Purang is a small and very clean town with lots of shops that have the necessary items for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and Parikrama as well.

The First Day of Parikrama on Mount Kailash
Wake up early in the morning and drive to Yamdwar, where you’ll take the first step towards the Parikrama of Kailash Parvat and begin the trek to Dirapuk, which is a 10-kilometer trek on the first day of Mount Kailash Parikrama. Get enlightened and feel blessed by the darshan of the North Face of Mount Kailash on the first day of Parikrama, which is considered to be most auspicious.Those who will not be going for Parikrama will travel from Yamdwar to Darchen, which is just 30 minutes away, and stay there in a guest house for 2 nights and enjoy the undeniable view of the holy Mount Kailash.
Important: Parikrama is optional. Few would be doing Parikrama by walking, a few by horse, and a few old people may not be doing Parikrama. Those who are not doing Parikrama will return from Yam Dwar to the Guest House at Darchen. We will arrange meals and accommodations there. Holy Mount Kailash is easily visible from there, and one can do puja from there too. People staying at Darchen will join other group members in the first half once they complete the third day of Parikrama.

Wake up early on your second day of Kailash Parvat Parikrama and start your trek of 22 km from Dirapuk to Dolma La Pass and then to Zuthulpuk. It is also said to be the most difficult part of the journey throughout the Kailash Parvat Yatra, as you will be trekking up to 18,600 feet above sea level. From Doma, La Pass descends to Gauri Kund and further treks along the river to Zuthulpuk.Overnight stay: lodge or guest house.On the 2nd day of your Mount Kailash Parikrama, the first 6-7 km (till Dolma La Pass at 5600 m) has a very steep climb and is also considered the most difficult part of the Yatra. All the yatris who are doing the Parikrama of Kailash Parvat are advised to take a comfortable time to cover it and rest whenever and wherever they feel any kind of problem. After the first 6-7 km, the remaining 16 km are comparatively plain, downward, and comfortable. 
Important: While performing Parikrama (Day 2), you will pass through Shivasthal (a sacred place for Tibetans who believe that whatever you offer here, you will get it in heaven) and Gauri Kund. After Dolma La Pass, it's a long, pleasant trek beside the river. You will see the east face of Mount Kailash here. 

The third and last day of Mount Kailash Parikrama is about 8 km and takes almost 3 hours to complete. Generally, we complete the parikrama by 9:00–10:00 a.m. After completing Parikrama, we will drive to Darchen, merge with other members of the tour who didn't go to Mount Kailash Parikrama, and then drive to Dongba. Overnight stay in the hotel (Xixa Panama, Mu being Chung or similar).

Drive to Hilsa by AC luxury vehicle and fly back to Simikot by helicopter, followed by Nepalgunj and Kathmandu by flight. Overnight stay at a 4-star hotel (Hotel Shankar, Hotel Royal Singi, or similar).

After that, feel free to proceed to your home destination with the blessings of Lord Shiva!!
