Lake Manasarovar is, at 4,558 meters, one of the highest bodies of fresh water in the world. It is immense. In the distance is Gurla Mandhata. Considered holy to both Hindus and many Buddhists, there is no fishing or boating on the lake.

In the panorama below, Kailash is more or less straight across the lake, and Gurla Mandhata is to the left.
