Föllmi, O: Kailash
The Kailash! The sacred mountain of Tibet, the precious jewel in the snow, the center of the world where four of Asia's largest rivers rise, the house of Shiva and the ladder of Milarepa - travel photographer and Tibet expert Olivier Föllmi and Jean-Marie Hullot had dreamed of this for decades. In autumn 2016, they finally set off on a pilgrimage around the most famous mountain in the Himalayas, which reaches an altitude of 6,638 meters. Like millions of Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims before them, they followed the path of the white clouds on the "Kora", the circumambulation of the sacred mountain that purifies the soul of all those who perform it on foot, on horseback or through successive prostrations once in a lifetime. They visited Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya - mythical places of a Tibet that has now disappeared. They followed "the stones that pray" and bivouacked at Lake Manasarovar, one of the highest lakes in the world at around 4,500 meters and one of the holiest for Tibetan Buddhists.
The top photographer reports on this overwhelming pilgrimage to Kailash in outstanding pictures and touching portraits, accompanied by numerous quotes from Lama Anagarika Govinda.
