Mystical forbidden Himalayan mountain
 |
| The Buddha's world: Central to South Asia |
The biggest mountain in Buddhist cosmology is called Mount Meru or "Good Meru" (Sumeru, Sineru), Meruparvata in Sanskrit.
Human progress and exploration scratch and pound at the fringes of our known "world" (loka) and publicly-disclosed understanding.
Yet, there are still places in the world that have remained mostly unexplored by humans. (FACT: 25% of the USA has never been surveyed by anyone on the ground but only flown over).
One such place sits high in the cold remoteness of the Himalayan Mountain range dividing Vajrayana Buddhist Bhutan and Mahayana Buddhist China.
In this place of desolate and bitter cold, unforgiving, biting winds, and jagged peaks looms a virtually unexplored mountain steeped in myth and magic known as Gangkhar Puensum. It is located in closed Bhutan, the last Buddhist Himalayan kingdom now become a republic, near its border with China. Source: mysteriousuniverse.org
