Purang is a small & clean town with lots of shops on both sides of the road with necessary and essential items for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra like trekking sticks, water gallon for storing Holy Mansarovar Water, some packed juices & other necessary things so that you don't have to face any problem in the further journey. Don’t forget to bargain because bargaining happens in almost all the shops or stores.

Take a holy bath and perform Puja at divine Lake Mansarovar.  While coming to Mansarovar Lake you will see a glimpse of Kailash Parvat today.  It’s an overwhelming and unforgettable experience to see Divine Mount Kailash, just next to Holy Lake Mansarovar. Overnight stay at Guest House near Lake Mansarovar. If weather permits, You can visit Lake Mansarovar in the night or early morning (Brahm Muhurt) too to witness the divinity of the place.

After a short drive from Lake Mansarovar, you will reach Darchen which is the base for Mount Kailash Parikrama & Ashtapad darshan. We will be visiting Asthapad only if we get permission from Chinese authorities. Overnight stay in the Hotel. 

On the first day of Parikrama of Mount Kailash, wake up early in the morning and drive to Yamdwar. After reaching Yamdwar start your Parikrama which is a 10Km trek. Feel blessed and get enlightened with the darshan of North Face of Mount Kailash which is a unique experience and also considered to most auspicious. Those who are not doing Parikrama will travel from Yamdwar to Darchen for approx. 30 minutes and stay there in Guest House for 2 nights. You can see & pray to Mount Kailash from Darchen.

Important - Kailash Parikrama is optional. There are few who would be doing Parikrama by walk, few by horse & few old age people may not be doing Parikrama. Those who are not doing Parikrama will return from Yam Dwar to Guest House at Darchen. We will arrange meals & accommodation there. Holy Mount Kailash is easily visible from there & one can do puja from there too. People staying at Darchen will join other group members in 1st half once they complete 3rd day of Parikrama.

Begin your second day of Parikrama from Dirapuk to Dolma La Pass and then to Zuthulpuk early in the morning with a covering distance of 22Km trek. Keep in mind this is the most difficult part of the journey throughout the Kailash Yatra as you’ll be trekking up at a height of 18,600ft above sea level. From Dolma, LaPass descends to Gauri Kund and further treks along with the river to Zuthulpuk. Overnight stay – Lodge / Guest House. Also on the 2nd day, the first 6-7Km has a very steep climb & the most difficult part of Yatra (till Dolma La Pass at 5600m). Yatris are advised to take a comfortable time to cover it & take rest wherever you feel a problem. After 1st 6-7 KM, the remaining 16 KMs are comparatively plain / downwards & comfortable. 

Important: While performing Parikrama on day 2 you will pass through Shivasthal (A sacred place for Tibetans & believe that whatever you offer here, get it in Heaven) & Gauri Kund.  After Dolma La Pass it’s a long pleasant trekking way beside the river. You will see the East face of Mount Kailash here.

On the third and last day of Parikrama, Mount Kailash Parikrama trek is about 8 km and takes almost 3 Hrs to complete. Generally, we complete the Parikrama by 9:00-10:00 am. After completing Parikrama we will drive to Darchen and merge with other members of the tour who didn't go for Mount Kailash Parikrama and then drive to Dongba.
