Our site is all about travel, and the people who love it. We’re non-political unless there is something pertinent to say when it comes to the rights of other humans being crushed or diminished. We always aim to find something new about travel and share it with you, our readers. We’re not young, but your editor and his much better half always get a big thrill when a new travel opportunity comes along. We support “the little guys” whenever we can, although, to be transparent, some of our earnings come from the bigger travel suppliers. That trade-off enables us to turn you on to new things as well.
Getting back to “the little guys,” we have recently discovered one of the most energetic and focused YouTube creators in a long time. Tibet Travel is, for now, a singular gentleman, Jamyang. A tour guide for 15 years, his love, devotion and sheer joy of Tibet is clear and genuine. Watch the video above, and see what we mean.
Mount Kailash (also Kailasa; Kangrinboqê or Gang Rinpoche; Standard Tibetan: གངས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ; simplified Chinese: 冈仁波齐峰; traditional Chinese: 岡仁波齊峰; pinyin: Gāngrénbōqí Fēng; Sanskrit: कैलास, IAST: Kailāsa) is a mountain in Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
It lies in the Kailash Range (Gangdisê Mountains) of the Trans Himalaya, in the western part of the Tibetan Plateau. The peak of Mount Kailash is located at an elevation of 6,638 m (21,778 ft), near the western trijunction between China, India and Nepal.
And in case you enthusiastic types get all excited, while the mountain has been surveyed by climbers in the past, there has been no recorded successful ascent of the mountain. In fact, the climbing of the mountain is prohibited by the Chinese government due to its religious significance. Read more here.
