The mountains loomed on both sides, silent, majestic, and in some places wind had carved many rock like fortresses on the mountain side. In some places, where it was not very easy to get to, some monastries also were seen. In some places there were ruins of buildings too. The scene was remote, no birds or other noises, and even with about 50/60 yathries moving about there was silence, deep silence only. The wind was chilling and very strong too. We had to ford a big stream( sindhu) with full of ice to reach Derapuk, but nearly there the sight took my breath away, literally. There was the northern face of Kailas, So majestic, and so different from the eastern face one first sights. In my feelings, while the eastern face was comforting, charming, here at northern face it was some what awe inspiring. The northern was so near too, a climb of about 2000mtr will get very near it, and some of our group ventured out there. I too wanted to go, but the still weak limbs, and short breath made me afraid. I did not wanted to be a burden on others by being sick. So I just stood there, and tried to take some photos on my little camera. By now the landscape was barren, and the hill was strewn with rocks of every size. A glacier too was seen near the top, but still our Manager and some other fellow travelers went there and took photos. It was so nearby that may be you could touch the mountain, but then may be could not. The northern face was majestic, and even from so far we could see the door like carvings and shapes on the mountain face. As per the myth, once ravana the demon king tried to drag the kailas to lanka, his place, and the ridges in the kailas formed because of the rope marks. If you look close you can make out the figure of swastic too. Compared to the eastern face of Kailas, I think the northern side is more grandeur, breathtaking and awesome. The rocky face is black, adorned with ice, which to the pilgrims mind, takes his/her own deity form. Little by little snow began to fall and the grand northern face began to be veiled. By 8pm all of us were bedded down for sleep.
