#RegisterAugustHotelTester2025 📍Location: Mount Kailash, Tibet, China This was more than just a hike; it was a spiritual pilgrimage. We joined a group of devout believers on a clockwise circumnavigation of Mount Kailash, at an altitude of 5,636 meters. At the Zhuoma La Pass, at an altitude of nearly 5,700 meters, every step was arduous, prayer flags fluttering wildly in the strong wind, and the sound of chanting filled the air. While our bodies were strained to the limit, our spirits were infinitely lifted by pure faith and the magnificent natural beauty. This was a journey that transcended the scenery and touched our souls. Mount Kailash

#chinatravel Just spent some time at Zhari Namco in Tibet, and honestly, it’s one of those spots that just steals your breath away. This lake is seriously stunning, huge, peaceful, and surrounded by snow-capped mountains that make the perfect backdrop. The water’s a deep, clear blue that almost feels unreal. The vibe here is super chill. You can just hang out by the shore, watch the clouds float by, and soak in the calmness. It’s not super touristy, which makes it perfect for some peaceful alone time or just a quiet getaway from the busy spots. If you’re into nature, fresh air, and killer views, Zhari Namco is a must when you’re in Tibet. Bring a jacket because it can get pretty chilly, and definitely don’t forget your camera, you’re gonna want to snap every angle. Perfect spot to unwind and feel tiny next to all that natural beauty.
