Overview

Mt. Kailash, situated in the far west of Tibet is a holy mountain and is an important pilgrimage destination for thousands of travellers every year. The mountain is sacred to the believers of four separate religions - Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Bon. Located at just 15 miles away from Mt. Kailash is the serene Lake Mansarovar, which is another important site for pilgrims who wish to cleanse their past sins by taking a dip in its pristine natural waters. Mount Kailash is highly revered for the being the abode of Lord Shiva. Every year, thousands of devotees embark on the treacherous journey to this peak for seeking the blessings of the Lord and take a dip in the holy Mansarovar Lake.
