      Mt. Kailash - Kora Trek (1)

      October 6, 2023 in China ⋅ ☀️ -1 °C

      Mount Kailash considered being central of the world and the holy snow peak for Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Bon. Thousand of pilgrimages go there every year walking around the peak but it is never climbed.

      The sources of four major Asian rivers lie close to this mountain and the two lakes. These rivers are the Indus, the Sutlej, the Brahmaputra and the Karnali.

      VERY INTERESTING FACT❗️
      Kailash Mountain is considered the axis of the universe, the center of the world, the pillar of the world. It is the place where the earth connects with heaven. As you can see from Google Maps, the distance from Stonehenge in the UK to Mt Kailash is 6,666 kilometers, which is also the distance from Kailash Range to the North Pole. The distance from Mt Kailash to the South Pole is 13,332 kilometers, which is exactly twice the distance to the North Pole or Stonehenge.
