Helicopter Tour to
Mt Kailash & Lake Mansarovar
Mount Kailash
lies in the southwestern part of the Tibet Autonomous
Region of China.
At 6,714 m (22,027 ft), Mount Kailas is the highest peak in the Kailas
Range of the Himalayas . Mount Kailas is separated from the Great Himalayas
chain by a trough that is drained in the northwest by the Sutlej River
and in the southeast by the Yarlung Zangbo River (the extreme upper Brahmaputra
River ). Mapam Lake , lying just south of Mount Kailas at 4,557 m (14,950
ft), is one of the world's highest lakes.
Mount
Kailas , which has religious significance for both Hindus and Tibetan
Buddhists, is an important pilgrimage site. For Hindus, the peak is the
home of the god Shiva, while Tibetan Buddhists equate the mountain with
Mount Sumeru , the cosmic center of the universe
