Back to the list of natural wonders in Civ5
Mt. Kailash is a natural wonder in Civilization V: Gods & Kings. It spawns in grassland, plains, and mountain tiles.
Strategy[]
Reflecting its real-life status as a sacred mountain, Mt. Kailash provides a small bonus to Happiness and a large bonus to Faith. Empires that focus on religion should try to found a city near Mt. Kailash and incorporate it into their territory as early as possible, and the Persians and Brazilians will particularly enjoy the Happiness bonus it provides.
Civilopedia entry[]
The sacred peak of Mount Kailash, found in the Himalayas of Tibet, is cherished by a number of religions, particularly the followers of Hinduism. It is believed to be the home of Lord Shiva, who dwells on the mountain in a state of eternal bliss. Mount Kailash is said to be among the most difficult of all religious pilgrimages, as the harsh conditions dissuade many would-be pilgrims, and the mountain is not accessible by any forms of modern transportation.
