not going to be an easy one, so please prepare yourself both physically and mentally. But if you bear
in mind that this is a pilgrimage of a lifetime, you can successfully undertake it. Trekking under the
Holy Mount Kailash, you will reach the Drolma La pass (5800 m), which is the highest point of the trek
to Mount Kailash. This trek is going to be a little rocky and steep, so you must be in a fit condition.

move down, on a clear morning, you will be blessed with the Darshan of Gauri Kunda. The walk
becomes pleasant and relaxing from the valley below, with gentle slopes over the grassy fields. At

married couple supervises the temple here, which houses about half a dozen Tibetan devotees and
helpers who maintain the building in a Spartan condition. You will see meditation platforms in the cave
that are deeply inviting.
It is worthwhile climbing up to these caves before you end your final trek to the holy Kailash Mount.

you will re-unit with the pilgrims, who could not do the Parikrama. This would be the last leg of your
trek that can easily be completed in three to four hours, so you can wake up at your normal time
