  • Today is an important day of your drive as today you will not only reach the holy
    Lake Mansarovar but will also get the first glimpse of holy Mount Kailash. The drive
    starts early as we have to travel a long way to Lake Mansarovar and there are
    several check points on the way which will make the journey tiring and time taking.
    It is estimated to start the drive by 07.00 am. Before Mayumla Pass (4900m) we will
    stop at the check post. From here we continue our drive to Lake Mansarovar and
    get the first darshan of Mount Kailash. Though the drive today is long but the road

  • Night view of Lake Mansarovar : In the night the travelers may pay a visit to Lake
    Mansarovar to witness its beauty under the moon light. Though visiting lake in the 
    night iscompletely safe but it is advisable to go in a group and if possible, take a Nepalese Sherpawith you for any required help. Cover yourself properly with warm clothes or blanket as the temperature outside will be cold. Also don’t forget to carry a torch and a whistle.

  • Meals: Breakfast- Lunch -Dinner
  • Early morning visits the Mansarovar lake for holy bath, performing puja, hawan and
    other rituals as per your own customs. The lake looks stunning in the morning and
    the beautiful sight of Mount Kailash makes it even more delightful. The water of the
    lake will be definitely very cold but the devotees are always full of spirituality and
    devotion and do not wish to skip this holy bath. It is to be noted carefully that the
    recent change in the law of Tibetan Govt has restricted dip bath in the lake and has
    categorized it as a punishable offence. So kindly refrain from going inside the lake
    and for the bath ask our sherpas only to bring water in a bucket for you. After dip
    bath and prayer, the group is ready to drive to Darchen and will travel through
    Rakshasa Taal and Chiu Gompa by performing 70% parikrama of the holy lake.
    Remaining part of parikrama will be performed while coming back from Darchen
    after kora of Mt. Kailash. On reaching Darchen check into the hotel and spend rest
    of the time relaxing and preparing for the next day kora of Mount Kailash. Dinner

  • Today, we wake up early and after taking light breakfast, we head to Tarboche. Do
    not forget to fill your water bottle before leaving for the trek. All pilgrims have the
    opportunity to visit Yama Dwar before trek (kora) starts. Tarboche is the point
    (towards the South face of Mount Kailash) where one can hire horse/pony to ride on
    the trek during the kora. The price and availability of horse/pony and porter is
    controlled by the local Union and Kailash yatra trip operators and our team will
    have no control over it. From Tarboche we proceed to Yama Dwar which is
    considered to be the start point of Kailash kora. From Yama Dwar we start 12 kms
    trek to Dirapuk slowly and gradually. The trek to Dirapuk Gompa today is fairly
    easy but as you walk-in high-altitude lack of oxygen in the air makes the trek little
    difficult, as you feel short of breath on the trek. We will take a stop in the middle of
    the trek where we find some small shops and tea stall and then again continue to
    Dirapuk. On reaching Dirapuk the pilgrims will see the majestic Mount Kailash
    standing high on right side of their trek. Take some beautiful photos and then
    continue to your guesthouse near Dirapuk Monastery. The night will be too cold
    below zero-degree temperature so we will have quick and light dinner (Khichdi,
    soup etc) and rest in the bed.

  • Optional trip from Darchen: It is possible to arrange a visit to Ashtapad from Darchen on
    request of the pilgrim but please be informed that one should trek from Darchen to
    Ashtapad and back to Darchen, as there is no transport service permitted by Chinese
    authorities in this area. The trip to Ashtapad is subject to permission of local authoritiesand on direct payment basis to Tibetan Guides.

    begin the trek towards Zuthulphuk. This day is considered as the toughest day of
    this entire trip as the trek goes steep up continuously up to Dolma-La pass (5630
    m) and then steep down to Gauri Kunda. Near Dolma La pass you will witness
    colourful flags around and belongings of people spread nearby. This place is called
    Shiva Tsal (Shiva Sthal). It is said that people performing parikrama must leave
    something behind here may be a used cloth or ornament or a drop of blood or a
    lock of hair which symbolizes the act of leaving this life behind and wishing for the
    end of a miserable life. The total trek today we have to cover is about 22 kms to

Altitude sickness is very common for everyone who arrives at high altitude regions from lower altitude areas, but some are affected more seriously than others.
