Mt. KAILASH

From the advent of Hindu religion for the last 5000 years, it is believed that the sacred rivers originate from the center of the universe which is Mount Kailash and Mansarover. Mt. Kailash also known as Sumeru Prabat is the home of Lord Shiva and indeed the Indus, Satlaj, Ganges via Karnali and the Brahmaputra River begins at this most holy spot. Not only is Mt. Kailash important for Hindus but  Buddhists, Jains, BanPo,  Sai Baba followers and all  AMU followers also give high significance to this holyland.

Kailash Parbet  22,000 Ft. from the sea level is a rock pyramid with snow and is located in scenically rich area of Western Tibet. It lies between the Himalayan ranges, Karakurum ranges and Naga Parbet; the three great mountain ranges of Asia. From here one can see into Afghanistan, Pakistan, Hindustan (India) & Nepal. Often referred to as the mountain of Swastika, an ancient sign of good luck; it is considered most auspicious to make a religious pilgrimage around the 52 Km circuit. In fact, the entire region of Kailash is of important religious significance which includes the two turquoise-blue pristine high lakes of Mansarovar and Rakshes Tal. Mount Kailash also offers many opportunities for nature lovers as large numbers of unusual species of birds, wildlife and flora-founa can be found here.
