 Some bargaining happens here at almost all shops. It's a pleasant experience to roam around Purang, meet people, and know their culture.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, we will be proceeding towards Yamdwar and then trekking to Dirapuk, which is 10 km from Parikrama. Get blessed with the darshan of the North Face of Mount Kailash during the first day of Parikrama, which is considered to be the most auspicious.
It is suggested to do the outer Parikrama by trek only when Pony is available (on a paid basis), which will help to gain trek practice for the inner Parikrama trek.

On the second day, we will head for the trek to the Charansparsh of Mount Kailash, which takes approximately 3-5 hours and 5-7 km. Here we can have a closer look at the North Face of Mount Kailash. After our return, we will utilize the day for the rest, so we feel ready for the next 22-km trek.

Early in the morning, we will be starting the trek of 22 km from Dirapuk to Dolma La Pass and then reaching Zuthulpuk. It is considered the most difficult part of the Outer Parikrama Route since you’ll be going up to 18,600 feet above sea level.From Dolma La Pass, descend to Gauri Kund and further trek along the Karnali River to Zuthulpuk, where you’ll be staying overnight in a lodge or guest house.
The first 6-7 km (till Dolma La Pass at 5600 m) of the second day has a very steep climb and is the most difficult part of the yatra.All the yatris are advised to take a comfortable time to cover it and take rest wherever they feel a problem. After the first 6–7 km, the remaining 16 km are comparatively plain, downward, and comfortable. 
Important: On the 2nd day of Parikrama, you will pass through Shivasthal (a sacred place for Tibetans who believe that whatever you offer here, you will get it in heaven) and Gauri Kund. After DolmaPass,Pass, itlong, long, pletrekeside the river. You will see the elastase of Mount Kailash here.
