Zuthulphuk via Dolma La (Pass). Night halt at Zuthulphuk Or in between

buddhist devotees will sit at this place and visualise their death and act as
if they are dead. Dying at thsi place is considered as virtuous. A little further,
Kailash projects out in a sharp conical form behind the jutting peak of Manjughosha.

metres). Dolma La is the ******** of Tara - The Consort of Lord Shiva.

is 200 metres below. It is an Emerland Green Lake. It is considered to be the
Holy Lake and one of the highest lake in the world, that remains frozen most
of the times throughout the year. The water of this lake is considered to be
so holy, so pure that it can cure all the diseases.
