Tibetan wild ass "kyang" and Mt Kailash, Tibet

The kiang (Equus kiang) is the largest of the wild asses. This equine is native to the Tibetan Plateau, where it inhabits montane and alpine grasslands from 4000 to 7000 meters elevation. Its current range is restricted to Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir, plains of the Tibetan plateau and northern Nepal along the Tibetan border.

Other common names for this species include Tibetan wild ass, khyang, and gorkhar.

Mount Kailash itself is known in the Tibetan language as Gang Ti-se and informally as Gang Rinpoche ("Precious Snow Mountain"), to the Bon as Yungdrung Gutsek གཡུང་དྲུང་ སྒུ་ བརྩེག་ ("Nine stacked Svastikas"). Though only 6714 m high, it stands quite alone like a great white sentinel guarding the main routes into Tibet from India and Nepal in the south and west.
