Early in the morning, we will visit Lake Mansarovar for a peaceful walk and to enjoy the stunning sunrise over the lake.

While taking a holy bath in the lake was traditionally common, direct bathing in the lake is now prohibited to protect its sacred waters. Instead, you can collect water from the lake and use it for your holy bath rituals on the shore.

After this, we head for breakfast at the hotel and prepare to leave to visit Chiu Gompa (Monastery). Situated near the lake, this Buddhist monastery is perched on a rocky hill and holds great spiritual significance.

Tarboche is also home to the Yam Dwar temple, a significant site for Hindu pilgrims. The prayer flags above, which indicate the location of this little temple, serve as a portal for many people to begin their religious journey.

According to mythology, Buddha appeared here with 500 students to impart extraordinary teachings that still inspire spiritual seekers today.

As we moved from the temple, the trail offered spectacular views of the west face of Mount Kailash. Every step we took reflected the spiritual significance of this treasured peak.

Today’s journey will be a tough but exciting part of our Kailash Kora journey as we trekked from Diraphuk to Zuthulpuk. The climb to Dolma-La Pass, which is 5,660 meters (18,600 feet) high, is the most challenging and rewarding part of this Kailash Mansarovar tour with Everest base camp.

We will prepare early in the morning for the trek, and after having breakfast in the guest house, we will walk through the rocky paths and steep slopes that make each step feel like a victory.

As we climbed higher, the altitude would test us, but the stunning views kept us motivated. We suggest you keep your body hydrated all the time to avoid altitude sickness.

When you reach Dolma-La Pass, you will be treated to an amazing view of the back of Mount Kailash, standing proudly against the blue sky.

The area was filled with colourful prayer flags, each one carrying the hopes and prayers of countless pilgrims. It was a beautiful and spiritual moment as the flags waved in the wind.

Then, you will pause GauriKund, the Pool of Great Compassion, which is sacred to Hindus as the resting place of Goddess Parvati. The peaceful surroundings gave us a chance to reflect and connect with nature.

After enjoying the beauty of Dolma-La, we started our descent to Zuthulpuk. Now, you will have to walk on a steep and rocky trail, but you will feel a sense of joy with each step, proud of your achievement.

Finally, as you reach Zuthulphuk, you will feel a deep respect as you approach the temple and shrine near Milarepa’s cave. Milarepa, one of Tibet’s most admired saints, is known for his journey from a troubled past to enlightenment.

• Walk carefully at the Dolma La Pass as it can be icy and slippery.
• Use trekking poles and good boots for the steep ascent/descent.
• Avoid staying too long at the pass due to thin air.
