Kailash Kora 7.

You would think that if I had already done the 6th ascent, the 7th ascent would be easy... but that's not true. This 7th ascent was the hardest. I wasn't short of breath but somehow I had a hard time moving... I've never seen so many pilgrims before, there were a lot of Tibetans on the way around the mountain, few Chinese, Indians...

I left Darchen at 6 am and this was probably the hardest start. My mountain guide was in the hospital on an IV due to a severe cold... I could hear a rattling sound coming from my lungs when I was breathing... but that's a good thing because I've had a dry cough and pressure...

I finished the 5th cycle... I have now walked 285 km around Kailash. On this 5th cycle, the demons were clearly with me.

We met at 5 am in the hotel lobby. Ms Wang also decided to come with us. Kelsang, my mountain guide, Ms Wang and myself. Walking out of Darchen, there is a checkpoint on the edge of the town. Kelsang is required to pack oxygen, the Tibetan official asked me worriedly if everything was okay with me...
