Mt. Kailash (22028
Feet), considered to be a physical embodiment of the
mythical Mt. Meru, is believed to be the most sacred
mountain in the world. Its snow dusted rock pyramid
is located in the scenically rich area of western Tibet,
which lies between the Himalayas and Karakurum ranges.
From its peak, one can enjoy the views of Afghanistan,
Pakistan, India, and Nepal. It is considered most auspicious
to make a religious pilgrimage around its fifty-three
kilometres circuit (32 miles parikrama).
In fact, the entire region
of Mt. Kailash is of important religious significance
and includes the two turquoise-blue, pristine high-altitude
lakes of Mansarovar and Rakshesa. Mt. Kailash is regarded
holy by followers of several religions. To Hindus, Kailash
is the abode of Shiva and nearby Manasarobar Lake, the
soul of Brahma. Tibetans call Kailash Kang Rimpoche.
Jains worship it as Mt Ashtapada, the peak from which
the religion's founder, Rishabanatha, achieved spiritual
liberation. And the followers of Bon-Po, the ancient
pre-Buddhist shamanistic religion of Tibet, revere Kailash
as the soul of Tibet.
Another uniqueness contributing
to the mystical aspects of Kailash is that four most
sacred rivers of the Indian sub-continent begin from
here - Sutlej, Karnili (a major tributary of the Ganges),
Brahmaputra and Indus. The end of these rivers are more
than 2,000 kilometres apart, yet they all have their
source within hundred kilometres of Mt. Kailash. Nature
lovers can encounter numerous unusual species of birds,
wildlife, and flora here. This holy region is known
as navel (center) of the universe, attracting scholars
and researchers from all over the world. Mt. Kailash
(also known as the 'Sumeru Parbat' in Hindu epics) provides
a spiritually enriching, naturally unique and a truly
rewarding journey of a life-time
