Early in the morning, we start our three-day circumnavigation of the holy mountain. We will have to trek approximately 52 kilometers and more than 1'000 meters in altitude on the so-called Kora. Our luggage will be transported by yaks. The first day's hike will be rather moderate without steep ascents. En route we will visit several holy sites. Overnight in Drirapuk Monastery offering a breath-taking view on the north face of Mount Kailash.
