The Holy Kailash in Tibet
Start the Kora around the Kailash (the Kora is the holy way around the mountain)
Barely a century ago, Mt. Kailash (6,658m) was shrouded in mystery. This holiest of sacred mountains was once only a myth to the outside world. Assumed to lie somewhere between the vast expanse of China and the subcontinent of India, it lay hidden within the forbidden land of Tibet. To the Tibetans it is Gangkar Ti se or Gang Rimpoche (Precious Snow Mountain) and is revered not only by Buddhists but also by millions of Hindus, Jains and followers of other traditional faiths.
The mountain is out of consideration for its religious meaning so far
not climed yet. First permission for mounting to the summit was given to Reinhold
Messner (1985), which he requested a permission for the surrounding area. This
done however without the execution. Since then no further permission
was given, also not in the year 2001, as the Spaniards Jesús Martinez
Novaz has planned an expedition for "political demonstration against
environmental degradation and for larger, global consciousness"
defined. This led however to world-wide protests of different groups
of religions, which, supported from famous mountain climbers, reject a
mounting of the Kailash.
Thank you Reinhold Messner for your consideration to all the people who believe in this holiness of the great jewel mountain!
