Kailash [mountain range] - Kailash
In Chinese characters, it is called Okatsusi. It is also called the Gangdise Mountains. It runs parallel to the Himalayas in the southwestern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region, and forms the watershed between the Yarlungsuangbo River (Brahmaputra River) and the inland water system of the North Tibetan Plateau. It is 1500 km long. Its main peak is Lobo Peak (7095m). In the west is Kangrinboche (Kailash) Peak (6638m), a sacred mountain for Lamaism (Tibetan Buddhism) and Hinduism. Together with the nearby sacred lake Mapamyamtso (Lake Manasarovar), the area is a holy place for Hinduism, and pilgrims from India and other places visit it every year.
