Mount Kailash Outer Kora and Inner Kora Map
The sacred Mount Kailash, located in the remote reaches of Tibet, is surrounded by two significant pilgrimage routes: the Outer Kora and the Inner Kora. These routes hold deep spiritual importance in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon traditions.
The Outer Kora, approximately 52 kilometers long, is the main route taken by most pilgrims. It typically takes 2–3 days to complete and involves crossing the high-altitude Drolma La Pass (5,630 meters). This kora passes by important landmarks like the Tarboche flagpole, Dirapuk Monastery, and Zutulpuk Monastery, offering awe-inspiring views of Mount Kailash from different angles.
