Location of Mount Kailash, 13 Drigung Kagyu and Dharma King Norsang
The probable site of Ashtapad is located to the south east of Mt. Kailash (6638m), at the altitude of Ashtapad that is 5996 m. Mt Kailash is known as Gang Rinpoche/ Gang Ti-se. It is 5km SE of DiraPhuk: 5 km SW of Dolma La. 7.5 km NW of Zutul Phuk: 8km NE of Gyangdrag Monastery: 8.5 km NE of Ser Lung Gompa.9 km N/E of Darphoche/ Yam Dwar, or Moksha Dwar. It is 2.5 km to the east of 13 Drigung- Kagyu chorten: 2 km to the east of Serdung Chuksum La, or 2.5km SW of Sangpo- Sanglam La. The site is easily approachable from Serdung Chuksum La or Gangpo Sanglam La.

When I saw a picture poster with my colleague, Shashikant Sharma, which was commercially available and was bought by him in Tibet. I assumed that the photograph was taken from the south side of Kailash and flight path of the helicopter must be from SW to NE i.e. from Darchen side to east of Kailash. I tried to locate the other peak with reference to Kailash with the help of my colleague Shashikant Sharma and located the same i.e. Dharma King Norsang (DKN) as Ashtapad peak.
The description given by Swami Anand Bhairav Giri (Ashtapad Model vol. 7 pp3046: Tithyar year 29, issue 1 pp 69), does not match with any of the other nine sites found in literature but it perfectly matches with this newly discovered site of probable location of Ashtapad i.e. Dharma King Norsang by satellite imagery.
