Kailash

Located in a far-flung place in west Tibet, close to the border of Nepal and India, Kailash is 1200 km from Lhasa, the executive capital of Tibet. It’s approximately 800 km from the border with Nepal. It takes about 5 days to get there. Mount Kailash is the most sacred mountain in Asia. As the tallest among the encircling mountains, it stands on my own deep in the Himalayas of Tibet and is the handiest reachable thru treacherous roads and hikes. Its majestic characteristics lay inside its particular shape; its facets factor out in the direction of every cardinal direction.

The mountain’s physical appearance isn’t the handiest issue that makes it special. For the fans of 4 of Asia’s first-rate religions, Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Bon, and Kailash is the center of the universe, the seat of all non-secular power, the summertime season house of Shiva, and home to the Buddha of superb bliss. It’s now no longer something to conquer. It’s an image of transcendence. To climb it might be to profane what's sacred to millions.
