Overview

Sitting at the centre of Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and Tibetan Bon religious belief, Mt. Kailash holds great significance for multiple religions. Mt. Kailash is the source of four major rivers of Asia, namely Indus, Brahmaputra, Sutlej and the Karnali and is also home to beautiful glacier lakes.

Even though Mt. Kailash attracts religious pilgrims with various religious faiths, it is also a heaven for trekkers and tourists alike. Kailash Parikrama is a towering piece of beauty above the Tibetan plateau while Lake Mansarovar is one of the highest lakes in the world.

The trek starts from the Nepalese hillside of Simikot which is situated in Humla to finally reach Mt. Kailash after days of adventurous travelling which takes you through one of the world’s best and least traveled trek routes.
