Prayang to Manasarovar (4560m) Beyond Prayang, there are several river crossings to negotiate before we see our first view of Mt. Kailash from Horr Chu Pass. We then arrive at the beautiful Lake Manasarovar , just 30km south of Mt Kailash. It is separated from another lake, Rakshas Tal, by a narrow strip of land and the two lakes are linked by a small channel. On the rare occasions when water flows in this channel, it is said to be a good sign for the Tibetan people.

Manasarovar Today will be spent at the northern area of Lake Manasarovar , exploring this fascinating place. We will do a parikrama of lake Manasarovar by Land Cruiser and visit the picturesque Chho-kue Monastery on the north-west shore of the lake, with the imposing view of Mt Kailash as the backcloth. There will be puja, meditation and spiritual dips into the lake for pilgrims.

Darchen to Dira-Puk (4800m)We start our Kora Parikrama today and walk up the Lha Chu Valley through beautiful green meadows and streams with Mt Kailash towering above us. We follow the river which enters a narrow canyon with high, steep cliffs and spectacular waterfalls. Continuing up the valley, the north face of Kailash comes into view before we reach the 13th century monastery at Dira-puk.

Dira-Puk to Zutul-Puk (4790m) We now leave the Lha Chu Valley and enter the Drolma Chu Valley, heading up towards a high pass, the Drolma La (5630m). It's a tough climb to the summit which is festooned with prayer flags but from there it is all downhill or flat to Zutul-puk, with views of one of the highest lakes in the world, Thukpe Dzingbu Lake, known as the Lake of Compassion. As well as the monastery at Zutul-puk, there are several meditation caves and another cave containing an image of Milarepa.

Zutul-Puk to Darchen and to Manasarovar On the final day of the kora we cross several Streams, and follow an impressive gorge. Along the way we are once again treated to magnificent views of Kailash. We then enter the Bharka plain and it's about an hour's walk through this desert-like landscape to Darchen. We then drive to Lake Manasarovar.
