Mount Kailash lies in a Range forming part of the Trans-Himalaya in Tibet. It lies near the source of some of Asia’s longest rivers including the Indus, Sutlej, Brahmaputra, and Karnali and Lakes Manasarovar, Rakshas and Tal.

Kailash is sacred to Buddhists, Hindus, Bon and Jain and every year, thousands of pilgrims follow the ancient holy ritual of circling Mount Kailash on foot to bring good fortune. Hindus and Buddhists circle clockwise whereas followers of the Jain and Bon religions circle anticlockwise. The path around Mount Kailash is 52 km (32 mi) long and some pilgrims believe that the entire walk around Kailash should be made in a single day.

These were both destroyed by Chinese artillery during the Cultural Revolution however the monastery is being restored. Lower down there is the “nine Storey” Tsegu Gompa which is noted for centuries old wall paintings and somewhat difficult access.
