Rise early today to witness the breathtaking golden hues of Mount Kailash. Observe how this sacred mountain transforms its colors as the first rays of sunlight illuminate its surface. After enjoying the view, embark on your trek towards Zuthulphuk Gompa, passing through Dolma La Pass at an elevation of 18,600 feet. From Dolma La, you will have a stunning view of Gauri Kund Lake. Take a moment to appreciate the scenery before continuing your journey. After trekking for several kilometers, we will stop for the night at a modest mud house. The accommodation consists of a simple hall with a few beds and blankets. While the cleanliness may not be ideal, we will rest here to prepare for our visit to Kuber Kund Lake the next morning before proceeding to Suthulpukh.

Meals included: Vegetarian Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Maximum Elevation: 5,810 meters
Distance Covered: 16 kilometers of challenging trekking
Accommodation Style: Tea house stay.

In the morning, we will embark on the trek to Kuber Kund, which is part of the Mount Kailash Inner Kora. While Kuber Kund can also be reached via the Khande Sanglam route, opting for that path would mean missing out on the Dolma La trek and the Gauri Kund darshan. Therefore, we have chosen the outer kora route to ensure we visit both Dolma La Pass and Gauri Kund. Recent reports from trekkers indicate that the Khande Sanglam route has become increasingly risky and challenging due to falling rocks. To prioritize safety and avoid potential accidents, we have decided to take the Dolma La Pass along the Mount Kailash outer kora route.

From your tea house, you will begin the trek to Kuber Kund in the morning, followed by a descent towards Darchen. After walking a few kilometers towards Darchen, vehicles will be available to transport the group to Darchen.

Meals included: Vegetarian Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
