Sacred Mount Kailash Kora 100% Kora Tour
Mount Kailash (22,028 ft / 6,714 m) is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in the world, located north of the Himalayan barrier in Western Tibet. Sacred to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bonpos, it draws pilgrims globally, and a stream from its slopes is said to feed Lake Mansarovar, source of four of Asia’s great rivers — the Indus, Brahmaputra, Karnali, and Sutlej. For over a thousand years, pilgrims have journeyed here to circumambulate the mountain in the sacred Kora ritual, believing the entire region to be the abode of the Gods.
