Where is Mount Kailash located?
Mount Kailash is a 6,638 m (21,778 ft) high peak in the Kailash Range (Gangdisê Mountains), which forms part of the Transhimalaya in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
The mountain is located near Lake Manasarovar and Lake Rakshastal, close to the source of some of the longest Asian rivers: the Indus, Sutlej, Brahmaputra, and Karnali also known as Ghaghara (a tributary of the Ganges) in India. Mount Kailash is considered to be sacred in four religions: Bon, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
Due to its religious significance, Kailash remains an unclimbed mountain.

The Ganges (including tributaries) and the Brahmaputra (including tributaries) each start from Kailash and flow separate courses for a total of over six thousand km before coming together to flow on to the sea.
