Mt. Kailash inner kora or parikrama starts and ends at Darchen. The inner parikrama is considered to be the most popular yet very challenging that requires some mountaineering knowledge and equipment. This journey involves walking a distance of about 34km/21mi starting the hike from Dirapuk visiting Kailash Charan Sparsa, exploring the Serlung monastery and getting a closer view of Mt. Kailash from here. The Kailash inner parikrama is considered more difficult than the outer parikrama as you need to cross a high pass and walk for more than 10 hours on high altitude area. The journey includes exploration of the Saptarishi caves, Nandi Parbat, Asthapada, Atmalingam, and Kuber Kunda.
