Mount Kailash is 6714m high and with
its four sheer walls and snow capped peak is an
awe-inspiring sight. Like a huge diamond, it is centered
among peaks like an eight-petalled lotus. Geographically
it is important too - from it flow four great rivers:
the Karnali, the Indus, the Sutlej and the Brahmaputra,
which drain the vast Tibetan Plateau. However it is most
famous for its religious significance. Kailash is an
object of devout pilgrimage for Buddhists and Hindus,
who believe it is the abode of the gods. |
