Kora
Chiu Gompa/Horqu
Paryang 4750m
The giant snow-topped pyramid of Kailash stands apart and distinct from those around it, dominating the landscape. The 53-kilometer kora is one of the most sacred of pilgrimage circuits in the world. The four great rivers (Brahmaputra, Sutlej, Indus and Ganges) have their source near Lake Manasarovar. It is an incredibly beautiful lake, usually cobalt blue, though can turn into an angry, churning black during storms. |
