Before preparing to turn the mountain, first of all, we must have a certain understanding of Kailash, and have a certain understanding of why we turn the mountain, and the students who make up the class please refer to the previous article of the editor for three minutes to take you to understand the mountain.
Before turning the mountain, we must first learn a noun -
岗仁波齐。 In Tibetan it means "mountain of the gods", in Indian Sanskrit it means "shiva's paradise" (Shiva is the main god of Hinduism), and the indigenous tibetan religion, Yongzhongbonism, originated from this.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the journey to the mountain is generally trekking, or prostrating a circle around the sacred mountain, usually lasting 1-3 days.
For us, going to Kailash can be a physical and psychological challenge. If you can finally harvest inner peace, this soul journey is certainly worth it. </h1>
Kailash
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > important notice before turning the mountain</h1>
Kailash, the average altitude of the local area is 3900 meters, but if you want to turn the mountain of Kailash, you need to conquer the Dolmala Pass, the highest of which is 5630 meters above sea level. This means that ordinary people carry out high-intensity actions at high altitudes, so if you have a friend with strong altitude sickness in Lhasa, it is best not to engage in this dangerous sport.
The Dormala Pass overlooks the sacred mountain
If you have a strong altitude sickness on the way to the mountain, it is also recommended to interrupt the trip to the mountain and think about your body. (Every year, there will be people who bury themselves here because of altitude sickness, so they can do what they can, no need to be strong, feel that when they reach the limit, take a proper rest or end the mountain turn early, the degree of this limit can only be grasped by everyone themselves).
Of course, gao is not a flood beast, and for most people, the activity of Kailash turning mountains can still be completed.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > strategy is as follows</h1>
The best month to turn the mountain: August to September, October is also OK, but it is already a little cold.
In winter, the mountain cannot be turned, and heavy snow will close the mountain.
Prepare for traffic before turning on mountain mode
Kailash is located in the town of Tachin (also known as Tarchin, hereinafter collectively referred to as Tachin) in Baga Township, Pulan County, Ali Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region, and it is only when tachin arrives at the starting point of the mountain that it is the starting point of the journey to turn the mountain.
So how do you turn on the mountain turn mode? The following points of transportation are for reference.
< H1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > aircraft</h1>
Fly from Lhasa Gonggar Airport to Ali Kunsha Airport. The flight from Lhasa to Ali is only one flight a day, departing at 7:00 a.m. and arriving at 9:00 a.m., with a ticket price of about 2,800 (including fuel insurance, etc., which is the average price, which fluctuates up and down with the seasonal price).
Ali Kunsha Airport is located in Kunsha Township, Shiquanhe Town, Gar County, Ali District, about 200 kilometers away from Taqin Town, Pulan County, and can be reached by chartered bus.

The most worry-free rental and carpooling
Renting a car, chartering a car, and carpooling in Lhasa to Kailash is actually the most worry-free. After all, both planes and buses need to be transferred.
Car rental: a deposit ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars is required,
However, the total cost of renting a car is cheaper than that of a driver, which is suitable for friends who are familiar with the route (it is not recommended that friends who are not familiar with the route rent a car in this way, and this deposit will not be refunded until one month after returning, and if there is a violation and other phenomena, fines and repair costs need to be deducted);
Chartered car: with a driver, no deposit required, but it will be higher than the daily cost of renting a car only. But this has the advantage that the driver can also act as a half-tour guide, so as not to have a situation of ignorance on the way;
Carpooling: Carpooling is not enough, or the budget is limited, you can choose carpooling, the price is the most cost-effective.

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > route to the inner circle of the mountain</h1>
At present, few people are competent for the internal transfer route, because there is a certain danger, and non-outdoor sports players should consider it as appropriate. The route of the outer circle to the mountain on the 1-3 days just now does not involve the SeronJi and Jiangzha Temples marked on the map. If you believe in your physical strength and want to further challenge, you can try the inner circle to turn the mountain. If you are exhausted in the middle of the way, you can take the car to go forward.
1) Turn inside for one day
The inner transfer route runs up the river valley on the north side of Ta Chin to Gangzha Temple.
From Jiangzha Temple, you can turn over the hillside on the west side to reach SerryuJi Temple.
From Seron Monastery, bypass Mt. Ingadha, you will reach the Thirteen Golden Pagodas of the Zhigong Kagyu School at the foot of Mount Kailash. However, for people with average physical strength, it is enough to go under the cliff, which is also the place where ordinary Tibetan women worship the mountain. On the top of the cliff, there is a rope made by the believers using Hada to connect, which can be climbed up along hada without slipping under the foot and falling down. But rock climbing is an extremely physically demanding sport here, so choose carefully.
Returning again, that is, the line that has completed the internal rotation.

Very important considerations on the way to the mountains</h1>
Outer Circle Route Considerations
1. If you turn the mountain, try to pack lightly.
Porter price: 630RMB/circle, hired groom is 1710RMB/lap, only responsible for uphill road, details can be asked at the visitor center.
2. It is recommended that the equipment be complete:
Clothing: long sleeves + jacket + storm jacket; autumn pants / quick-drying pants + storm pants (colder in the morning and one night).
Energy replenishment: High-calorie and light foods, there are also supply points on the way to the mountains.
Trekking preparation: hiking boots + trekking poles + sleeping bag (optional, if you go to the tent settlement, it is recommended to use your own sleeping bag, some accommodation conditions are very poor and dirty)
Sun protection preparation: no sunscreen is easy to peel Oh, sunscreen SPF is higher the better, Tibet's ultraviolet rays are stronger than many beach ultraviolet rays, after all, it is the third pole!
Most importantly, no matter how many days of travel, it is best to prepare insoles or aunt towels in the shoes, especially for the tough guys who are ready to climb in a day.

Inner circle route precautions basic model
1. Beware of falling rocks:
There is a saying among the local mountain turners that if you do not turn the outer circle 13 times to turn the inner circle, you will be killed by stones on the mountain. In fact, because there are many rocks in the inner circle, there is a possibility that there will be rubble falling. Therefore, to go to the inner circle to turn the mountain, you must have super psychological quality and excellent physical strength.
2. Do not go alone:
It is best to follow the Tibetan believers to the inner circle, because there is almost no obvious way in the inner circle, and if there is no one together, it is easy to get lost.
3. Do not feed wild animals:
If you are lucky, you will encounter a marmot, also known as the Himalayan groundhog, which is one of the local cute creatures. But in order not to let wild animals become dependent on human feeding behavior, please do not feed.

Inner Circle Notes Ultimate Edition</h1>
1, when you are about to nail the nail without moving, remember to take the big road on the left to go down the mountain, don't copy the path down the mountain! Very difficult to walk, and the stones are loose and dangerous!
2. When the section from Jerip Monastery to Dormala Pass is frequently rocked, pay attention to the danger! If it rains and snows, bring a warm baby just in case you need it, a plastic raincoat can also be prepared, and an umbrella is useless.
3. If it is a large army marching, it is recommended to prepare a walkie-talkie. Because the signal in the mountains is not good, if the difference in physical strength causes the gap to widen, there may be a situation of missing contact.
