Mount Kailas
Mount Kailas, the breathtaking “Jewel of the Snows” which towers to 22,000 feet in the center of the Trans-Himalayan range in southwestern Tibet, is revered by Hindus as paradise of Shiva and his beautiful consort, Parvati (“Daughter of the Mountain”). To Tibetan Buddhists, who identify the holy mountain the Sumeru (the cosmic center of the universe), it is the celestial throne of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the “highest bliss.”
