A highly valued place of pilgrimage Kailash is one of the most sacred mountains in the world. Kailash is revered by Bonpos Buddhists Hindus and Jains since times immemorial. However, its remote location, inhospitable rugged and dangerous terrain makes it the least visited of holy places. A journey to Kailash is a challenge, both at an emotional and physical level. Of the various routes to Kailash-Manasarovar, the route via Lipulekh Pass on the Indo-Tibetan border is the most ancient, from India. This travelogue follows the travails and tribulations of the author on his journey to Kailash and the way the holy mountain reached out to him.
