The route of day 2 in a general Kailash kora is from Dirapuk Monastery to Dzultripuk Monastery. However, this time, I would like to show you a special day trek to the glacier of Mount Kailash on my second-day trek of Mount Kailash.

Due to the unique religious significance, Mount Kailash is unclimbable. It is a rare chance to climb up to the glacier of Mount Kailash at 5,700 meters above sea level. And this is the closest way we could see the peak of Mount Kailash.

Let’s follow our video to take the ultimate journey to the center of the world.

I started my trek at 10 a.m. from the Dirapuk Monastery Guesthouse at 5,200 meters above sea level. Finally, I arrived at the flat part of the glacier of Mount Kailash at 5,658 meters after four and a half hours of trekking.

On the way, I saw a small stream from Mt.Kailash, which is actually the source of many big and long rivers in the world, such as the Yarlung Zangbo River, the Ganges River, and the Indus River.

I saw two groups of wild Tibetan Antelopes at 5,400 meters running freely in Mount Kailash as if they were elves of the holy mountain.

Trekking above 5,400 meters above sea level became more and more difficult. Even as a Tibetan, I had to walk for two minutes and stop for a one-minute break. My heart was beating too fast and the oxygen at such altitude was too thin.

Once I reached the flat part of the glacier, the closest place one could get to the top of Mount Kailash, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

I tasted Mount Kailash. I touched Mount Kailash. I Saw Mount Kailash.

After the holy Kailash trek, I visited the Dirapuk Monastery, where you can mainly visit the original meditation cave of the great Master Milarepa. At present, there are only 6 monks taking care of this holy monastery, namely Monk Tashi and his five students.

Enjoying the northern face of the peak of Mount Kailash from Dirapuk Monastery, having some simple snacks offered by the hospitable monks…this could be a lifetime experience of your journey to Mount Kailash.

At the end of today’s sharing, I still want to remind you of a few things below:
1. If you want to do this glacier trek, you need 4 days in total, while an ordinary Kailash kora only takes 3 days.
2. Do not start your trek to the glacier before 10 a.m. for it’s too cold in the morning.
3. Please walk slowly in the mountain area for it’s too high. Even Tibetans take a long breath there.
4. Don’t forget, safety first!

What is the daily life of a Tibetan monk? This is one of the most intriguing aspects when we talk about Tibetan plateau.

In this video, let’s have a glimpse of how a monk’s daily life is like in Tibet, which is shown as we followed a head monk, who lives in the Jhoden monastery, about three hours driving east of Lhasa.

He leads a fairly peaceful and simple life. His daily schedule consists of morning Buddha offering, meditation, praying for the peace and harvest of the villages around his monastery and night chanting.

You may find they are living a simple and happy life, but it’s not easy. They need keep pursuing their Buddhist study, and praying for the blessings of Goddess of Mercy.

From the early morning to the late night, see how he will enjoy the day. We hope you will enjoy the video and let us know what you think below.

The trek from Dirapuk Monastery to Dzutulpuk Monastery is the most difficult part of a 3-day Kailash Kora. During the 12 kilometers’ day trek, you need to cross the Dromala Pass at 5,630 meters above sea level.

In Tibet, Dromala Pass means the Sin Pass. In an old saying, if a person has lots of sins, he/she could not pass through the Dromala Pass easily. The God of Kailash will decide who stays and who can go.

It was a tough day to cross the Dromala Pass. I started my journey at 7 a.m. and reached the top Dromala Pass at 11:30 a.m. after trekking 6 kilometers from Dirapuk Monastery guesthouse. It took another 1.5 hours to go down the pass. When I finally arrived at Dzutulpuk Monastery, it was already 6 p.m.

Here are some tips for the trekking cross Dromala Pass:
1. Do start your trek as early as possible. In my case, as a healthy Tibetan, I spent 11 hours to complete the 12 kilometers.
2. Please bring a flashlight. Because you would depart early in the morning and it is not yet light, you need a flashlight.
3. Please wear comfortable trekking shoes and prepare trekking poles. The road across Dromala Pass is very steep.
4. Don’t worry too much. There are three tea houses along the way, one is before you cross the pass and the other two are after your cross the pass. At the tea house, you can get simple food supplement, and buy small oxygen bottles if you need.
5. If you are really not feeling well enough to go over the pass, you can either rest in the first teahouse or take a car directly back to Darchen.

For ordinary tourists, the trek is a challenge to themselves, while for Tibetan pilgrims, the Mount Kailash kora is a pursuit of devout faith.

Along the way, I met a woman from eastern Tibet who came with her baby to make the kora, the pilgrims prostrating even on the steep trail, and a devotee from the high mountain area completed the kora in one day, who actually had already made 5 circles.

Along the way, you can see five-colored prayer flags waving in the wind and rocks with pictures on them, where Tibetans believe that posting the pictures of their deceased relatives will bless their souls to heaven. When you are tired, someone will cheer you up and even offer you snacks to replenish your energy.

This is the kora around Mount Kailash, the hardest, but the holist experience of Tibet.
