Mount Kailash Trek – Route & Gear Notes
- Dato:
- 01.08.2026
● Day 1: Darchen to Dirapuk (about 20 km) – The trail follows the Lha Chu Valley with steady, gradual ascent. North face views of Kailash appear after a few hours, and Dirapuk Monastery offers basic guesthouses for the night. ● Day 2: Dirapuk to Zutulpuk via Dolma La Pass (around 18 km) – The hardest day. Dolma La at 5,630 m is often cold and windy, but the descent to Gauri Kund lake and the valley beyond is breathtaking. ● Day 3: Zutulpuk to Darchen (about 14 km) – An easier walk along river gorges completes the circuit. Altitude is the real challenge rather than distance. Walking slowly, drinking constantly, and adding acclimatization days in Lhasa or western Tibet are essential for safety. Gear Notes Conditions around Kailash change quickly, even in summer. A simple but reliable kit >>>
Cho Oyu Mountain
- Dato:
- 05.02.2026
Cho Oyu, the world’s sixth-highest peak at 8,201 meters, lies on the border of Tibet, China, and Nepal, about 28 km from Mount Everest. Its Tibetan name, “Turquoise Goddess,” comes from the icy blue glow of its summit under certain light. Compared with Everest, Cho Oyu features more open terrain and a stable northwest ridge, making it a popular first 8,000-meter peak for climbers seeking both challenge and accessibility. From the Tibetan side, vehicles can reach the base camp directly. Along the way, distant views of the continuous snow ridgelines of the Gyachung Kang range unfold, often glowing with soft golden tones in the early morning light. As the route gradually enters the Cho Oyu region, the landscape becomes increasingly varied, with high-altitude scenery adding depth to the journey. >>>
