岡仁波齊-止熱寺

岡仁波齊止熱寺位於高海拔的岡仁波齊轉山路上，通常無需單獨預約購票，但如需在寺廟的客棧住宿，床位有限建議提前確認。前往前需辦好邊防證，並提前適應高原。寺內海拔約5210米，氣候嚴寒多變，務必攜帶保暖、防風、防曬裝備和高熱量食物。請尊重宗教習俗，保持安靜，未經允許不得拍攝佛像和僧眾，愛護環境，將所有垃圾帶走。

Zhire Temple (Drirapuk Monastery) is located on the high-altitude Mount Kailash kora route. Generally, no separate reservation or ticket is required, but if you plan to stay at the monastery’s guesthouse, it is advisable to confirm availability in advance due to limited bed spaces. Before visiting, obtain a border permit and acclimatize to the high altitude. Situated at about 5,210 meters above sea level, the area experiences severe cold and changeable weather conditions. Essential preparations include warm, windproof, and sun-protective gear, as well as high-calorie food. Respect religious customs by maintaining quietness, refraining from photographing statues or monks without permission, and help preserve the environment by taking all trash with you.

止熱寺（又稱芝熱寺）是岡仁波齊轉山路線上的重要寺廟，位於神山北面，海拔約5085米，是朝聖者第一天的核心休息點與觀景地。寺廟由古倉巴大師於13世紀修建，依山而建，藏語意為「母犛牛角寺」，傳說因古倉巴受犛牛指引發現洞頂牛角印跡而得名。此處是近距離仰望岡仁波齊北壁「日照金山」的絕佳位置，隔河可見象徵文殊、觀音、金剛手菩薩的三座山峰。寺內保留有「母犛牛角洞」聖跡及精美壁畫，兼具宗教文化與自然景觀價值。

Zhire Temple (also known as Drirapuk Monastery) is a significant monastery on the Mount Kailash kora pilgrimage route. Situated on the northern face of the sacred mountain at an altitude of approximately 5,085 meters, it serves as a core resting and viewing point for pilgrims on the first day of their journey. Built by the master Gotsangpa in the 13th century against the mountainside, its Tibetan name means "Monastery of the Female Yak Horn," derived from the legend of Gotsangpa being led by a yak to discover horn imprints on a cave ceiling. This spot offers an exceptional vantage point for closely admiring the "Sunlit Golden Summit" of Kailash's north face, with three peaks symbolizing Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara, and Vajrapani visible across the river. The temple preserves the sacred "Yak Horn Cave" and exquisite murals, blending religious culture with stunning natural scenery.
