Many devote thinking there are so many Lord Shiva and Parbati temples, Ganesh temples, and Shivlangam around the Kailash Mansarovar area. Please do not believe it, Kailash Parbat and lake Manasarovar is only a spiritual holy mountain and lake with the true myth. Around there, not such any temples and shiva lingam beside Buddhist Monastery and some Caves. But, around the Kailash, there are 108 holy places that represent different deities of Lord Shiva and Parbati. The Nandi parvat, Bhringi, Yogini, Saptarishi cave, Atmaa Lingam, and Parbati Kunda is one of most popular highlights.
Known as Kangrinpoche in the Tibetan Language is the home and playground of Hindu supreme Lord Shiva. Situated in the western part of Tibet, Kailash Mansarovar has been considered equally sacred by Buddhists. It is also the chief pilgrimage destination for Jains and Bons. For the Hindus and Buddhists, it is the center of the Universe.
A pilgrimage tour or “holy yatra” to the Kailash Mansarovar and to endure challenges of traversing across high passes. And, other adverse circumstances only to circumnavigate it, is the major goal of most of Hindu and Buddhist devotees. Devotees from all over the world throng to Mount Kailash traveling weeks to months. Hence, it is an absolute opportunity for western travelers to understand the Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist cultures during the Mt. Kailash Mansarovar tour.
Besides, Mt. Kailash continuously feeds water to four of the great rivers of Asia namely Indus, Brahmaputra ( Yarlung Tsangpo), Karnali (The sacred Ganges), and Sutlej which have their sources within Sixty miles of the Mountain. Precisely talking Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar are the integral reasons behind the civilization of the Indian Sub-continent and entire south Asia.
