Kailash Heli tour via Kerung

Kailash Heli tour via Kerung is the best way to explore Kailash conveniently. Tibetan jargon, Mt. Kailash is known to be ‘Khang Rimpoche’, which means ‘Precious Jewel of Snow’. Mt. Kailash, at (6,714m/22,028ft), is a magnificent mountain of beauty and grace, with four great cardinal faces – the northern face is believed to be gold, the western face – ruby, the southern face -sapphire and the eastern face – crystal.

This mountain is the centerpiece of four religions and is held deeply sacred by millions. The mountain is circled by thousands of pilgrims every year, but no one has ever attempted to climb it due to its mythical religious significance.

This holy Kailash Heli tour via Kerung takes us to the spiritual ‘Mecca’ of Hindu-Buddhist-Jain and the Bon religions. Hindus believe that Mount Kailash is the holy abode of ‘lord Shiva’; the Jains calls it the mountain of ‘Astapada’ and believe it to be the place of Tishaba. Likewise, Bon followers call it the mountain of ‘Tishe’ and believe it to be the seat of Sipaimen – the Sky Goddess.
