Holy Mount Kailash, the abode of Shiva, sacred to a billion Hindus, site of holy pilgrimage. I was only visiting as a tourist, but I saw others making the sacred kora circuit around the mountain. The Chinese government isn’t issuing visas to Indian citizens this year, but I saw a modest number of non-Indian Hindu pilgrims, plus many Tibetans and the occasional Westerner.
It was overcast and cloudy, but the sun occasionally broke through and I managed to get a few clear shots. It’s an imposing chunk of rock, notable for its unusual almost pyramid shape.
