Mount Kailash, Tibet | Experience the sacred mountain in your heart.

Located in Bagaxiang, Pulan County, Ngari Prefecture, western Tibet, Mount Kailash is the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains and the highest peak in the western section of the Gangdise Mountains (which span the northern Kunlun Mountains and the southern Himalayas). It is one of the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism (Meili Snow Mountain, Animaqing Mountain, and Kawagebo) and is recognized by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, the indigenous Tibetan religion of Bon, and Jainism as the "center of the world". 1 Mount Kailash Base Camp: Here you can take photos of the sunrise and sunset, and it is very close to the Tarqin residential area. You can navigate directly, which is very convenient. There is also a post office where you can send postcards. On the other side of the road is Namunani, which is actually more beautiful at sunrise. 2 On the way to Lake Manasarovar: When the weather is good, you can see Mount Kailash all the way, and you can take photos of the snow-capped mountains and grasslands together. Especially near the viewing platform of the sacred lake of Lake Manasarovar, you can not only see Mount Kailash, but also see Namunani up close. 3 Near the Zhongshun Gas Station: About 200 meters outside the gas station, there is a parking area. The sunrise here is more obvious than at the base camp. 4 Prayer Flag Square: It is 7 km from the entrance of the scenic area to the Prayer Flag Square. If you have enough time and energy, it is recommended to walk to the Prayer Flag Square. If you do not meet the conditions, you can also take a shuttle bus. There are many prayer flags here, and you will see many Tibetans who come here purely for pilgrimage. For them, this is not a scenic spot, but the real sacred mountain in their hearts. Preparation before departure: Before the trip, be sure to check the weather forecast and prepare clothes for climbing. Clothing and equipment: Hiking shoes, trekking poles, storm jackets, waterproof pants, quick-drying clothes, sun hats, gloves, raincoats, sunglasses
