2. Impossible to climb, due to the mountain's regular change in position!
NOBODY except for one 11th century Tibetian Buddhist monk Milarepa has been successful in climbing Mount Kailash for it changes its target destination and even covers up tracks waylaying climbers. travelers suddenly end up moving in the opposite direction, or as soon as the path to the climb was visible the weather worsened and the climbers came down with severe illness and several others have never returned!

It is 6666 Km from the North pole & 13332 Km from the South Pole (double the 1st number of 6666). Even the ancient scriptures of the Vedas and the Ramayana mention Mt. Kailash as the cosmic axis, world pillar, center of the world, and the world tree!

8. It might be a man-made (or divine-made) pyramid!
The research conducted by Russian scientists suggest that Mt. Kailash isn't a mountain at all and that it is too perfect and symmetrical to be a natural phenomenon. The entire mountain resembles a cathedral and the faces are extremely perpendicular giving it the appearance of a pyramid. If this turns out to be true Mt. Kailash will become the biggest man-made pyramid, along with its group of 100 other pyramids (mountains) surrounding it!
