Summary
| Description |
English: Mount Kailash (Kailas, Kailasha) and Lake Manasarovar (Mansarovar, mTsho Mapham, མ་ཕམ་གཡུ་མཚོ།) are in southwestern Tibet, near the corner where the northern borders of Nepal and Uttarakhand India meet. This is a long trail on a high plateau, typically entered via eastern Nepal.
This site has attracted pilgrimage from the Buddhists since at least c. 1200 CE. According to Alex McKay, a scholar of Tibetan history, it became a sacred site to Hindus once the mythical Manas and Kailasha were conflated with this site. |
