The Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar tour is a profound journey to what many Hindus and Buddhists consider the spiritual center of the universe. While the mountain itself is sacred and climbing it is strictly forbidden, pilgrims and travelers honor its significance by performing the Kora a meditative 52 km trek around its base.
The Journey Begins
