OVERVIEW :
Kailash Inner Kora Tour includes Nandi Inner Kora, Inner excursion tour, Charan Sparsh (5980m) or Touch Kailash tour, Shivasthali Excursion tour, Khandosalgam La pass Inner Kailash Kora, and other important spiritual sites. The Nandi Inner Kora provides the spiritual experience of Astaparbat (Asthapath 4765m), Nandi parvat, Kailashi Gange, KuberKunda, Asta matrikagan Parbat, Dakshinamurti Shivalaya, Saptarishi caves and athmalingam. The high pass between Holy Mt. Kailash & Nandi parvat needs some experience of high altitude trekking. For all Buddhist pilgrims Kailash Inner Kora tour covers the place for Guru Rinpoche (Guru Padmasambhava) & Milarepa.
Another part of Kailash’s inner Kora starts from Dirapuk to Khande Sanglung through Shivasthali, providing the experience of Shivasthali decorated by the ice walls. On the way, we will see the kuber kund & kuber Parbat. Before this inner Kora, we can visit the north face of Kailash as an excursion from Dirapuk for the “Charan Sparsh” Touch Kailash tour at the North Base of Holy Mt. Kailash.
Nandi Inner Kora/ Nandi Inner Parikrama:
The inner Kailash Parikrama/ Kora tour has two days of focus on the inner Kailash excursion and Nandi Kora 30 km. The timing of the start of parikrama /kora depends on the decision of PSP at Darchen; if they permit us to camp above Darchen, we can camp at Serlung Gompa for the first night and make Nandi Inner Parikrama / Kora, but if they do not permit us for the camp, we need to start Nandi inner Kora at early morning from darchen which takes around 16 hours.
This day is one of the most spiritual days for all pilgrims and the most challenging day on this spiritual journey. Suppose we complete this Kora on the day first. In that case, we can make another special program, “viewing Kailash as a form of Shiva Lingam” or the bird’s eye view of Kailash parvat above the Yamdrok Monastery, which is an extraordinary spiritual experience of Mt. Kailash and get a chance of self-meditation on top of the hill above Gyanthok hill just in front of Mt. Kailash and Nandi.
Nandi Inner Kora/ Parikrama has Two Technical parts where we need to use Climbing equipment. One part is to climb up to Saptarishi Cave and the other to Nandi La Pass. After this, it is steep down to the river of West of Nandi, which meets with another stream from Kailash at Serlung Gompa.
Kailash Inner Kora / Kailash Inner Parikrama:
Kailash Inner Kora Tour/ Kailash Inner Parikrama starts from Dirapuk and takes around 9 Hours after crossing Khandosalgam La is 25 KM till Juthulpuk. The route for this inner Kora has only one technical part of climbing, so we need to use climbing equipment, but it is not as technical as Nandi Inner Kora. After Khandosalgam La, the way is easy till Juthulpuk. If someone from the group wants to make Outer Kora, they can proceed from DOLMA LA and Gauri Kund on the same day and meet with the group at Juthulpuk. Before this Inner Kailash Kora, we experience a spiritual “Charan Sparsh” or Touch Kailash tour from Dirapuk for one day.
