What to Focus On

  • The journey is towards Mount Kailash for the kora.
  • The route passes through the Changtang and several high mountain passes.
  • The landscape includes plains, hills, icy rivers, snow, salt flats, and barren towns.
  • Lake Manasarovar is one of the most sacred places in the region.
  • Only the Sutlej actually flows from the lake.
  • The Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra rise near Mount Kailash, not from the lake itself.
  • High altitude causes headache, breathing trouble, and disturbed sleep.
  • Snow blockage creates danger because the surface is icy and the vehicle may slip.
  • The narrator’s headache becomes severe above 5,400 metres.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Lake Manasarovar is the source of all four great rivers named in the chapter.

Ekai Kawaguchi and Sven Hedin are the same traveller or their reactions happened in the wrong order.

Tsetan calls the narrator a drokba because the narrator really is a Tibetan nomad.
