Kailash

From the sunlit shores of Cyprus to the heights of the Himalayas, a pioneering expedition sets out on a journey unlike any before it — the first Cypriot quest to Mount Kailash.
The film traces their path through the city of Kathmandu and shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, before rising onto the vast Tibetan Plateau. The expedition then reaches its spiritual climax: the holy Mount Kailash and the shimmering waters of Lake Manasarovar, revered by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon practitioners alike.
More than a travelogue, the film unfolds as an ethnographic exploration of the Kailash Parikrama — the ritual circumambulation of the mountain — capturing the devotion, traditions, and timeless stories of the pilgrims who walk this path of faith.
A cinematic bridge between Cyprus and the Himalayas, Kailash: The Cypriot Pilgrimage is both a chronicle of adventure and an invitation for future explorers to step into one of the world’s most mystical landscapes.
