Buddhists and Hindus regard Mount Kailash as the pillar of the world, or the center of the world mandala. Every year, thousands of pilgrims circumambulate Mount Kailash, including some who prostrate the entire kora route. On our journeys, we hike or hire horses and stay in monastery guesthouses along the way.
