Mount Kailash is a peak in the Kailash Range, which is part of the Trans-Himalaya in Tibet, China. It is situated in the Ngari Prefecture of the Tibet Autonomous Region, close to the borders with India and Nepal.
One of the holiest mountains in the world, Mount Kailash is revered by many faiths, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. According to Hindu mythology, it is the home of Lord Shiva, while Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, is said to reside there according to Buddhist belief. The Jain religion’s founder, Rishabhdev, is connected to the mountain.
The mountain has a striking appearance, with its top rising to a height of 6,638 meters (21,778 feet) above sea level. It is a stunning pyramid-shaped peak in the Kailash Range, bordered by a number of smaller summits. The Manasarovar Lake, which is one of Tibet’s holiest lakes, is one of the many natural wonders that surround the mountain.
The Kailash Kora, a path used to circumambulate Mount Kailash, is one of the mountain’s unique characteristics. This pilgrimage, which is regarded as one of the hardest in the world, attracts thousands of travelers each year. The trek takes three to four days to complete and covers a distance of about 52 kilometers (32 miles).Several monasteries and sacred locations, such as the Chuku Monastery and the Zutul-Puk Monastery, are visited by pilgrims along the path.
The pilgrimage route to Mount Kailash is considered one of the toughest treks in Tibet. It is better to work through our company, which can assist you with the necessary paperwork and procedures if you need to receive a special permit from the Chinese government to visit Mount Kailash. In the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, a town by the name of Darchen is where the climb to Mount Kailash often begins. A long trip from Kathmandu to the Chinese border is typically followed by a drive to Darchen and a mountain-climbing trek.
The walk around Mount Kailash is regarded as difficult and is not suggested for beginner trekkers. A certain level of physical fitness and acclimatization are required for the journey because it involves walking for lengthy periods of time and crossing high-altitude passes.
