The World's Most Sacred
Pilgrimage Route
Mount Kailash stands as the most revered unclimbed peak on earth — not because no one has tried, but because no religion permits it. Hindus call it Meru Parvat, the cosmic axis where Lord Shiva sits in eternal meditation with Goddess Parvati. Tibetan Buddhists know it as Kang Rinpoche, the Precious Snow Jewel. Jains revere it as Ashtapada, where Rishabhdev attained Moksha. The Bon tradition considers it their most sacred site.
The overland route via Kathmandu and Kyirong is the most complete way to undertake this sacred yatra. You journey through Nepal, cross into Tibet at the Kyirong border, and travel across the vast Tibetan plateau before arriving at Darchen — the starting point of the 52-kilometre Kailash Parikrama (circumambulation). A single complete Kora is believed to wash away the sins of a lifetime. In a Horse Year, the merit is said to multiply manifold.
