TIBET: KAILASH SHANSHUNG A Pilgrimage or journey to Kailash, the most sacred mountain for many Asians, is even today one of the great tours in Asia. The tour to Mt. Kailash (6714m) is one of the great journeys in Asia. Many Asians: Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bn-pos, revere this mountain and the Kora, its meritorious circumbulation, is their most cherished aim in life. Through the wild West-Tibet, along the main crest of the Himalaya you drive to Lake . The fantastic landscape, Lake Manosaravar, the monasteries, the mountains Sishma Pangma and Gurla Mandhata are the highlights of this tour.
