    I had the opportuninty to visit Mt Kailash and Mansarovar lake and believe me, you will definitely feel like going there again and again, like am going this year too. Its heaven, and our soul finds peace there. It is one of the toughest yatra ever, but eternal himalaya made it possible for me with their wonderful team of staff, good food, ever-smiling and ready to help staff at all times and most of all--their family like caring attitude. With such wonderful service, any tough task becomes easy. The yatra is tough since there is very less oxygen at that level, but when your "family eternal himalaya" is with you, no problems.
