Yaks carrying the pilgrims goods

Yaks carrying the pilgrims goods

Pilgrims throng to Kailash: not just Tibetans, but Hindus and Buddhists from India to Japan, joined by Western and Chinese travellers. Some, like us, walk across the Himalaya along old trade or pilgrimage routes, gaining valuable acclimatisation to the potentially fatal altitude. This animals are a great help for many pilgrims who come from far away to the Holy Kailash.
