Mt Kailash (6638m) is a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus all over the world. Located in the beautiful Himalayan region, Mt. Kailash has many holy lakes, including Lake Mansarovar and Lake Rakshastal. This incredible mountain is widely believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati.

Thousands of pilgrims travel to this holy mountain every year to worship and perform rituals. According to mythological texts, Mt. Kailash is where Lord Shiva spends his time smoking sacred marijuana and meditating.

Moreover, Mt Kailash also holds significant importance in Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhist mythologies also state that Lord Buddha went to Mt. Kailash and spread Buddhism through these routes in Tibet.
