In this video, let’s have a glimpse of how a monk’s daily life is like in Tibet, which is shown as we followed a head monk, who lives in the Jhoden monastery, about three hours driving east of Lhasa.

The most common trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp follows the busy route up the valleys of the Dudh Koshi and Imja Khola rivers. The «three passes» route we took diverts up the Bhote Koshi valley, then heads across the grain of the ridges over three passes to take in the views. These views include four 8000m peaks: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. Between the first two passes are the five Gokyo lakes, and between the second two is Everest Base Camp. At the end was Kathmandu, including Durbar Square. It was booked through KE Adventure Travel.
The West Coast Trail is a 75 km point-to-point hiking trail along a remote stretch of the southwestern coast of Vancouver Island. Originally created in 1907 to help rescue shipwrecked survivors along the coast, it’s become one of BCs most popular long-distance trails, attracting nearly 7,000 visitors each year from all over the world.
The trail offers a unique and challenging experience, complete with deep sand, thick mud, torrential rain, creek crossings in cable cars, slippery roots, rocks and boardwalks, not to mention the countless ladders. The coast guard rescues someone from the trail on average every second day. But it’s also a place of incredible beauty, offering glimpses of wildlife like wolves, eagles, humpback whales, and sea lions, as you make your way through dense forests, past lakes, caves and waterfalls, and along rugged beaches and awe-inspiring coastal features at every turn.
Growing up in Vancouver, Id always wanted to hike the trail, so I jumped at the chance to join my friend Karl in the summer of 2017 when he managed to secure permits.
I’m an ultra-distance trail runner based in Vancouver, BC. From the mountain ranges of Canada and the USA, to the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas, I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue adventures around the world.
Why the Sound Of Whispers Come From Mount Kailash At Night
In Hinduism Lord Shiva is believed to be seated on Mount Kailash’s house. The mountain is full of supernatural powers. That’s why until now nobody has climbed this mountain. Apart from that, this mountain is synonymous with many other mysteries, to which no one has an answer.
Anyone who tried to climb Mount Kailash had died, and the Chinese government banned mountaineering because of these death-related accidents.
The Russian doctor had planned to scale its peak to reveal the mystery of Mount Kailash. There were also several geologists interested in that. The team spent months near Mount Kailash. He also revealed other things that have been a mystery to date and nobody knew about them. Mount Kailash is, according to that squad, a man-made pyramid. He also said there are a lot of supernatural events too.
In his novel, Dr Muldashif has written that mysterious sounds come from Mount Kailash’s silent manger at night. Some people still seem to live there today.
Besides that, the Tibetan Gurus often think there are many supernatural forces. It’s also said there is a mysterious state around Mount Kailash called Shambala. Where Siddha and ascetic people still live today.
The pyramid-shaped Mount Meru is, contrary to common theories, the product of the possessed technological abilities of some supernatural superhuman beings.
According to the Buddhist and Hindu scriptures, ancient monasteries and caves exist around Mount Meru in which the holy sages live in their material and subtle bodies. Just a few lucky ones will see those caves.
Thousands of pilgrims reach Tibet each year for pilgrimage to the Holy Mount Kailash. Some make it to the region and quite a few manage to finish by circumambulating the healed edge. As for scaling the summit, some adventurous mountaineers have attempted, but with no success, to do so.
Trekking all the way up to the summit of Mount Kailash is considered a prohibited act by Hindus for fear of transgressing the holiness of the mountain and upsetting the spiritual forces that reside there. A monk called Milarepa once traveled far enough to reach the peak of Mount Meru according to a Tibetan legend. When he came back he warned everyone not to bother the God sleeping high up in the top.
There are two magnificent lakes at the foot of Mount Kailash, namely Mansarovar and Rakshas Tal.
Mount Kailash is thought to be the Axis Mundi or celestial pole, earth center, earth pillar, world core, world flower. It is the moment heaven meets earth. Google Maps vouch for the fact’s validity.
Don’t be surprised if, after returning from your Mount Meru tour, you find your nails or hair grown by many millimetres. Tourists and pilgrims have discovered that the air from this ancient peak speeds up the ageing cycle!
Once a party of Siberian climbers arrived ahead of a certain stage and aged by a few decades at once. Shockingly, one year later all of the trespassers died of old age!

Gentle, green meadows, rugged rock faces, mysterious lakes, dense forests, tall mountains, low-lying river deltas, quietly meandering mountain streams and smack dab in the middle, a unique fauna — THIS is Switzerland! We trace the elementary power of nature and present animals and plants in landscapes that have hardly ever been touched by mankind. Switzerland is an alpine country, but it is also Europes surge tank. Rivers such as the Rhine and the Rhone have their sources here. Glaciers, crevasses, icy cold caves and the underwater dome of the Verzasca are the unusual settings we chose for this film. We meet with rare, selected animal species and present their behavioural patterns, such as the Swiss or Arven jay, the lynx and albino catfish. Cold, wind, snow and extreme locations demand adaptation that make us marvel.

Dear devotees: Todays class [ December 8, 2020 ] is entitled, «Shabari Recieves Lord Ramas Mercy.» Well begin with a detailed description of the famous «Pearl» pastimes in Vrindavan and conclude with the touching story of Shabari, an outcaste woman who served her guru with great devotion and later received darshan of Lord Ramacandra on the forest. 3:30 p.m. India time on my YouTube channel.
For our first parikrama we went to Kamyavan and had darshan of Vrinda-Devi, the beautiful reddish coloured Deity worshipped by Srila Rupa Goswami 500 years ago. In the courtyard of her temple we discussed many of Radha and Krsna’s pastimes, as well as Maharaja Yudhisthira’s answers to Yamaraja’s 10 questions that took place at nearby Dharma-kunda. The kirtans led by Bada Haridas prabhu were especially sweet in that most auspicious atmosphere.
