#MountKailash, located in the remote western region of #Tibet, is one of the world's most revered and mysterious mountains.

Standing at an elevation of 6,638 meters (21,778 feet), this striking peak is uniquely shaped with four steep faces that resemble a pyramid, making it visually distinct from other mountains in the #Himalayas. What makes Mount #Kailash so special, however, isn’t just its dramatic appearance but its profound spiritual and cultural significance across multiple religions.

#Sacred Significance
Mount Kailash is considered a sacred site in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and the ancient Bon religion. In Hinduism, it is revered as the abode of Lord Shiva, where he resides with his consort, Parvati, in a state of perpetual meditation. Devotees believe that Mount Kailash is the center of the universe and a direct connection between heaven and earth.

In Buddhism, Mount Kailash is seen as the home of Demchok (or Chakrasamvara), a deity representing #supreme #bliss.

Pilgrims believe that completing a kora, or a circumambulation, of the mountain brings good karma and purifies the soul. Tibetan Buddhists undertake this kora in a clockwise direction, while Bon followers circle it counterclockwise.

For #Jains, Mount Kailash is known as Ashtapada, the place where their first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, achieved spiritual #liberation. In the #Bon religion, Mount Kailash is regarded as the seat of the #Sky #Goddess #Sipaimen and a place of immense power.

Pilgrimage and Kora
Every year, pilgrims from around the world travel to Mount Kailash for the challenging kora, a 52-kilometer (32-mile) circumambulation around the mountain. This journey, often done at an altitude of over 4,500 meters (14,764 feet), is believed to be a transformative spiritual experience. Completing just one kora is thought to cleanse negative karma, while completing 108 koras is believed to lead to enlightenment.

Geographical and Environmental Importance
Mount Kailash is the source of some of #Asia's most important #rivers, including the #Indus, #Sutlej, #Brahmaputra, and #Karnali (a major tributary of the #Ganges). These rivers are vital water sources for millions of people across South Asia. The region around Kailash is also rich in unique flora and fauna adapted to the harsh Tibetan Plateau environment.

Forbidden Peak
Climbing Mount Kailash is strictly forbidden out of respect for its spiritual sanctity. Over the years, climbers and explorers have requested permission to ascend, but the mountain remains off-limits. This restriction has preserved its natural state and mystique, as no human has set foot on its summit.

A Place of Mystery
Mount Kailash is shrouded in mystery and local legends, including tales of rapid aging for those who attempt to climb it, and reports of an unusual energy field around it. The mountain has a pyramidal shape, which some believe may be an ancient man-made structure or a center of #cosmic #energy.

Conclusion
Mount Kailash stands as a powerful symbol of #peace, reverence, and spiritual aspiration. Its allure lies not only in its beauty but in its status as an untouched spiritual beacon, attracting pilgrims, #mystics, and adventurers from around the world. For those who witness its grandeur, Mount Kailash is more than a mountain—it’s a deeply sacred place that inspires humility, awe, and spiritual reflection.

After touching the glaciers and rocks on the northwest slope of #MountKailash, I immediately headed to the south slope to touch her holiest rock and to worship at the thirteen stupas nestled in the mountain's crevices. Two years ago, I made a wish in here to promote the beauty of Tibet and its religious culture, and now I have achieved that.

My followers have grown to over 250,000, and more than 1,000 tourists from around the world have learned about and traveled to Tibet through my videos and travel with me.

This trek up the south slope of #Mount-Kailash was incredibly thrilling and dangerous; in August, heavy snowfall fell from the sky, and I nearly slipped off the slippery, steep rocks into a valley more than 50 meters deep. I believe my efforts were worthwhile. As a #Tibetan guide, I have successfully led tourists from all over the world in over 60 Kora treks around Mount #Kailash, and this is my second successful climb to the thirteen stupas on the south slope.

The thirteen stupas, also known as the Inner Kora of Mount Kailash, are the holiest site for both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. If you wish to explore Mount Kailash in depth, I can take you there. It may be a bit dangerous, but I believe you can join me in this adventure for your passion and faith, right?

I‘m Risking My Life to do the thrilling trek up to #south face of #MtKailash and touch the holy rock

I reached the REAL #SOURCE of the #GANGA River - JiemaYangzong Glacier on my way to touch Mt. #Kailash.
Everyone knows that #Lake #Manasarovar is the source of the #Brahmaputra #River, but few knows that the river’s true origin lies beneath the majestic peaks of Mount Kailash at the Jiemayangzong Glacier. On my journey from #Lhasa to #MountKailash, I drove 50 kilometers off the G219 main raod, traversing deserts and uninhabited areas to visit the Jiemayangzong Glacier—the true source of the Brahmaputra, which nurtures Asia’s greatest river. It is hard to imagine that the roaring waters, which surge through the lush forests of eastern Tibet and flow through the plains of India before eventually emptying into the Indian Ocean, originate from these snow-capped peaks and layers of glacial ice. This is where the lifeblood of Asian #humanity begins.

If Lake Manasarovar’s waters are revered and worth the long journey to Tibet, then its source, the Jiemayangzong Glacier, is even more magnificent and full of vitality. It deserves to be visited on your way to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. I fondly refer to it as the real source of life for humanity in Asia.

In addition to seeking out the source of the Brahmaputra River, I also visited the border between Tibet and Mustang region of Nepal at an elevation of 4,700 meters. Here, expansive pastures abound with thriving cattle and sheep, where lovely border Tibetan people and bustling Nepalese merchants coexist. Nestled deep in the Himalayas is a vibrant agricultural market. From this beautiful, vast, and fertile border pasture, the breathtaking views of the 8,091-meter #Annapurna snow peak and the undulating mountains are simply magnificent. This is a scenery that ordinary tourists seldom see, and I hope that when you travel to Mount Kailash in #Tibet, you will visit this place, which can become another unforgettable highlight of your journey to the western Tibetan Plateau.

Finally, I arrived in the town of Tarchen at the foot of Mount Kailash, where I will start my second #journey to touch the mt. Kailash since 2020.
