### *9. “Climbing to the summit of Mount Kailash is impossible”!*
Standing 6,638 meters above sea level, Mount Kailash holds a unique mystery. Surprisingly, it is not even the highest peak on the Tibetan plateau, yet no mountaineer has ever been able to climb it.
According to ancient legends, the only person believed to have reached its summit was the Buddhist monk Milarepa. Recently, a scientific expedition aimed to scale the peak, but they abandoned their mission on the advice of a Tibetan lama. Unfortunately, even so, four members of the team passed away within a year or two.
Climbing Mount Kailash is considered forbidden, as it is believed that doing so angers the deities. Its Sanskrit name, meaning “Shiva’s Heaven,” highlights its sacredness across four religions. Despite attracting adventurers for centuries, this mystical mountain has never bowed to human conquest and has preserved its divine aura.

### *10. Mount Kailash purifies the soul and leads to spiritual liberation!*
“Kora”, the Tibetan word for “circumambulation,” goes far beyond a pilgrimage; it is a spiritual journey embodying meditation and self-realization. At Mount Kailash, the clockwise kora—a 53 km journey completed over three days—purifies the soul, dissolves sins, and guides seekers toward moksha or nirvana.
This sacred practice involves walking the clockwise circuit around Kailash, a profound symbol of devotion. Pilgrims chant mantras, spin prayer wheels, and sometimes perform full-body prostrations before holy sites, embracing a life deeply connected to the divine.
The Kailash Kora encourages freedom from worldly distractions, spiritual growth, and a stronger connection with God. It is a path toward completeness and a deeper understanding of divine power, bringing pilgrims closer to enlightenment. The three-day circumambulation feels like a glimpse into the soul itself. Some pilgrims return after touching Kailash from Derapuk, a place also known as Charan Paduka. One entire circumambulation is done by touching Kailash directly, known as the “Inner Kora.” Devotees complete this sacred walk while touching the divine mountain.
Kailash is the path to liberation. Whoever receives its darshan has been blessed by the Lord himself—freed from the sins of many lifetimes.
