Spiritual Significance

Holy Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar are among the most sacred pilgrimage destinations in the world. Revered by four major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon—this region is a beacon of spirituality and faith.

• Hindus: Consider Kailash the abode of Lord Shiva, where he resides with his consort Parvati. A pilgrimage here grants liberation from ignorance and the cycle of rebirth.

• Buddhists: Recognize it as the seat of Samvara, a key deity in the Chakrasamvara Tantra, and a site blessed by Guru Rinpoche.

• Jains: Revere it as the site where their first saint attained emancipation.

• Bon (ancient Tibetan religion): Regard it as the nine-storey Swastika Mountain, where their founder, Tonpa Shenrab, descended from heaven.

The 53 km Kailash Parikrama (Kora) is considered the holiest pilgrimage. One circumambulation is believed to erase the sins of a lifetime, while 108 circuits grant ultimate salvation.
