Kailash (Mount Kailash)

Mount Kailash is a sacred peak located in the Himalayas, rising about 6,638 meters (21,800 feet) above sea level. It holds profound spiritual significance for multiple religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Revered as the home of Lord Shiva in Hindu belief, it symbolizes divine energy and spiritual power. Its unique, pyramid-like shape and untouched, perennially snow-capped summit contribute to its mystical status. Despite its remote location in Tibet, Kailash attracts pilgrims and trekkers, who undertake a ritual circumambulation (kora) around it, believing this act brings spiritual merit and cleansing.
