Holy Kailash Yatra on travelxp.

Friends,

Last September I have been a member of Holy Kailash Manasasorvar Yatra Pilgrimage team organised by Ministry of External Affairs.  Govt of India.  The one month long Yatra through the traditional routes crossing mountain ranges in Himalayas and Tibetan plateau, mostly by trekking was arduous but fulfilling at the same time.  The whole yatra was filmed by the Travelxp Channel and to be telecast starting from 4th February at 9:00pm and 11:30pm on saturdays.  Please watch the channel to get a clear idea of what it takes to complete one of the most lengthy and tough pilgrimages man undertakes in search of himself.
