Description
Mt. Kailash is written by S. Dhammika. This book provides information about a pilgrim’s companion. After Mount Everest, Mount Kailash is the most celebrated mountain in the Himalayas.
The name Kailash is derived from the Sanskrit kailasa meaning ‘crystal’. It is 6,714 meters (22,028 ft.) above sea level and some 2000 meters above the surrounding plain. Technically Mt. Kailash is not in the Himalayas but in what is called either the Gangdise Range or the Kailash Range which runs parallel to the Himalayas. Despite its fame it is by no means the highest mountain in the Himalayas, not even the highest in the region.
