Mount Kailash, located in the remote western region of the Tibetan Plateau in China, is a majestic peak revered by several religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Standing at an elevation of about 6,638 meters (21,778 feet), it is part of the Transhimalaya range.
In Hinduism, Mount Kailash is considered the abode of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati, and it is believed to be the center of the world. For Buddhists, the mountain is associated with Demchok (Chakrasamvara), who represents supreme bliss. In Jainism, it is recognized as the site where the first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, attained enlightenment. The Bon religion regards it as the sacred nine-story Swastika Mountain, the seat of all spiritual power.
Unlike many other sacred mountains, climbing Mount Kailash is prohibited out of respect for its spiritual significance. Instead, pilgrims perform a ritual circumambulation (kora) around the mountain, a journey of about 52 kilometers (32 miles) that is considered a path to enlightenment and purification. The trek, typically taking three days, traverses challenging terrain at high altitudes, including the Dolma La Pass, which rises to 5,636 meters (18,525 feet).
The region surrounding Mount Kailash is also home to two important lakes, Lake Manasarovar and Lake Rakshastal, which hold religious significance. Lake Manasarovar is considered a symbol of purity and is believed to cleanse sins when bathed in or consumed. In contrast, Lake Rakshastal is often associated with negative energies and demons.
The combination of natural beauty and profound spiritual importance makes Mount Kailash a unique and revered site for pilgrims and travelers worldwide.
