As per the Hindu religious scripture Srimad Bhagavatam Mahapuran, Rudra embodies the omnipotent Lord Shiva. Even after the cosmos was destroyed, the five-faced manifestation of Shiva, established who lived in Kailash, was unkillable. Kubera worshiped Lord Shiva while residing in Kashi. Shiva chose to relocate to the Kailash mountain and live near Kubera in the human form of Rudra after bestowing upon him the boons of the deity.

The word Charansparsh combines two Hindi words: Charan means foot, and Sparsh means touch. Thus, the word means to touch the feet. Charansparsh in Kailash Mansarovar Yatra means touching the feet of the lord Shiva. To do that, countless individuals have made every effort to reach the summit of this peak, and they have yet to succeed. But it has been said that the only person who is said to have been able to ascend Mount Kailash is the Tibetan sage Milarepa. The incredibly holy aura of Mount Kailash incorporates a maze of unanswered questions. Countless theories, myths, stories, and other elements are somehow related to this mountain; they have yet to be fully resolved. People and scientists have different views and must decide what to consider. The "Mount Kailash that is unclimbed till now" is one of them that stands out as the most significant mystery.

Situated at the base of Mount Kailash's north face is Charansparsh. On the first day of the Mount Kailash Parikrama, one might go for Charansparsh. It is 10 kilometers from Yamdwar to Dhirapuk on the first day of the Mount Kailash Parikrama. To reach Charansparsh, trek 4–5 km after arriving at Dhirpauk. The walk is exceedingly challenging because there is no official route to Charansparsh, and the area has severe weather. According to scientific studies, the human body vibrates, and touching the feet promotes the flow of blessings, energy, and happiness. Thus, participating in Charansparsh during the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra provides great fulfillment and revitalizes the minds and spirits of Bhole Bhakts. Many enigmatic locations with spiritual significance will come into view while traversing the Kora. The intriguing Thukje Zingbu Hermitage, the vibrant prayer flags fluttering in the wind at the Tarboche flagpole, and the hallowed caves of Milarepa are just some of the sites that will captivate the senses and strengthen the tie to the divine.

With the Kailash Charan Sparsh Tour, drive through blooming hills, farmed fields, and quaint towns to the Kerung Border. Go over the border into China to experience the distinct culture and scenery of the Tibetan Plateau. After passing through the migratory town of Saga and pausing to take in the tranquil beauty of Pikutso Lake, proceed to the holy Mansarovar Lake and Tsu Gompa Monastery. Whether an adventure enthusiast or a devout seeker, a Kailash Charan Sparsh tour promises an immersive, life-altering, once-in-a-lifetime experience that transcends boundaries and connects with the divine in a way that words can't fully capture.
