06 Tarboche Pole With Mount Kailash Behind On Mount Kailash Outer Kora  [6 of 72]


The prayer-flag festooned Tarboche (4750m, 08:27) Pole is replaced each year at the major festival of Saga Dawa, marking the enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha. If the pole stands absolutely vertical all is well, but if it leans towards Kailash things are not good, if it leans away, things are even worse. Although we started our trek from Darchen, you can drive here too.
