Trekking on foot - The distance from Darchen to Dirapuk is about 18 kms out of which 06 kms is covered by bus while travelling from Darchen to Tarboche. From here to Dirapuk the trek is about 12 kms and is mostly flat with some slight ups and down.

Travelers should not forget to carry their snacks packet (fruit, juice, energy bar, biscuit etc.) for lunch and hot drinkable water from kitchen before starting the trek.

Dirapuk is one of the best and closest points from where we can see North Face of Mt. Kailash standing high in front of us.

Here about 3 kms trek is steep up and steep down which in the end leads to the beautiful sight of Gauri Kund (Parvati Kund). The trek up and down is covered with rocks and loose stones and can be even slippery, making it even more difficult for the trekkers. We should cross the high pass as early as possible in pleasant weather in day time before strong wind starts in evening time. After crossing Gauri Kund the trek is gradual.
