Mount Kailash

Location: Tibet, China
Coordinates: 31.067 N 81.312 E

This prominent mountain is located near the Indian and Nepalese border. Because it is considered sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism, Mount Kailash is off-limits to mountain climbers. However, believers of the faiths undertake pilgrimage by circumambulating the mountain, as it was the tradition for thousands of years. The path is over 50 kilometers long, but most pilgrims strive to complete the journey in a single day.
