Why Do People Perform the Kailash Kora?
Why Do People Perform the Kailash Kora?
Every year, thousands of pilgrims — Tibetan monks, travelers, and seekers from all over the world — journey to Mount Kailash, the most sacred mountain on Earth.
They walk 52 kilometers around it, through freezing winds, high altitudes, and silence so vast that even time seems to pause.
But why?
Why do people risk exhaustion and hardship just to walk around a mountain?
🌄
Because Kailash Is Not Just a Mountain
In Buddhist, Hindu, Bon, and Jain traditions, Mount Kailash is the axis of the world, the center that connects heaven and earth.
Walking around it — known as the kora — represents the cycle of life, the purification of karma, and the return to spiritual truth.
Each step wipes away a layer of ignorance.
Each breath becomes a prayer.
Each turn brings you closer to liberation.

The Spiritual Power of the Kora
It is said that:
-
One full kora erases the sins of a lifetime
-
Ten koras bring rebirth in the realm of joy
-
A hundred koras can lead to enlightenment
And in the Year of the Horse, the merit multiplies thirteenfold —
making it the most powerful year to perform the pilgrimage.

Why People Still Come — Even from Afar
Today, not everyone can make the journey physically.
Travel restrictions, health, or responsibilities keep many away.
Yet the wish to connect with Kailash remains alive in the hearts of millions.
That’s why KoraGuard was created —
to help those who cannot go in person still complete the sacred kora through our Proxy Pilgrimage Service.
Our local team performs the full circumambulation of Mount Kailash on your behalf, following traditional Tibetan ritual steps.
We record the entire journey — from prayers to offerings — and send you spiritual items from the sacred site.
Faith transcends distance. Kailash hears every heart that calls its name.
