The following 3 routes are used by the devotees for the kailash parikarama. So the exact heights and distances of stages are different. The kinner kailash has religious significance for a huge ‘ rock lingam ‘ of kailashpati mahadev. The circuit  around the whole range attracts many pilgrims every year. The parikarama begins from kalpa via tirung valley and back to kalpa via sangla valley. There is a road upto thangi and the actual trekking begins from here.
