Mount Kailash, located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, is a peak in the Kailash Range which forms part of the Transhimalaya. Revered as a sacred site in four religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon—Mount Kailash is believed to be the earthly manifestation of Mount Meru, the spiritual center of the universe in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain cosmology. The mountain stands at an elevation of 6,638 meters (21,778 feet) and remains unclimbed due to its religious significance. Pilgrims undertake a circumambulation (kora) around the base of the mountain, a journey that spans approximately 52 kilometers (32 miles) and is considered a path to enlightenment.
