Among the numerous majestic mountains in Ngari, Mt. Kangrinpoche in Burang County is the best known holy mountain to the world as recognized as the center of this planet in Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism and Bon (the original religion in Tibet). The highest peak in Gangdise Mountain range, Mt. Kangrinpoche zigzags into a pyramid shape, averaging 6,656 meters above sea-level. In Tibetan language, Kangrinpoche means "mountain of gods and goddesses".
Twenty kilometers onwards from Mt. Kangrinpoche lies another engaging spot-Lake Manassarovar. A freshwater lake averages 4,588 meters above sea-level with 412 square kilometers of coverage and 70 meters of depth. It is world's highest fresh water lake. When the day clears up, the water appears transparently blue with ripples on the lake surface and reflected images of the clouds and the sky.
