Mount Kailas is the most sacred of the world’s mountains - holy to one fifth of humanity. Isolated beyond the central Himalayas it is claimed by myth to be the source of the universe created from cosmic waters and the mind of Brahma. Its summit has never been scaled but for centuries the mountain has been ritually circled by Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims.Colin Thubron joins these pilgrims after an arduous trek from Nepal through the high passes of Tibet to the magical lakes beneath the slopes of Kailas itself. His trek around the great mountain revered by multitudinous others awakes an inner landscape of solitude love grief restoring precious fragments of his own origins.
