This is a trip to take you from Lhasa to the west of Tibet, Nagri, and then return to Lhasa. 2 days of Lhasa sightseeing let you have a general understanding of the history of Tibet, the humanities, and the lives of the local people. Then you will head to the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest via Gyangze, Shigatse, and Tingri. Last but not least, you will reach the Mt. Kailash. Kailash in Tibetan means the treasure of the snow-capped mountain. Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Bon – native religion in Tibet, and Jainism recognize it as the center of the world. Indians also think that this is the center of the world. They think Shiva lives here, who has the strongest mana and the highest position. At the same time, the upper reaches of the Indus and the Ganges originate from here. So, around the Mt. Kailash, you can see a large number of Indian pilgrims. Mt. Kailash is not the highest mountain in the area, but only the peak of its year-round snow can shine with a strange light in the sun shining, eye-catching eyes.
