For centuries Mount Kailas is known as the most sacred pilgrimage destination in Asia. It is common for pilgrims to circumambulate the sacred mountain, commonly called Kora (Pilgrimage Circuit) or Parikrama. Often pilgrims encompass both the Mansarovar Lake and Mount Kailash in a quest to wash away the sins of their lifetime. The drive from Nepal to this holy site or vice versa is a picturesque excursion passing panoramic landscapes, immaculate lakes, remote areas with grazing animals, and the fresh mountainous air blowing in all its glory.
