Kailash Saga Dawa Festival Tour Overview
Among the many festival tours in Tibet, the Kailash Saga Dawa Festival is one of the most popular and important religious festivals. Saga means "the fourth" whereas Dawa refers to "the month" in the Tibetan language.
Thus, the festival is celebrated on the full moon day of the fourth lunar month according to the Tibetan calendar. This is also the day when Lord Buddha was enlightened, nevertheless, it also marks an important day to followers of Buddhism.
