In Hindu Mythology, Lord Shiva spends most of the time on the peak of the holy Mount Kailash, practicing Yogic austerities, joy, and love together with his divine consort Parbati (Mother of Mythology). The Lake Mansarovar and therefore the Holy Mount Kailash are the souls of all AUM followers in the world. “Conventional wisdom says one circuit of Mt. Kailash wipes out the sins of a lifetime, 108 Parikarma guarantees enlightenment. A ritual bath within the sacred Mansarovar Lake delivers pilgrim to Brahmas paradise and a drop drink of its water relinquishes the sins of hundreds of lifetimes."

Lapcha la pass (4550m) is found on the Nepal side on the border of the Mansarovar to Tibet which is just 7km away from the lakeshore.
