The Simikot Kailash Trekking route opened in 1993 for travelers. Simikot Kailash Tour route is the shortest and most practical route for trekkers in terms of both elevation and distance. The tour to Mt. Kailash commences from Simikot, which is situated at an elevation of 3000 meters, and climbs up to Na-Lagna pass (4340 meters) before reaching the arid Tibetan Plateau. From Simikot, it is a 5 days journey to reach the Tibetan border town, which is plenty of time to be acclimatized for high altitude.
Mt. Kailash is a peak in the Gangdise Mountains, which are part of the Himalayas in Tibet. It lies near the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia: the Indus River, the Sutlej River (a major tributary of the Indus River), the Brahmaputra River, and the Karnali River (a tributary of the Ganges River). It is considered a sacred place in four religions: Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. In Hinduism, it is considered to be the abode of Lord Shiva and a place of eternal bliss. The mountain lies near Mansarovar Lake and Rakshastal Lake in Tibet. There have been no recorded attempts to climb Mount Kailash till now; it is considered off limits to climbers in deference to Buddhist and Hindu beliefs. It is the most significant peak in the world that has not seen any known climbing attempts. Mansarovar Lake lies at 4,556 m above the sea level, and it is only one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world, and is relatively round in shape with a circumference of 88 km. Its depth is 90 m (300 ft) and its surface area is 320 square kilometers (120 sq mi). The lake freezes in winter and melts only in the spring. It is connected to nearby Lake Rakshastal by the natural Ganga Chhu channel.
