Today we are going to know about one of the world's most sacred and mysterious place Mount Kailash.
Location of Mount Kailash
Mount Kailash is located in the Tibet province of the South- West China . 20 kilometres to its southeast is the freshwater lake Mansarovar and 40 kilometres to its south is the saline lake Rakshashtal . Because of its religious significance in the four religions, each of them have their own reason to believe that the mountain is sacred. According to Hindus, Mount Kailash is an abode of Lord Shiva and his family while Buddhism says that it is home of Buddha Dem Chok and they call it Mount Meru.

Pilgrims from all over the world come here to perform a ritual of circumambulating (Parikrama) a 52 km long path around Mount Kailash believing that it will bring good fortune to them .
Mystery of Mount Kailash
Apart from its religious and sacred significance, Kailash has gained attention of many scientists and explorers from all around the world. Having height of 6638 metres, no man has ever climbed to the summit of the mountain while Mount Everest which is about 9159 meters tall, has recorded successful summit climbs. Its not that no one has ever tried to climb the hill but whosoever has ever given it a attempt ended up in a mysterious way. In the late 19th and early 20th century, some Russian climbers were trying scale the mountain and they just vanished. No one knows what happened to them.
There is also an incident of some Siberian climbers who climbed beyond a particular point and they suddenly aged by a few decades and a year later all of them died because of old age. In fact those who have visited Mount Kailash claimed a rapid growth in the aging process. The nails and the hairs grow to a length in 12 hours which in normal conditions would happen in two weeks. Researchers have also mentioned that the air around the mountain increases the rate of aging process.
In 1999, a Russian opthalmologist named Ernst Muldachev went on an expedition to the mysterious mountain with his team of geologists, physicists and historians. After meeting several Tibetans Lamas and spending several months around the foot of the mountain, the team came to the conclusion that Mount Kailash is a massive pyramid built by ancient and advanced people who knew about the laws of subtle energy and is directly connected with the main pyramids of the earth such as the pyramids of Giza and thiochi.
It could also be the centre to all the paranormal activities, in a book Muldachev wrote about a incident when one night he and his colleagues heard the noise of a falling stone which was coming from the interior of the mountain. His research also gave a surprising result that the scheme of the mountain are very similar to the structure of DNA molecules and Kailash is definitely related to the life on earth.
Well, talking about the answer to the question of whether anyone can ever climb Mount Kailash, then the answer would be a no because from the year 1980, the Chinese government has banned any sort of trekking to the mountain. Also, there is a saying that a soul free of any sins could climb Kailash, which is a impossible task to accomplish.
