The most mysterious mountain in the world remains unclimbed to this day

There was once a documentary called 'Gang Rinpoche', which revolves around a sacred and mysterious mountain. People have left their time, emotions, stories, and lives here. Gang Rinpoche is an existence more sacred than life itself in the hearts of the Tibetan people. I have long heard of many mysterious events associated with Gang Rinpoche, such as it being the center of the world, the prominent swastika symbol on the mountain, the mysterious caves on the mountain that no one has yet glimpsed, the pyramid-like shape of the mountain, and many legends related to yetis, wild men, long-haired monsters, and even extraterrestrials. Tibet is already a mysterious place, so high, so far, so cold, so quiet. Not to mention this mountain peak that is even higher, farther, colder, and quieter... I am willing to believe everything about Gang Rinpoche, even the legends. Travel Information: Gang Rinpoche is the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains, the highest peak in the western section of the range that traverses between the northern Kunlun Mountains and the southern Himalayas. It is one of the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism and is recognized as the 'center of the world' by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, the indigenous Bon religion of Tibet, and the ancient Jainism. Gang Rinpoche has an elevation of 6,714 meters and is composed of Neogene conglomerate. It is a steep, conical 'pyramid-shaped' mountain. Gang Rinpoche has been selected by 'China National Geographic' magazine as one of the top ten most beautiful mountains in China. Gang Rinpoche has symmetrical walls, with the more famous landmark on the south side: a huge ice chute that descends vertically from the summit and a horizontal rock layer that forms the Buddhist swastika symbol. Gang Rinpoche has always been a place of longing for pilgrims and explorers, but no one has yet been able to climb this sacred mountain, or perhaps no one dares to offend the center of the world. It is recommended to visit the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, or the Yamdrok Lake, Namtso Lake, Tashilhunpo Monastery around Lhasa, and the Nyingchi region. If time permits, it is best to take a look at Gang Rinpoche along the route of the Everest Base Camp.
