Kailash Manasarovar, can be accessed through some classic on land routes, mostly in a caravan of trekkers or pilgrims, often with beasts of burden to carry provisions for the trip.
Hindus believe Mount Kailash is the representation of Mount Meerut, considered as the center of the Universe, while Tibetan Buddhists, Bon Pos and Jains have similar faith in the mountain. Tibetan Buddhists and the follower of the ancient Bon Po religion revere its as Mount Gang Rinpoche, the Tibetan name meaning 'jewel of snows' and the followers of Jainism, a religion centered in the notion of non-violence, believe that their founder Rishabanatha was enlightened at this mountain.
Mount Kailash is also famous and venerated as the source of four of the large Asian rivers: Brahmaputra, called Tsangpo in Tibetan language; Karnali, which flows through the Indian subcontinent with the name of holy Ganges; Indus and Sutlej; all are fuelled by holy Lake Manasarovar and have their origins within sixty miles of the Mount Kailash.
