 It is a
great adventure in history, in landscape and in the faiths of
Asia. In the heart of the highest mountains on earth, Mt.
Kailash rises to an altitude of 6,714 m, and is one of the most
elegant and entrancing peaks in Tibet (China). For the traveler,
this is a dream destination, almost inaccessible until just a
few decades ago because of bad roads, political restrictions,
and the presence of bandits. But, now no Westerner has ever felt
lonely in the area around Mount Kailash.
Because of its religious attachment, many Hindu and Buddhist
ascetics, hermits and pilgrims have been drawn to Mt. Kailash to
see it, offer prayers, absolve sins, circumambulate it and to
practice austerities and meditation. South of Mt. Kailash,
across the base of the majestic Mt. Gurla Mandhata, is the two
lakes Mansarovar and Rakkshas Tal (lake). They are the highest
bodies of fresh water in the world, with Manasarovar (330 sq.
km), at 4,558 meters, about fifteen meters higher than Rakshas
Tal.
