cycle of Tibetain Buddhism. The jains of India also revere the mountain as the site at which the first of their saints emancipated. And in the ancient Bon religion of Tibet, Kailash was the sacred nine storeys Swastika Mountain, upon which the Bonpo founder Shenrab alighted from haven.

Sprawling below Mount Kailash is the sacred Lake Manasarovar (4560m). Where a ritual bath will deliver a pilgrim to Brahma's paradise and a drink of its water relinquishes the sins of a hundred lifetimes.

The 53 Km Kailash circuit is the holiest of all Tibet's pilgrimages and the beacon, which draws most travellers to western Tibet. It is said that a single paricarma erases the accumulated sins of a lifetime, while 108 circumbulation will achieve Salvation Or Nirvana.
