Tour Overview

Undertake the ultimate spiritual journey of a lifetime—the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, located in Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region (China). Held in supreme reverence across Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon, Mount Kailash (6,638m) is revered as the spiritual center of the universe and the eternal cosmic abode of Lord Shiva.

Starting from Kathmandu (Nepal) or Lucknow, travel across the Nepal-Tibet border to Kyirong and traverse the vast high-altitude Tibetan plateau past Saga to reach holy Lake Mansarovar (4,590m). Pilgrims perform sacred baths and Havans on the shores of Lake Mansarovar while gazing at Mount Kailash.

The tour highlights the sacred 3-day, 52 km Parikrama (Kora) around Mount Kailash, walking past the North Face at Dirapuk, scaling the formidable 5,630-meter Dolma La Pass, passing holy Gauri Kund, and descending to Zuthulpuk.
