Lord Shiva, the highest Hindu deity, calls Kangrinpoche, the Tibetan word for “home,” his residence and playground. Buddhists have also regarded Kailash Mansarovar, which is located in western Tibet, as being similarly sacred. Additionally, it serves as the primary Jains and Bons pilgrimage site. It is the center of the universe in the Buddhist and Hindu worldviews.
A “holy yatra” or pilgrimage trek to Kailash Mansarovar entails overcoming difficulties while navigating across high passes. The main objective of the vast majority of Hindu and Buddhist believers is to avoid it, along with other unfavorable circumstances. Traveling for weeks to months, devotees from all over the world swarm to Mount Kailash. Consequently, it is a prime occasion for western tourists to comprehend Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism.
