Mt. Kailash (6714m.), Asia's most sacred mountain is located in a high and isolated enclave of west Tibet. It is one of three Pilgrimage sites in the area, known collectively as Kangri Tsosum; the other two are Pönri Ngaden and Lake Manasarovar. All are said to be at the heart of ancient Shangshaung Kingdom, the supposed land of origin per-Buddhist Bönpos. Mt. Kailash is their soul mountain (Lari), which they also call Yungdrung Gu Tse, the Nine-story Swastika Mountain. This is the very place where the sect's legendary founder, Tönpa Shenrab descended from heaven to earth.
Sacred lake manasarover (4588m.) is located in western Tibet between Mt. Kailash (6714m.) and the Gurla Mandhata Range (Memo Nani, 7694m.). For Hindus, Manasarovar floats beneath the shadow of holy Kailash as the lake formed in the mind of god. It was created to show the omnipotence of Brahma's mind, Manas. Tibetans know it as Mapham Tso, "the unconquerable lake". In any language, this is the holiest, most famous lake in Asia. The Hindu poet, Kalidasa, wrote in the third century.
