Nearer the center of the world

A big group of Mount Kailas trekkers from India stayed in the same hotel. Although we did not brave the long bumpy ride to remote Mount Kailas (Mount Gandise in Tibetan) and Lake Manasarovar (Mapam Yumtso in Tibetan) - the center of the world where Gods reside, the source of Ganges, Indus and Brahmaputra - I surely will visit the next time I'm in Tibet.
