Tirthapuri has a one-hour kora route. It’s somewhat interesting to follow, though most people can safely give this place a miss if time is tight.
Starting from the hot springs the trail climbs to a cremation point, an oval of rocks covered in old clothes and rags. From this point, an alternative longer kora climbs to the very top of the ridge, rejoining the trail near the long mani wall. The regular kora trail continues past a hole where pilgrims dig ‘sour’ earth for medicinal purposes. Further along, there’s a ‘sweet’ earth hole.

Finally, the kora drops back down to the river, passing a large collection of mani walls of various sizes on the way.
