Jain religion followers consider Ashtapad as their ‘Maha Tirth’ meaning the holiest pilgrimage. The name Ashtapad translates into eight steps to go up the mountain. Ashtapad is located about 5 km up further from Darchen. Jain considers it as a sacred spot where their first saint 'Shri Adinath Bhagwan', the first of 24 Tirthankars, attained salvation or Mokshya. After his salvation his son king Bharat is said to have built a palace named ‘Sinh-Nishadha’, which is made of real gemstones with 24 idols of Jain Tirthankars in the memory of his father.

Ashtapad is situated near Mt. Kailash (6784m) in Tibet province of China. This tour allows you to make a pilgrimage of both Ashtapad and Kailash. One has to drive past Darchen up till Serlung Monastery and thereafter walk upward for 10 minutes to reach Ashtapad.

Health Precaution

Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered in the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. The best idea is to deliberately slow down all the activities and have the following suggestions in mind:

  • Relax-do not exert, be excited, make rest if needed
  • Reduce talk time with each other during the journey
  • Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
  • Keep your load light.
  • Walk for 30 minutes and rest for 5 minutes
  • Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
  • Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
  • Observe silence with smile.
  • Never go too high and too fast.
  • Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
  • Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favorite music, Bhajans, chanting etc.
  • Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
  • Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
  • The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sightseeing together.
  • Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
  • On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable.
