Sacred Kangrinboqe Peak is located in the west of the Tibetan Plateau in the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, 200 km from the border with Nepal. Geographically and geologically, it does not belong to the main Himalayan range. According to the official version of geologists, it rose along with the plateau from the bottom of the ocean, and then water and wind honed its edges, giving it a pyramidal shape.
The height of Kangrinboqe Peak is about 6700 meters. The exact height of Mount Kailash has not been determined, it is still considered unconquered and it is widely believed that Kailash has a height of 6666 m. Scientists disagree from 6638 to 6890 m, which is due to the method of measuring the heights of the mountains. In addition, the Himalayan mountains are considered young, so their height increases on average, taking into account weathering of the rock, by 0.5-0.6 cm per year.
