Mount Kailash holds a special place in the hearts of people around the world. The peak draws religious and spiritual seekers alike to experience its profound aura. The region around Mount Kailash is a restricted area, and special permits are required for foreign visitors to travel there. Located in the southwestern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region in China, it is part of the Trans-Himalaya range. However now, devotees will be allowed to visit Mount Kailash from the Indian territory beginning in September this year.

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has begun work on cutting the road from KMVN Huts in Nabhidhang in Pithoragarh district to Lipulekh pass on the India-China border, which would be finished by September, according to officials. After the road is finished, a ‘Kailash View Point’ will be built along the route.
Officials also claimed that a lot of road-cutting work has to be undertaken and that if the weather cooperates, it would be finished by September. Moreover, the Kailash-Mansarovar yatra, which had been postponed because of the Covid epidemic, has not restarted.
Presently, the nearest Indian town to Mount Kailash is Purang (also known as Taklakot) in the state of Uttarakhand. From Purang, you can have a vague view of Mount Kailash. The main route for pilgrims to Mount Kailash is through the Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand, India, which leads them into Tibet.

Mount Kailash has a distinctive four-sided summit, and its proximity to Lake Manasarovar, and the arduous Kailash Kora pilgrimage circuit have all contributed to its mystique and significance.
Adjacent to Mount Kailash lies Lake Manasarovar, a freshwater lake of immense significance in its own right. According to Hindu mythology, Lake Manasarovar was created by Lord Brahma. It is considered an embodiment of purity and a representation of the mind. Taking a dip in the lake is believed to cleanse one’s sins and purify the soul.
The allure of Mount Kailash extends beyond religious devotion; it beckons seekers of truth and spiritual wisdom. Throughout history, spiritual adepts, ascetics, and sages have sought seclusion in the mountains to attain higher consciousness and transcendental wisdom.
