Kailash Mansarovar Tour Packages

Overview

Kailash Mansarovar is the most physically demanding pilgrimage we arrange — high altitude for the better part of two weeks, a multi-day Parikrama around the mountain, and border formalities into Tibet that need months of lead time. We route travellers through the Nepal (Kathmandu-Kerung) overland approach, which has generally offered steadier permit access than the older Lipulekh route, and require a medical fitness certificate before confirming any booking.

Trip Highlights

• ✓Parikrama, the circumambulation of Mount Kailash
• ✓Lake Mansarovar, considered among the holiest lakes in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Bon
• ✓Yam Dwar, the traditional starting point of the Parikrama
• ✓Chiu Gompa monastery on the shore of Mansarovar
• ✓Overland Kathmandu-Kerung route with acclimatisation stops
