Mount Kailash · Kora and Lost Time

Mount Kailash is a sacred mountain revered by multiple religions, and the pilgrimage circuit around it is approximately 52 kilometers long.

Many pilgrims have described the same phenomenon: while trekking on certain sections at an altitude of over 5,000 meters, they feel as though “time has stretched”—a long time seems to have passed on their watches, when in reality only a few moments have gone by; or vice versa.

Others claim to have seen travelers from another era at the mountain pass, wearing traditional Tibetan robes and walking in the opposite direction. When you turn back to look, there is nothing on the road.
