A video of a mountain shot from an aeroplane is being shared on social media with a claim that it is of Mount Kailash.

The video is being shared with the caption, “कैलाश पर्वत का अद्भुत दृश्य.”

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the post and found it to be false.

We took screengrabs of the video and put them through a Reverse Image search. The search led us to a website called Global Weather & Climate Center where the same video was used. The blog was published on June 19, 2017. 

According to the blog, the visuals are of Mount Fuji in Japan.

We found that the same video was on another website called ‘I love funny things’ in 2016.

On searching further, we found that the image of the same view was shared by an Instagram handle vinoverdrive. the image was shared with the caption, “Can now imagine the view frm mt fuji’s summit from this perspective. #gopro #goprooftheday #mountfuji #japan #grammasters3.”

While going through the comments on the post, we found that the original image was edited using software that made the clouds move. However, it is not clear who did it.

From the above information, it is clear that the viral video is edited and is of Mount Fuji in Japan and NOT of Mount Kailash.
