Other than just Visting Nepal, one could feel dharchula in several other ways like a must visit to "RUNG" museum or tasting delicacies of dumplings. If you know how to connect to the vibration of places then you surely will touch the strings of historical indo -tibet trade and the great migration caravan could be felt in the eyes of every indigenous rung individual, the wrinkles on their brow and the primordial smile is enough to take you on the adventurous journey of silk route.

Is Kailash Mansarovar and Adi Kailash same or different destination?

A: Adi Kailash and Kailash Mansarovar is different destination but both are Panch Kailash. Adi Kailash is in Indian Himalayas and Kailash Mansarovar is in Tiebet. Both are holy mountains.

What is AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness)?

A: AMS is result of sudden exposure to reduced air pressure and lower oxygen level at high altitude. General symptoms are Headache, Fatigue, Nausea, and Loss of appetite, sleeplessness, heavy breathing. Descending down and inhaling oxygen can cure it faster. That is why we recommend to spend at least two days in Leh, so that you get some time to acclimatize.
