You will be seeing the following places during the whole Kailash yatra:-
i) Rakshastal- It is located to the west of Lake Mansarovar. Rakshastal is a saltwater lake which means the lake of demons. It is said that the demon king Ravana meditated here and recited Shiva Tandav Stotram to impress Lord Shiva.
ii) Lake Mansarovar- This is the point where we get the first view of Mount Kailash. It is a freshwater lake that was first created in the mind of Lord Brahma and then manifested on earth.
iii) Chu Gompa- It is a monastery near Lake Mansarovar. 
iv) Yamdwar- One of the most prominent attractions of the Kailash Yatra, Yamdwar is the Gate of Salvation. It is believed that passing through this gate washes away your sins. This is the point from where Mount Kailash Parikrama starts.
v) Mount Kailash- The main motive to go on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is to get the darshan of the Holy Mountain Kailash. It is believed that Mount Kailash is the resting abode of Lord Shiva and his family. 
vi) Nandi Parvat- Next to Mount Kailash is the Nandi Parvat. Nandi Ji is believed to be the Vehicle (Vahan) of Lord Shiva, so wherever there is Lord Shiva, Nandi Ji will be there. The Nandi Parvat is a mountain in the shape of Nandi Ji.
vii) Dhirapuk- After completing the first day Parikrama of Mount Kailash we reach Dhirapuk. It is the place that gives the most beautiful view of Mount Kailash between two other mountains. One can spot the Golden Kailash in the morning from this point. 
viii) Shiva Sthal- On the second day of Mount Kailash Parikrama, we get to see Shiva Sthal which is the place where people donate clothes and ornaments as it said that if you donate something at Shivasthal, you will get it in your next life.
ix) Dolma La Pass- This is the highest point of the Kailash Parikrama which is situated at an elevation of 6800 meters above sea level. You get to visit Dolma La pass on the second day of Mount Kailash Parikrama.
x) Gaurikund- It is a perfectly round-shaped lake just ahead of Dolma La Pass and is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ganesha. It is said to be the lake in which Mata Parvati used to take bath and created Lord Ganesha.
