Day 8Second Day Parikrama of Mount KailashWake up early morning on your second day of Kailash Parvat parikrama and start your trek of 22km from Dirapuk to Dolma La Pass and then to Zuthulpuk. It is said and also considered to be the most difficult part of the journey throughout the Kailash Parvat Indiano Tourism as you will be trekking up to 18,600ft height above sea level. From Doma, La Pass descends to Gauri Kund and further treks along with the river to Zuthulpuk.
Overnight stay – Lodge / Guest House.
On the 2nd day of your Mount Kailash Parikrama, the first 6-7 Km (till Dolma La Pass at 5600 m) has a very steep climb and is also considered the most difficult part of Indiano Tourism. All the yatris who are doing Parikrama of Kailash Parvat are advised to take a comfortable time to cover it & take rest whenever and wherever you feel any kind of problem. After 1st 6-7 KM, the remaining 16 KMs are comparatively plain, downwards, and comfortable.
Important: While performing Parikrama (Day 2) you will pass through Shivasthal (A sacred place for Tibetans & believe that whatever you offer here, get it in Heaven) & Gauri Kund.
