The hardest and most popular pilgrimage is the Kailash Inner Kora (parikrama). Youll need some mountaineering expertise and gear for the Kailash Inner Parikrama. We offer competent and knowledgeable mountaineering personnel. A 34 km foot trek is required for the inner parikrama, which also includes stops at Asthapath, Nandi Parvat, Atmalingam, Saptarishi Cave, and Rakshas Lingam. Rock, fissures, snow, and ice make up the entire landscape. There are only two modest monasteries along the Inner Kailash regions length. For the Kailash Inner Kora Trip, we will camp in a tent with space for sleeping, eating, and drinking along with other requirements.

The Inner Kora (parikrama) of Mount Kailash begins and concludes at Darchen. We will begin our journey on the first day from Derapuk, stopping at Kailash Charan Sparsa; in the days that follow, we will explore the Serlung monastery and gain a better perspective of Mount Kailash from here. Touch the Atmalingam, the Ice Lingam, and the Saptarishi Cave of the Inner Kora. We will return to Darchen by dark after completing the inner Kailash kora of Nandi Parvat by traversing the high Nandi La and Khandosalgam La (Pass) passes that separate Mount Kailash and Nandi Hill. After finishing your inner kora at Kailash, you can resume your journey to Juthulpuk from Derapuk, KuberKunda, and Mount Kailash Charan Sparsa.

Recommendations for Yatra

Trip insurance is important documents. Touch Kailash Travels and tours do not need your insurance policy for permit and visa confirmation. it is only for your secure and immergency. make sure your insurance cover travelling up to 5600 miter altitude and cover Emmergency rescue and Medical bills.  

Oxygen level is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered over the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. Some of symptoms indicate that the body mechanism is readjusting to new environments. The best idea is deliberately slow down all the activities and follows the following rules:

  • Rest.
  • Relax-do not exert, be excited.
  • Reduce talking.
  • Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
  • Keep your load light.
  • Walk for 15 minutes and rest for 5 minutes.
  • Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
  • Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
  • Observe silence with smile.
  • Never go too high and too fast.
  • Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
  • Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favourite music, bhajans, chanting etc.
  • Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
  • Keep your boots/Ked inside tent. Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
  • The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sight seeing together.
  • Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
  • On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable. During winter, heavy warm clothing is a must.

 

  • Kindly consult your doctor and get yourself examined for this yatra
  • As Mount Kailash and lake Manasarovar is situated at high altitudes please start exercises like walking, jogging, yoga and other breathing exercises in order to have a successful yatra at least from a month before.
