human. The untouched mountain is known as ‘kailasa’ in Sanskrit, which
roughly translates to mean 'crystal'. In Hinduism, it is said that Shiva
sits in lotus position, engaged in deep meditation.
Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner was given the opportunity by the Chinese government to climb the mountain in the mid-1980s. But he reportedly declined, saying “If we conquer this mountain, then we conquer something in people’s souls. I would suggest they go and climb something a little harder.” In 2001, permission was denied to a Spanish team, who requested to climb the peak. Chinese authorities promised that any climbing activities on Mount Kailash were strictly prohibited. As of 2023, there have been no known successful ascents of the mountain.
