1. Sugreev sent his vanaar sena in search of mother Sita in all 4 directions; till date, it considered as the most extensive expedition ever.

2. Vanaar sena extensively searched for lost Goddess Sita and it was a belief that these monkeys had taken a re-birth so that they could participate in this search forever during the process of reincarnation of Lord Vishnu to eradicate adharmis/anti-social elements in Treta Yug.

3. Three peaks of the Himalayan range were discovered during Sugreev led expedition to search Goddess Sita and in this process of search, they returned with new information about the existence of 3 mountain peaks of Himalayas — Kala, Sudharshana, and Devasakha.

4. Sugreev led expedition was well informed in advance about the existence of Mount Kailash post crossing a very large segment of barren land a magical peak will be there which was Mount “Meru or Kailash” as known by all of us today.

5. Army of monkeys found the information shared by Sugreev true — the mentioned land lies in the plains of Tibet –China the location and existence of sacred mount Kailash was geographically correct and accurate as mentioned by Sugreev.

6. Sugreev also informed his army of monkeys about the description of a peak and landmark pass

I. Mt. Karuncha (impossible tunnel to get across )

II. Mt. Kaama(treeless peak ) and

III. Mt. Maanasa(Abode of birds)

7. A co-relation with Ravana and Himalayan peak –Sugreev also feared that Ravana the devil who was behind the abduction of Goddess Sita could have taken shelter in these Himalayan regions around Mt. Kailash.

8. According to Hindu scriptures, Ravana –supreme king of demons performed strict Pooja at the foothills of Mt. Kailash to please Lord Shiva hence the existence of “Rakshas Taal” — a lake of darkness and impurity indicates and point towards the story to be true.
