And a completely separate place in the program of the tour to Tibet is occupied by kora, that is, a pilgrimage, a ritual walk around a Buddhist shrine. In this case, Mount Kailash. It will last 3 days, and during this time you will pass through the sacred gates, see the Chuku monastery and the Dirapuk temple, conquer the Drolma-La pass, and find yourself in front of the city of Saga.

Features of the nature and climate of the region

When preparing for a tour to Tibet, many travelers think that they are going to a mountainous country, and the average altitude of its territories (above sea level) is indeed 4000 m. But there are also plenty of lakes there, and Tsonag or Manasarovar occupy quite a large area. And rivers! The well-known Indus, Yangtze and Mekong also originate there. So it’s not just rocks – you will also encounter islands of green vegetation along the way.

Please note that during the entire tour of Tibet you will have to put up with its specific climate. It is distinctly mountainous, that is, with a serious daily temperature difference. And you need to be prepared for the fact that there will be a lot of sunlight, always and everywhere, not only when climbing the mountains, but also in the valleys.

But all the weather difficulties and surprises are more than compensated by the views that open up during the kora, the central event of the tour in Tibet. Even a distant and fleeting glance at the ancient Buddhist monasteries is priceless, and the emotions from meeting them up close cannot be described in words. Karma is cleansed by just contemplating this majestic and wise beauty.
