Overview of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra
Sacred trans-Himalayan yatra to Mount Kailash (6,638m) and holy Lake Mansarovar in Western Tibet, completing the 3-day sacred Kora around the abode of Lord Shiva.
Mount Kailash (Kang Rinpoche) is regarded by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bonpos as the spiritual center of the universe and the earthly throne of Lord Shiva. This life-transforming 14-day overland pilgrimage departs from Kathmandu crossing the Kerung border into Tibet. Drive across the vast Tibetan plateau to the sapphire waters of holy Lake Mansarovar (4,590m) for ritual baths and puja, before completing the 52-kilometer sacred Parikrama (Kora) around Mount Kailash crossing the high Dolma La Pass (5,630m).
Comprehensive full-service pilgrimage including Tibet Travel Permits, Chinese Group Visa, oxygen-equipped luxury buses, Nepali cooks serving pure vegetarian meals, and yaks for luggage.
