Mount Kailash lies in the Kailash Range (Gangdisê Mountains) of the Transhimalaya, in the western part of the Tibetan Plateau. It is a captivating destination that offers a unique blend of history, breath-taking landscape and spiritual significance. Standing tall at 6,714 meters, this majestic peak has long been a dream destination for adventurous travellers. In the past reaching this remote location was a challenge due to treacherous roads and political restrictions.
Over the course of 2,000 years Mt. Kailash has attracted pilgrims who seek solace, redemption and enlightenment. They come to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of the mountain, offer prayers, seek forgiveness for their sins, perform the sacred ritual of circumambulation, and engage in spiritual practices and meditation.
To the south of Mount Kailash lies Mount Gurla Mandhata, here two remarkable lakes, Mansarovar and Rakshas Tal are found. These lakes hold the distinction of being the highest bodies of fresh water in the world, with Mansarovar covering an area of 330 square kilometres and sitting at an elevation of 4,558m, surpassing Rakshas Tal by approximately 15m.
