55 Emerald Gaurikund Lake Just After the Dolma La On Mount Kailash Outer Kora  [55 of 72]


Just after the Dolma La, the trail descends steeply to the emerald lake called Gaurikund by the Hindus. Hindus are supposed to take a ritual bath here, a baptism into their new life. The Tibetans call it Tukji Chenpo Tso, the lake of compassion.
