This is the day when you will be embarking on Mount Kailash Yatra. You are about to have your first Darshan of the Holiest of the Holy Mansarovar Lake. After breakfast the group will march to Chui Gompa (Altitude: 4560 m) by road, negotiating the undulating, picturesque terrain via Rakshas Taal. Once there, you can take a quick dip into the Holy Lake, do your puja. Havan is usually done on full moon nights and Comfortmytravel will pick this day to ensure that this would be a full moon date on the Hindu almanac. Depending on the availability of time, a visit to the Hot Spring would be arranged in the evening. You will be spending the night at a beautiful guest house near Lake Mansarovar.

At Tarboche, you will get to meet the Yak and the Yak men. This would be the starting point of your Parikrama and the first day of Kora. Here, you can hire a Yak and a porter to carry your luggage for you, if you like. During the trek to Dirapuk you will have your first darshan of Holy Mt. Kailash (North face). You will be spending the night at our beautifully-done camp at Dirapuk. A Satvik hot dinner would be served at the camp site to our guests.

Day 05: Trek to Zuthulphuk (5600 m; 22 kms; about 9-10 hrs.)
You can start your morning with a stunning view of the Mount Kailash. After breakfast, you would be asked to begin your trek uphill towards Zuthulphuk. As a forewarning, we must tell you that this trek is 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. From the Drolma La Pass, we will descend towards the gradual undulating field of Zuthulphuk. As you move down, on a bright 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 Zuthulphuk, you can relax, soak in the breath-taking view around you and spend the nippy night at our pleasant guesthouse/camp that would be kept warm for you.
Distance covered: 22 kms Altitude: 5600m Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 06: Trek from Zuthulphuk to Darchen (10 km; about 4 - 5 hrs.). Drive to Taklakot (110 km; about 4-5 hrs.)
After breakfast, at the guesthouse/camp, you would want to while away your morning time in solitude, exploring the caves and visiting the temple and shrines of Zuthulphuk, as per your wishes. An old, 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 profoundly inviting.
It is worthwhile climbing up to these caves before you end your final trek to the holy Kailash Mount. After a 10 km walk (4-5 hours) you will reach the final destination of your trek near Darchen. Here you will reunite with the pilgrims, who could not do the Parikarma. From here our vehicles will take you to the hotel in Taklakot for a restful, overnight stay.
