Mount Kailash lies in the southwestern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. At 6,714 m Mt. Kailash is the highest peak in the Kailash Range of the Himalayas. It has been a pilgrimage destination for both Hindus and Buddhists since time immemorial. Separated from the Great Himalayan chain by a trough that is drained in the northwest by the Sutlej River and in the southeast by the Yarlung Zangbo River (the extreme upper Brahmaputra River). Lying just south of Mount Kailash at 4,557 m is one of the world’s highest lakes-Lake Mansarovar. For Hindus, the peak is the home of the god Shiva, while Buddhists compare the mountain with Mount Sumeru , the cosmic center of the universe.

Lake Mansarovar

The great lake Mansarovar is situated in the south-west corner of Tibet and in the north-west of Nepal. The lake is 20 km from Mt.Kailash and is one of the most beautiful and sacred lakes in Asia . It can be circumambulated in four or five days. It is often a gem like cobalt blue color but sometimes during storm, it can turn into a churning black.

According to Hindu and Buddhist epics, the four great rivers of the Indian subcontinent, the Indus , Ganges , Sutlej and Brahmaputra actually arise from Lake Mansarovar. In reality, only the Sutlej originates from the lake. Mansarover has been circumambulated by the Indian pilgrims at least once in a lifetime as mentioned in the Puranas around 1700 years ago. Legends has that the mother of Buddha, Mayadevi had been bathed at Mansarovar by Gods before giving birth to her son.
