Khawa Karpo / Mt. Kawa Karpo or Moirigkawagarbo (Kawagebo (卡瓦格博) is in Yunnan Province , it is here in the steep valleys that novelist James Hilton set his Lost Horizon, describing the utopian wonderland of Shangri-La (Gyalthang, Kham) where time stands still. Kawagebo is one of the most sacred mountains for Tibetan Buddhists and is also considered as the spiritual home of a warrior god which pre-existed Buddhism's arrival in Tibet. It is visited by 20,000 pilgrims each year; many pilgrims circumambulate the peak, an arduous 240 km (150 mi) trek. It is also the highest mountain in Yunnan, China. Located in Weixi Lisu Autonomous County in Diqing Prefecture on the border with Tibet, and near the border with Myanmar. It rises about 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of Diqing, which lies on the China National Highway 214. Kawagebo is the high point of the Meili Xue Shan (Meili Snow Mountain), a small subrange of the Hengduan Shan, the major north-south trending complex of mountains covering the region where Tibet, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Myanmar converge. The Meili Xueshan forms part of the divide between the upper Salween (Nujiang) and Mekong (Lancangjiang) rivers. The Bon religion followers of Tibet believe Kawa Karpo is the abode of their male diety (Pho-lha).
