The drive is very long. The road condition is fair. Enjoy vast Tibetan plateau, landscape changes from sandy dunes to rocky vistas to savannah type. This is the most auspicious day for all of us, as some of us might have waited for long, maybe since many life times to get the first glimpse of holy Mt.Kailas and sacred Lake Mansarovar. We will perform half Mansarovar Parikrama by jeep or bus today. Overnight at guest house at Lake Mansarovar.

One can pick up a chit (draw) for porter and horse, the rule is you cannot choose your porter or horse. The first day of Parikrama from Tarboche is a gradual walk.

Huge Shivlingam view of Holy Mt.Kailash, north west face. Overnight in camp/Guest House.
Todays Parikrama leads to much higher side of holy path just beneath the Holy Mount Kailash. The walk will bring us to one of the highest point at Dolma La, 5,200m. before descending to the gradual field towards Zutulpuk for the overnight stay after 5-6hours walk. Overnight inZutulpuk.
"The morning can be spent exploring the caves and visiting the temples and shrine that has been built around Milarepa’s cave. One imagines Milarepa’s disciples meditating here. Many of the caves contain meditation platforms, self-contained by dry stonewalls which seperate them from their cooking and entrance areas. It is well worth the short climb up to these caves before beginning the final stage of the trek. The winding gradual tracks finally ends our holy pilgrimage walk 8km/4-5hrs. Once we reach at the trek end point near Darchen, our bus will be waiting to take the group back to Darchen. Darchen to Saga is 6hours drive."
