Cypriot mountaineer travels to centre of the universe

Unlike many other sites on the globe, Lord Shiva’s home of Mount Kailash is as remote as it is sacred. And not many people can say they have visited. But among them is one Cypriot mountaineer, who not only managed to reach the closest permitted point to the 6,638m peak but recorded his journey there as well.

Mount Kailash is known for strict climbing regulations set by the Chinese government to protect the spiritual significance it holds for millions of Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bon followers.
