Holy Mt. Kailash: The Sacred Mountain
Mt. Kailash (6,714m) is the spiritual center for four major religions:
- Hinduism: It is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva, with Lake Manasarovar symbolizing the soul of Brahma.

- Bon-Po: The Bon religion reveres Kailash as the soul of Tibet.
The Mt. Kailash Kora, a 53 km trek around the mountain, is one of the most sacred pilgrimages, believed to erase the sins of a lifetime. Pilgrims who complete 108 circumambulations achieve salvation.
Below the mountain lies Lake Manasarovar (4,510m), where pilgrims believe that a single dip in the holy lake will cleanse the sins of multiple lifetimes, leading to salvation in Brahma’s paradise.
