Mt.Kailash Kora is 52km long, usually takes three days to complete. Altitude ranges from 4675m at Darchen, the starting point to 5630m at Drolma-La, the highest point of the kora. The kora is made in a clockwise direction by Hindus and Buddhists but counterclockwise by followers of the Jain and Bön religions.
Besides, if you start your Mt.Kailash tours from Lhasa, you can visit Everest Base Camp on the way to Kailash; or extend your tours to mysterious ruins of the ancient Guge Kingdom. With a rough road, long journey, simple accommodations, and meals, Mount Kailash tour is a real challenge for most adventures! It wonderfully integrates the spiritual, cultural, and physical dimensions of any trip to Tibet. Being able to meet pilgrims from across Tibet and other countries is one of the many alluring factors of this trek.
