The lake, Mansarovar, means in Ssnakrit Manas means Mind and Saravar means lake. It is said this lake was first created in the mind of Brahma. And the Holy Mountains Kailash and Mansarovar are famous for the abode of the God Shiva according to Hindu mythology. It is not so far just 20 kilometers away from Mount Kailash, the sacred blue and emerald green Mansarovar lake that lies at a height of 15,015 ft, is known to be an epitome of purity, unleashing healing properties and the magical power to wash off all mortal sins for the ultimate salvation. If you love trekking, you can do a short trek to the North face of Kailash, where you will get a chance to meditate in the lap of the mighty peak before you journey back.
