Mount Kailash The oldest known pilgrimage site is Mount Kailash in Tibet, which has been a holy travel destination for an incomprehensible 15,000 years. Walking the 32-mile trail around Kailash takes about three days, at altitudes as high as 18,000 feet. Buddhists say the ritual circumambulation erases the sins of one lifetime, and 108 times around the mountain will enable you to reach Nirvana.    

Its grandeur lies not in its height but in its distinct shape four sheer faces matching the cardinal points of the compass and its solitary placement, free from neighboring mountains that might dwarf or obscure it. Kailash is regarded as the earthly manifestation of mythic Mount Meru, or Sumeru, the spiritual center of the universe in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain cosmology. This great mountain was believed to be the source of four life-giving rivers, and indeed, the Indus, Brahmaputra, Sutlej and Karnali, which is a major tributary of India’s sacred Ganges, begin in the area surrounding Kailash.

To Tibetan Buddhists, Kailash is the abode of the tantric meditational deity Demchog. Hindus see Kailash as the throne of the great god Shiva, one of the most significant deities. Jains revere Kailash as the site at which their first prophet received enlightenment and long before Buddhism took root in Tibet in the 7th century A.D.
All pilgrims respect the sacredness of the mountain by not climbing it. Along the route are monasteries and points of spiritual significance and ritual: natural stone carvings revered as footprints of the Buddha, rock formations representing mythological forms, places where pilgrims gather mementos and others where pilgrims leave behind offerings such as a lock of hair or a tooth. Kailash, which lies in the remote southwestern region of Tibet near the borders of India and Nepal, is far from any population centers and is not easily accessible.
You can  join  to witness a way of life that has remained unchanged for countless generations, and to enjoy a culture and landscape largely untouched by the Western world ; traverse a breathtakingly beautiful part of Tibet, across remote plains and multi-hued mountains, along turquoise lakes and past small nomad tents etched against a cobalt sky , an unforgettable and rewarding experience.

UDUPI

One of the seven sacred places situated in South India is universally revered as the holy adobe of lord Sri Krishna installed by the dvaita philosopher Madhwacharya 800 years ago.

Very near in the northern side of SRI KRISHNA MUTT, there is a small shrine of Sri Vasuki Anantha Padmanabha with a coveted history of 400 years fulfilling the wishes of all bhakthas with blessings for wealth, health and progeny. This place belonging to Sri Krishna Mutt was originally called Lakhmi Koppala. It was a garden with tulasi sapling and various types of flowers, for the daily Pooja to Sri Krishna. The elephants of the Astha Mutts are housed at this spot.
The story of the settlement of Samaga family in this land: 

In those days, Sri Parameshwara Samaga also known as Ayyanna Bhatta, was a popular person in Samaga family. Having lost the ancestral property due to family bickering, he had taken shelter in Sri Krishna Mutt dedicating himself to the services of the Lord.  Ayyanna Bhatta used to visit Lakshmi Koppala everyday reciting Sama Gana, gathering tulsi leaves and flowers for the pooja of Sri Krishna.Seeing his dedication, the Paryaya Peethadhipathi of Sri Sode Mutt, was very much pleased. Strangely one day, Sri Vasuki (serpent god) appeared below the Pani-Peetha of Sri Krishna idol in the temple santum sanctorum (Garbhagudi). The paryaya Swamiji was informed and his holiness got concerned to perform the pooja. The serpent did not move from the place. The Swamiji deeply thought over the matter and realised that it was is pleased with the services rendered by Ayyanna Bhatta Samaga, a Nagopasaka worshipper of Naga and given his divine darshan to Ayyanna Bhatta. Swamiji called Ayyanna Bhatta and informed him that Sri Vasuki, Aradhya Devata (chief god) of Samaga family has appeared in the garbhagudi to show his appreciations of the seva rendered by him to Lord Krishna. And said that he is the only person who can pray to the serpent to depart to some other place where all necessary arrangements will be made for his aradhana for all times to come.
