Mount Kailash (Gang Rinpoche)
Mount Kailash, a sacred peak in Tibet’s Ngari Prefecture, is revered as the "Center of the Universe" by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon adherents. Towering at 6,638 meters, its snow-capped pyramid shape dominates the Tibetan Plateau, surrounded by glacial lakes (including Lake Manasarovar) and ancient pilgrimage trails. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site (tentative), it merges spirituality, geological wonder, and extreme adventure, offering trekking routes, sacred rituals, and breathtaking vistas of the Himalayas and Transhimalaya.
