Mount Kailash, the most revered and sacred place for Hindus around the world, is said to be the holy abode of Lord Shiva. Mount Kailash, with all its majestic glory, is situated at a high altitude of approximately 21778 ft above sea level and is a place full of mystery that is unknown to the world.
It falls in Tibet and witnesses thousands of pilgrims yearly during the Mount Kailash Yatra Season, from May to September.
Even though Mount Kailash’s height is 21778 ft, the highest point one can reach is the Dolma La Pass which is approximately 18000 ft above sea level and is covered by the pilgrims on the second day of Kailash Trek or the Kailash Parikrama.
The journey to Mount Kailash is often called the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Now what is Mansarovar, and where exactly is it? Mansarovar is a sweet water lake which falls on the way to Kailash mountain. The best part is that you can see Kailash Mountain from here, and its reflection in the Mansarovar Lake is a view that will last in your memories for ages.
On the other hand, close to Mansarovar Lake, you will find Raakshastal, which is a saltwater lake. You can take a bath in Mansarovar Lake and cleanse your sins.
