Hellig Bjerg

Mount Kailash, rising 6,638 meters in the remote Ngari Prefecture of western Tibet, is one of the most revered and mysterious peaks on Earth. Sacred to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bön practitioners, it is believed to be the cosmic axis and the earthly home of Lord Shiva. Its pristine, pyramid-like summit has never been climbed, preserving its sanctity and spiritual aura. Pilgrims and adventurers alike journey to perform the legendary 52-kilometer 'kora' trek around the mountain, a ritual said to cleanse lifetimes of karma and bring spiritual awakening. The route offers breathtaking views of rugged Himalayan valleys, snow-capped ridges, and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Manasarovar and Lake Rakshastal, both steeped in myth and legend. The high-altitude desert landscape, dotted with ancient monasteries and prayer flags fluttering in the wind, creates an atmosphere of profound peace and reverence. Visiting Mount Kailash is not just a physical journey but a deeply transformative experience, blending spirituality, culture, and the raw beauty of Tibet’s untouched wilderness.
