Nepal, 27th Oct, 2017 - Mt Kailash, placed in the far west corner of Tibet is no doubt the most sacred peak in Asia. High at an elevation of 6700m, on the isolated western Tibetan plateau in the northern most provinces of the Himalayas, rests Mt Kailash. The exquisiteness of Mt Kailash is it seems like a symmetric cone shaped rock covered by pure crystallized ice all the time, is echoed in different mythic & literary works. Ruling the north of the Himalayan Barrier with its exceptional sight, the Mt Kaiash is equally valued as the holiest pilgrimage location by Jains, Buddhists, Hindus & the Bön-Po. Tibetans admire this holy mountain as the materialization of Mt Meru, "the navel of the earth" where founder of Bon religion, Tonpa Shenrab, is assumed to have descended from the haven; Hindus assume it to be the home of God Shiva; Buddhists as the home of Samvara & the Jains value it as a holy site where their eligious person, Rishaba, acquired spiritual enlightenment.

With its 4 massive walls, and unique snow covered summit, and valleys placed with brightly clad Tibetan piligrims, Mt Kailash is a mesmerizing sight of awe-inspiring proportions. The 4 great Asian rivers; the Indus, the Karnali, the Brahmaputra and the Sutlej originated from here. A 3 day hike around Mt Kailash more than a 5630m Drolma La, clockwise for Hindus and Buddhists, and anti-clockwise believers of the ancient Bon religion, is assumed to erase the sorrows of a lifetime.

To accomplish the Kailash pilgrimage one must take a dip in the holy lake Manasarovar, incredibly rests on the Tibetan plateau enclosed by the royal Gurla Mandata. On the voyage to Mount Kailash across the windswept Tibetan plateau, you’ll witness cliff-top monasteries, wild-looking but hardy & hospitable Tibetans, yak caravans traveling over snowy routes, and the great summits of the Himalaya inside a backdrop of grazing herds, yak skin tents & a dazzling turquoise lake.
