techniques to acclimatize in high altitude. • We start the day with prayers. • We demonstrate walking and trekking techniques. • We provide personal escort and support to senior citizens and needy ones. • The journey is led by professional team leader and support staffs. • We serve North Indian, Chinese, Gujrati and South Indian pure vegetarian meals Karnali Excursions Kailash Yatra 2020 4 Yatra Route Maps Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra Route Map Kerung Rasuwa Gadhi Chardham Yatra Route Map Shree Amarnath Yatra Route Map Janakpur Dham-Lumbini-Muktinath Yatra Route Map 4 Karnali Excursions Kailash Yatra 2020 5 Fixed Departure Dates of Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra & Other Pilgrimages ARRIVE IN FLY TO RETURN TO FLY TO SN BATCH KTM LHASA KTM HOME KE 1 June I KE 1.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 2 June 2020 5 June 2020 15 June 2020 16 June 2020 KE 1.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 30 May 2020 5 June 2020 15 June 2020 16 June 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 1.3 27 May 2020 5 June 2020 15 June 2020 16 June 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 2 June II KE 2.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 9 June 2020 12 June 2020 23 June 2020 24 June 2020 KE 2.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 6 June 2020 12 June 2020 23 June 2020 24 June 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 2.3 3 June 2020 12 June 2020 23 June 2020 24 June 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 3 June III KE 3.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 14 June 2020 17 June 2020 27 June 2020 28 June 2020 KE 3.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 11 June 2020 17 June 2020 27 June 2020 28 June 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 3.3 8 June 2020 17 June 2020 27 June 2020 28 June 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 3.4 Kailash-Mansarovar with Shree Amarnath Yatra 14 June 2020 17 June 2020 27 June 2020 7 July 2020 KE 4 June IV KE 4.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 23 June 2020 26 June 2020 6 July 2020 7 July 2020 KE 4.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 20 June 2020 26 June 2020 6 July 2020 7 July 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 4.3 17 June 2020 26 June 2020 6 July 2020 7 July 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 5 July I KE 5.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 5 July 2020 8 July 2020 18 July 2020 20 July 2020 Karnali Excursions Kailash Yatra 2020 6 KE 5.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 2 July 2020 8 July 2020 18 July 2020 20 July 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 5.3 29 June 2020 8 July 2020 18 July 2020 20 July 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 6 July II KE 6.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 19 July 2020 22 July 2020 1 Aug 2020 3 Aug 2020 KE 6.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 16 July 2020 22 July 2020 1 Aug 2020 3 Aug 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 6.3 13 July 2020 22 July 2020 1 Aug 2020 3 Aug 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 7 Aug I KE 7.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 2 Aug 2020 5 Aug 2020 15 Aug 2020 17 Aug 2020 KE 7.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 30 July 2020 5 Aug 2020 15 Aug 2020 17 Aug 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 7.3 27 July 2020 5 Aug 2020 15 Aug 2020 17 Aug 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 8 Aug II KE 8.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 16 Aug 2020 19 Aug 2020 29 Aug 2020 31 Aug 2020 KE 8.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 13 Aug 2020 19 Aug 2020 29 Aug 2020 31 Aug 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 8.3 10 Aug 2020 19 Aug 2020 29 Aug 2020 31 Aug 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 9 Sep I KE 9.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 30 Aug 2020 2 Sept 2020 12 Sept 2020 14 Sept 2020 KE 9.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 27 Aug 2020 2 Sept 2020 12 Sept 2020 14 Sept 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 9.3 24 Aug 2020 2 Sept 2020 12 Sept 2020 14 Sept 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 9.4 Kailash-Mansarovar with Char Dham Yatra 30 Aug 2020 2 Sept 2020 12 Sept 2020 28 Sept 2020 KE 10 Sep II KE 10.1 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra only 6 Sept 2020 9 Sept 2020 19 Sept 2020 21 Sept 2020 KE 10.2 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath Darshan 3 Sept 2020 9 Sept 2020 19 Sept 2020 21 Sept 2020 Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra with Muktinath-Janakpur- KE 10.3 31 Aug 2020 9 Sept 2020 19 Sept 2020 21 Sept 2020 Devghat-Valmiki Ashram-Lumbini KE 10.4 Kailash-Mansarovar with Char Dham Yatra 6 Sept 2020 9 Sept 2020 19 Sept 2020 5 Oct 2020 6 Karnali Excursions Kailash Yatra 2020 7 1.

  • Circumambulation in Indian Pilgrimage: Meaning And
    232 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & ENGINEERING RESEARCH, VOLUME 12, ISSUE 1, JANUARY-2021 ISSN 2229-5518 Circumambulation in Indian pilgrimage: Meaning and manifestation Santosh Kumar Abstract— Our ancient literature is full of examples where pilgrimage became an immensely popular way of achieving spiritual aims while walking. In India, many communities have attached spiritual importance to particular places or to the place where people feel a spiritual awakening. Circumambulation (pradakshina) around that sacred place becomes the key point of prayer and offering. All these circumambulation spaces are associated with the shrines or sacred places referring to auspicious symbolism. In Indian tradition, circumambulation has been practice in multiple scales ranging from a deity or tree to sacred hill, river, and city. The spatial character of the path, route, and street, shift from an inside dwelling to outside in nature or city, depending upon the central symbolism. The experience of the space while walking through sacred space remodel people's mental and physical character. As a result, not only the sacred space but their design and physical characteristics can be both meaningful and valuable to the public. This research has been done by exploring in two stage to finalize the conclusion, In which First stage will involve a literature exploration of Hindu and Buddhist scripture to understand the meaning and significance of circumambulation and in second, will investigate the architectural manifestation of various element in circumambulatory which help to attain its meaning and true purpose. Index Terms— Pilgrimage, Circumambulation, Spatial, Sacred, Path, Hinduism, Temple architecture —————————— —————————— 1 Introduction Circumambulation ‘Pradakshinā’, According to Rig Vedic single light source falling upon central symbolism plays a verses1, 'Pra’ used as a prefix to the verb and takes on the vital role.

  • Perhaps Do a Series and Take One Particular Subject at a Time
    perhaps do a series and take one particular subject at a time. Sadhguru just as I was coming to see you I saw this little piece in one of the newspapers which said that one doesn’t know about India being a super power but when it comes to mysticism, the world looks to Indian gurus as the help button on the menu. You’ve been all over the world and spoken at many international events, what is your take on all the divine gurus traversing the globe these days? India as a culture has invested more time, energy and human resource toward the spiritual development of human beings for a very long time. This can only happen when there is a stable society for long periods without much strife. While all other societies were raked by various types of wars, and revolutions, India remained peaceful for long periods of time. So they invested that time in spiritual development, and it became the day to day ethos of every Indian. The world looking towards India for spiritual help is nothing new. It has always been so in terms of exploring the inner spaces of a human being-how a human being is made, what is his potential, where could he be taken in terms of his experiences. I don’t think any culture has looked into this with as much depth and variety as India has. Mark Twain visited India and after spending three months and visiting all the right places with his guide he paid India the ultimate compliment when he said that anything that can ever be done by man or God has been done in this land.

ABSTRACT The surprising difference in elevation present within a small width, no doubt gives enough head for hydropower generation in most of the rivers of Nepal. The hydropower potential of any river can be assessed by realistic, up to date and useful information from recent advances in remote sensing, geographic information system and hydrological modelling [1]. This research aims for the assessment of the RoR hydropow- er potential using spatial technology and SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) modeling in Seti Gandaki River, Kaski, Nepal. The DEM, daily precipitation, minimum and maximum temperature data, discharge records, land use and soil data were used for the SWAT model setup 2 and simulation. The model was calibrated (2000-2010) and validated (2011-2015) with model performance of 0.85 R , 0.85 ENS and 2.19 % PBAIS.

  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • Tourism in Nepal: the Models for Assessing Performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay in Nawalpur
    NJDRS 51 CDRD DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/njdrs.v17i0.34952 Tourism in Nepal: The Models for Assessing Performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay in Nawalpur Rajan Binayek Pasa, PhD Lecturer at Central Department of Rural Development Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu Email for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract This study assesses performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay that received best homestay award in 2017. For the survey study, the datacollected from 236 sample respondents were theorized based on social capital, ecotourism, asset-based community development and sustainability approach that are then supported by the empirical findings. An index was developed to describe the overall performance of the homestay by compositing five thematic indexes: relevancy, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, sustainability. The index value 92.65 from the range of minimum 48 and maximum 240 for the overall performance provides the strong quantitative evidence to answer the question “why did Amaltari receive the best award among”. The multiple regression model (R-square value 0.99) for overall performance also proves that independent variables describe the dependent variables by 99 percent. Among the independent variables relevancy and effectiveness indexes are more likely to describe dependent variable- the overall performance index. The evidence shows that Amaltari homestay has performed well due to the technical/financial supports of WWF, proper mobilization/utilization of conservation fund and homestay community fund, strong social capital, and quality leadership that has transforming the livelihoods of Tharu, Bote and Mushar indigeneous people. However, they have some concerns like waste management in bufferzone areas, reviving the cultural organizations for preserving and transmitting culture from generation to generation, minimizing the modernization and demonstrative effects due to the excessive flow of the tourists and upgrading road connectivity.

  • Sri Ramakrishna & His Disciples in Orissa
    Preface Pilgrimage places like Varanasi, Prayag, Haridwar and Vrindavan have always got prominent place in any pilgrimage of the devotees and its importance is well known. Many mythological stories are associated to these places. Though Orissa had many temples, historical places and natural scenic beauty spot, but it did not get so much prominence. This may be due to the lack of connectivity. Buddhism and Jainism flourished there followed by Shaivaism and Vainavism. After reading the lives of Sri Chaitanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and direct disciples we come to know the importance and spiritual significance of these places. Holy Mother and many disciples of Sri Ramakrishna had great time in Orissa. Many are blessed here by the vision of Lord Jagannath or the Master. The lives of these great souls had shown us a way to visit these places with spiritual consciousness and devotion. Unless we read the life of Sri Chaitanya we will not understand the life of Sri Ramakrishna properly. Similarly unless we study the chapter in the lives of these great souls in Orissa we will not be able to understand and appreciate the significance of these places. If we go on pilgrimage to Orissa with same spirit and devotion as shown by these great souls, we are sure to be benefited spiritually. This collection will put the light on the Orissa chapter in the lives of these great souls and will inspire the devotees to read more about their lives in details. This will also help the devotees to go to pilgrimage in Orissa and strengthen their devotion.
