July,28 2016 BY Master Catherine Jigme 0 COMMENTS

If you are interested in the snowy mountains in Tibet, it's a good time for you to have Tibet travel. Mt. Kangrinboge (or Mt. Kailash), Asia's holiest mountain in Nagri of south China's Tibet, is to witness the highest charity race late August, 2012.

Teams composed of celebrities, philanthropists and outdoors fans will be organized to attend the trekking race around Mt. Kangrinboge at a height between 4700m and 5640m, the highest of its kind ever recorded in history.

Given the high altitude, there is no doubt a "challenging" race.

Alpine guides and medical experts are specially invited from Tibetan Mountaineering School to convoy the racers. Altogether nine staging posts and medical sites are planned as pre-stage investigation has completed.

As Gangdise Range's secondary peak, the 6721m high Mt. Kangrinboge has for long been respected as the Holy Mountain all around the world by a large number of followers. It is also rendered as the center of the universe in Tibetan Buddhism and other three Asian religions.

Neither the highest peak nor the most difficult route, Mt. Kangrinboge is the only virgin peak that has never been topped among the climbers, out of faithful piety. However, every year tens of thousands of pilgrims come all the way to take ritual walks around the mountain.

Environmental protection will also be highlighted and promoted in the race. Racers are encouraged to pick trashes left by ritual walkers during the trek and that will be weighed and calculated into the incentive time reduction. Also the trash distribution along the route will be recorded and analyzed for future trash recycling site construction.
