Mount Kailash rises like a chiseled spire above the Tibetan plateau, its snow-bright faces cutting into a restless cobalt sky. Revered by Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Bon traditions, the peak remains unclimbed—pilgrims honor it by circling its base. Hard light on striated rock and fresh snow lends a rarefied calm, capturing the austere beauty of sacred high country.
