About Mount Kailash detail
The mountain is considered too sacred to climb. In 2001, a Spanish team received permission to climb but reversed course after international protest. The circumambulation takes 3 days. Some pilgrims do it in a single day. The inner parikrama is even more challenging. The mountain is shaped like a pyramid.
