Tibet is all about the holy peaks and mountains and all of the recognizable peaks, Mount Kailash which is at the altitude of 6638m is valued as the most holy destination for pilgrimage to Tibetans. It is the most visited sacred place in Tibet.
Hindu people believe Lord Shiva used to be seated on Mount Kailash practicing yoga, making love to Parbati and smoking marijuana. One of the beliefs on Hindu people is why most pilgrimage tour is conducted to Mount Kailash.
Mount Kailash tour covers circuit around the holy mountain as no visitors are allowed to climb the mountain. Buddhists cover the path clock-wise around the mountain and anti-clockwise by the Bon Adherents, which is known as Kora or Parikrama circuit taking about 3 days to complete.
