>> You must have known the fact that beautiful Mount Kailash in Tibet 
>> has never been climbed by any mountaineer. It is heard in stories 
>> that a mystic Tibetan Seer and poet named Milarepa is the only human 
>> being who has been able to climb the peak of Mount Kailash. It was 
>> over about some 900 years ago, and since then we have just heard the 
>> stories of how nobody has been able to reaching the summit of this 
>> unclimbable peak.
>> Do you ever wonder what makes this peak so difficult to be climbed? 
>> Is it the physical infeasibility, the difficulty because of altitude, 
>> or some other mystic and inexplicable reason which are beyond human 
>> control and understanding? Here are some facts about the most 
>> mysterious mountain, and a small attempt to understand what the 
>> mystery behind this unclimbed peak could possibly be which allows no 
>> one to complete the summit of Mount Kailash. We don’t guarantee to 
>> clarify it, or to challenge the peak’s unclimbability, we just wish 
>> to seek an explanation to it.
>> Mount Everest is 8848 metre (29029 ft) in height and its summit has 
>> been scaled by over 4,000 people, while Mount Kailash is 6638 metre 
>> (21778 ft) and its summit is unclimbed.
>> Jainism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Bon are the 4 major religions that 
>> believe Mount Kailash to be a sacred place.

>> According to ancient Tibetan legends and writings, “No mortal ever be 
>> allowed to walk atop Mount Kailash, where, among the clouds, is the 
>> abode of the gods. He who dares to start the top of Mount holy and

>> Colonel Wilson, one of the many mountaineers who tried to climb the 
>> summit of Mount Kailash explained, “Just when I discovered an easy

>> Sergei Cistiakov, a Russian climber gives an explanation to not being 
>> able to finish the summit which will stun you – “When we approached 
>> the foot of the mountain, my heart was pounding. I was in front of 
>> the sacred mountain, Mount which says it cannot be beat. I felt 
>> extremely emaciated and suddenly I became captivated by the thought 
>> that I do not belong on this mountain, it must necessarily come back! 
>> As soon as we started the descent, I felt liberated.”

>> Those who visit the area around the mountain have seen their nails 
>> and hair grow to a length in 12 hours, which in normal conditions 
>> would happen in 2 weeks! The mountain has an air that causes rapid 
>> ageing.

>> Some Russian scientists have studied the mountain to a great extent 
>> and have put forward an idea that Mount Kailash could be a man-made 
>> pyramid, and might be the ultimate paranormal phenomenon that 
>> connects all the other such monuments in the world where similar 
>> things have been observed. It is believed to be the centre of this 
>> world-wide system.

>> Mt. Kailash is believed to be the Axis Mundi, literally the ‘Axis’ of 
>> the world that provides a connection between the earth and heaven, 
>> between the physical world and the spiritual worlds, the celestial 
>> centre of the world where heaven meets earth.

>> Legend says that the Mt. Kailash is the earthly manifestation of 
>> Mount Meru/Sumeru which is the spiritual centre of the universe 
>> according to Buddhist, Jains, and Hindu cosmology.

>> Every year thousands of Buddhist, Jain, Hindu and Bönpo pilgrims 
>> circumambulate the foot of Mount Kailash, which is 52 km long.
>> Even with so many studies and many theories, it is believed that no 
>> one has ever understood the real reason why Mount Kailash cannot be 
>> climbed, why thousands attempted and failed despite of it being a 
>> mountain with a height of 6638 metres which mountaineers should be 
>> able to do. But some things are fine if they remain the mysteries 
>> that they are, no matter how much intimidating they seem, or how long 
>> their history has been.
