Mt. Kailash
Mythical Mt. Kailash – also known as Tise, Kailash or Khang Rinpoche (Jewel of the Snows), has since time immemorial been celebrated in many Eastern cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis of mundi. And as the center of the physical and metaphysical universe, Mt. Meru, is sacred to the Jains, the Hindus, the Bhuddhists and Bonpos. For the Hindus, the mountain represents the seat of Shiva; for the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection of the cosmic mandala of Dyani-Buddhas and Boddhisattavas.. The Wheel of Life.
Legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner was once awarded a permit to climb Kailash, considered sacred to five religions. When a Spanish team planned to climb it in 2001, Messner suggested that they go find a more difficult summit. It remains unclimbed.
While the mountain itself is forbidden, traversing 32 miles around it is an important ritual. All this religious significance means that while Kailash is not a place for mountaineers, it does draw crowds of pilgrims seeking its powerful good grace. It’s also a first-class Himalaya trek encompassing meditation sites at waterfalls, the sacred cave of Zuthal Puk, and 18,600-foot Dolma La Pass.
