It is the source of four major holy rivers in Asia: the Indus, Sutlej, Brahmaputra and Karnali. People who aren’t able to perform a holy bath at Lake Manasarovar go into above rivers with the same belief and faith.

Altitude
Sickness
While going to high altitudes Parts of your trips are above 2500 meters/9200 feet where it is common for travelers to experience some
adverse health effects due to the altitude - regardless of your age, gender and
fitness. Take it easy, and follow our suggestions to reduce the sickness
effects. The altitude problem is very common for everyone who arrives at
the high altitude region from a lower altitude area, but some are affected
seriously and some are not, so there is a certain way to prevent it or minimize
its effect by preparing before you go to the highlands. Here we have listed some
tips that we had experienced in the past years.
Mental preparation and altitude sickness is also can help psychologically, so
you should take it very normally and keep your mind in a comfortable state. Keep your body physically fit, so
exercise regularly and make yourself physically fit. Sleep well and rest well on the day
before you arrive at a high altitude. Take everything slowly for the first
couple of days when you arrived in high altitude region, walk slowly and try to
sleep lower altitude first. Drink enough water and avoid alcohol.
