Kailash, a sacred mountain that stands in the Ali region of China, is a sacred place in the hearts of believers of Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Bon and other religions. Every year, countless devout pilgrims from all over the world gather here for a challenging and faith-testing ritual called the turning of the mountain. However, we are unable to provide exact data on the number of people who die each year in Kailash's activities during the mountain-turning.
First, we need to understand why such data is so hard to come by. On the one hand, with the continuous strengthening of safety measures in recent years, including the maintenance and improvement of the mountain route, the addition of medical rescue facilities, and safety warnings for climate change, the probability of accidents has been greatly reduced, and the number of deaths may be relatively reduced. But even so, these initiatives do not mean that the risks can be eliminated entirely, after all, mountain turns often come with harsh natural conditions and physical limits.
On the other hand, the incomplete statistics are also one of the reasons for the lack of accurate data on the number of deaths. Due to factors such as geographical limitations, lagging information dissemination and different statistical calibers, especially in remote mountainous areas, it is difficult to collect, verify and publish relevant information in the event of an accident. In addition, out of respect for the deceased and their families, the relevant agencies tend to keep a low profile when dealing with such information to avoid causing unnecessary social panic or causing secondary harm to the victim's family.
The risks of the mountain tour should not be overlooked, and participants should be deeply aware of it and be well prepared. This includes not only physical and psychological training to cope with the stress of extreme environments such as high altitude, low temperature, and lack of oxygen, but also to understand and strictly follow the relevant regulations, such as carrying the necessary survival equipment, following the established route, and not forcibly turning mountains in bad weather. At the same time, learning and mastering basic first aid knowledge in case of emergencies is also an important part of ensuring your own safety.
Here, we should express our awe for every life that embarks on a journey to turn the mountain. Each turn of the mountain is not only a firm pursuit of self-belief, but also a profound experience of the resilience and dignity of life. We hope that every pilgrim will be able to complete this sacred and arduous journey safely and smoothly in their devotion to Kailash, and let the light of life shine in the light of faith.
In conclusion, although we do not know the exact number of Kailash deaths each year, this should not be a reason to ignore the safety of the mountain. It is only through the continuous strengthening of the safety and security mechanism, the public's awareness of safety, and the rational treatment and adequate preparation of every pilgrim that the risk can be minimized, so that this sacred ritual can be continued, and every soul that desires purification and sublimation can find a home and peace at the feet of Kailash.
