Mount Kailash, a majestic peak in the Himalayas, is revered by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bonpos as a sacred center. Pilgrims undertake the challenging 52-kilometer kora, or circumambulation, around the mountain, seeking spiritual purification. The journey, beginning in Darchen, passes monasteries, prayer flags, and the sacred Lake Manasarovar, solidifying Kailash’s role as a bridge between the earthly and divine.
