What happens if I cannot complete the Kora?

Kailash Parikrama, or the Kora walk, is always optional if you don’t want to make a complete circumambulation (Parikrama or Kora) of Mount Kailash. It is not mandatory. Many Kailash Yatri want to travel only up to Mansarovar or at the Darchen base of Kailash or to Diraphuk, the north face, on the 1st day of the Kailash Parikrama walk.
After the 1st day Kailash north face walk, our friendly team will assist with the safest practical arrangement based on your location and condition. If you want to come back from Diraphuk and stay in Darchen for an extra night, additional transportation and accommodation costs may apply.
Completing the Kora should never take priority over your health. You can also hire a private horse to ride or a porter to assist with the Kailash parikrama walk at an extra cost.
