Description
Mount Kailash (Devanagari is a peak in the Gangdisê mountains which is part of the Himalayas in Tibet, 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) —and is considered as a sacred place in four religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Bön faith. In Hindu religion, it is considered to be the abode of Lord Shiva. The mountain lies near Lake Manasarowar and Lake Rakshastal in Tibet.
There have been no recorded attempts to climb Mount Kailash; 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.

This is wonderfully evocative of huge slabs of rock, reaching up to the sky. The low bass/cello foundation really set the strong foundation of a mountain, eerie and strong, with ascending strings that keep making me look up higher. The timpani came in EXACTLY when I was thinking "he should have timpani right here"! Beautiful mental imagery of a mysterious mountain.
