Drolma La - 5636m
Drolma La is the high pass on the Kailash Kora that represents the most challenging and rewarding point of the circuit. The crossing over this pass represents a transition from the former life to a new one with all of the previous sins forgiven by the compassionate Goddess of Mercy, Drolma. Every stone around the pass is considered to be permeated with the three qualities of the Buddha: mind, speech, and body. They also represent the Three Jewels: Buddha, dharma, and sangha. In the middle of the pass is a large, cubic rock called Phawang Mebar, upon which are a pyramid of stones to support a flagpole.
My picture is taken in May 2004 with a NIKON CoolPix 5000.

auf deinem Bild sieht man auch ganz deutlich, daß die Tibeter auch Kleidungsstücke dort ablegen. Schon auf dem Weg hoch zum Pass ist mir das aufgefallen. Hier sind die Farben schon von der starken Sonneneinstrahlung und dem Wetter ausgebleicht.§:-)
