Tibet's Holy Mountain

Where Tibet, Nepal, and India meet rises a 22,000 foot high mountain thought by Hindus and Buddhists to hold at its peak the throne of the foremost gods. This program follows the trail to Mt. Kailash, also stopping to visit shrines and other sacred sites at Tsaparang, the 11th century capital of the old Tibetan kingdom of Guge, at Khojarnat, where stately cloisters remained open despite the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and at Lhasa, whose architecture and rich decorative arts illustrate the Buddhist concept of the world.
