Mount Kailash (冈仁波齐峰, Gang Ren Bo Qi Feng in Chinese) is the second highest peak on the Gangdisi Range and one of the main peaks in the mountains. Height 6,656 meters above sea level, located in southern Ngari area of Tibet and it neighbors to the Lake Manasarova in the south, Kailash means Snowy Treasure or Mountain of God in Tibetan language. Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Tibetan Bon Sect and ancient Jainism are seeing Mt. Kailash as the center of the world. It is always icy at elevation above 6,000 meters. There are 28 present glaciers, mostly cirque glaciers and hanging glaciers, and more glaciers on the southern side than the northern.

Mt. Kailash looks like a giant pyramid of a base circumference about 72 kilometers. Tibetans call it the panhandle of a stone mill. The southern side viewed from afar, you will be noticing a giant Buddhist symbol miraculously formed by glaciers and rocks near the summit. Mt. Kailash is the place of origin of ancient Bon Sect in Buddhism. The religious worshipping of the peak traced back to about three thousand years ago according to some epic books and historical documents from India and Tibet.

The scenic highlight of Mount Kailash is that the thick snow will not melt on the mountainside facing the strong ultraviolet rays from the sun. Conversely, by surprise, the side behind the sun is very cold, but it often dry, even if snow falls, which will melt when the sun shines on it. This is a reverse of the common natural rules. Mount Kailash also has some silence and solemn places, like valleys, stone scenery and springs. However, the summit is often blocked by dense and white clouds, you will find difficult to see the real face. If see, it is so strong impact in your eyes and soul. 

There are five monasteries around Mt. Kailash area and the Nianri Monastery (年日寺) is the starting point of a round mountain trip. A lot of Buddhist legends can be found, with much artistic stuff like carvings, sculptures and murals.
