Excerpts from the Lecture
Dr. A Pranesh gave a presentation on The Road to Kailash and Manas sarovar- A
Travelogue, during the May program of Vanamala Center for Art and Culture. The
presentation was all about a two week trip, to the abode of Shiva- Kailash from
Katmandu, Nepal. The lecture included pictures of Mount Everest, Gowrishankara
Peak, the Himalayan Ranges, Manasa Sarovar, Mount Kailash and Mukthinath.
With a brief history of Manasa Sarovar and Mount Kailash with their philosophical importance, Pranesh spoke in detail, on how to go about planning for trip, logistics, costs as well as the acclimatization and physical endurance needed. He also gave the trekking guidelines for Parikrama or circumbulation around Mount Kailash. The sceneries photographed by Pranesh were captivating and the lecture was very informative and indeed a virtual journey of Kailash and Manasa Sarovar.
