Kailash (6,714m/22,028ft) is a spectacular mountain of beauty and grace, with four great carinal faces – northern face is believed to be gold, western ruby, southern sapphire and eastern crystal. This mountain is spiritually venerated and circled by thousands of pilgrim every year but no one have ever attempt the climb.
