Mount Kailash at sunrise with prayer flags

A Refuge for the Faithful

Situated on the shore road of Lake Manasarovar, our family-run homestay provides a warm sanctuary for pilgrims undertaking the sacred Mount Kailash kora. We welcome travelers from across the plateau — and from every corner of the world — into our home, with beds for more than fifteen guests and a kitchen that never closes.

Sacred Context

The Merit of the Lake and Mountain

The sacred waters of Lake Manasarovar at golden hour

Circumambulating Mount Kailash is believed to wash away the sins of a lifetime, while the clear waters of Lake Manasarovar — the lake of consciousness — bring purity and blessing to all who drink of them or bathe in their light. Pilgrims walk the 52 km kora around the peak at 4,590 m above the sea, one of the most sacred journeys on earth for Buddhists, Hindus, Bön and Jain alike. After the mountain and the lake, the body needs what the spirit has received: warmth, food and deep rest. That is what we offer.

A Living Monastery on Your Doorstep

Just ten minutes from the homestay stands a working Tibetan monastery — its great vermillion gate crowned in gold, its walls wrapped in white and sacred red. Pilgrims circle its halls with spinning prayer wheels before and after the kora, and guests of 1376 are welcome to visit in the morning light, hear the low hum of chanting, and make a butter-lamp offering. It is a rare blessing to begin and end each day of your journey beside a place of living prayer.
