Kailash with Mohanji 2026
Save The Dates – 18th August to 2nd September 2026
Dev Kumbh • Mount Kailash & Lake Manasarovar Pilgrimage
Shiva is not a person; Shiva is a state. Kailash is the physical expression of that state.
A Once-in-12-Years Dev Kumbh Pilgrimage with Mohanji
Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar have been revered for millennia as powerful centres of spiritual transformation. Pilgrims speak of deep inner silence, release of long-held patterns and a sense of coming home to themselves.
According to Hindu pilgrimage tradition, Dev Kumbh is a sacred alignment that occurs once in 12 years. During Dev Kumbh, one sincere circumambulation (Kora) around Kailash is traditionally believed to carry the merit of twelve Koras performed in other years.
In 2026, Dev Kumbh returns.
In this special year, Mohanji will travel to Lake Manasarovar, giving pilgrims a rare opportunity to experience this amplified spiritual window in His presence.
Journey with Mohanji
Mohanji’s presence supports the pilgrim in remaining centred and receptive through the intensity of the yatra.
He will meet the group at two key points:
Kathmandu
- Blessing the group
- Orientation and inner preparation before entering the high-altitude region
Lake Manasarovar
- A sacred meeting with Mohanji on the shores of Manasarovar
- Darshan of Mount Kailash in His presence during this Dev Kumbh year
For many, these become the defining moments of their pilgrimage.
What Awaits You
Darshan at Lake Manasarovar
Time for silence and reflection at one of the holiest lakes in the world, with the majestic Kailash in view.
Opportunity for the Outer Kora (Parikrama)
For those who feel ready, the 3-day circumambulation of Mount Kailash is an intense and transformative undertaking.
Undertaking the Kora during Dev Kumbh is especially significant, as one Kora in this period is traditionally believed to be equal to twelve Koras in other years.
A Conscious, Aligned Yatra
In alignment with Mohanji’s teachings, the journey emphasises:
- inner stillness and awareness
- simplicity and purity
- non-violence and respect for all beings
- humility and deep reverence for the sacred land
