Overview
Mount Kailash, revered by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers, is considered the sacred home of gods and the center of the universe. The transformative Kailash Mansarovar Yatra takes pilgrims on an enlightening journey to this sacred mountain and the revered Lake Manasarovar. This spiritual odyssey lasts about 16 days, beginning in Kathmandu, Nepal, and continuing to Tibet, where the first few days are spent acclimatizing to the high altitude. Once prepared, pilgrims embark on a challenging trek of around four days to reach Mount Kailash.
Kailash Mansarovar Trip Introduction:
Arriving at the sacred mountain, pilgrims engage in a sacred ritual of circumambulating it three times, believed to purify both body and mind. Following this profound practice, they visit Lake Manasarovar, famous for its healing properties. The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is an extraordinary and rewarding journey that leads devotees to spiritual enlightenment. For those seeking a life-changing pilgrimage, this Yatra offers a profound and transformative experience.

Afterward, you will be transferred to your hotel for check-in and overnight stay.
On the second day, we will focus on finalizing your Tibetan visa. You will have breakfast at the hotel, and then we will go ahead with the necessary preparations. While waiting for the visa processing (which requires 4 working days), we will make the most of the day by exploring the cultural and historical highlights of Kathmandu.

In the third day, we will continue with the preparations for your Tibetan visa application. You will have breakfast at the hotel, and we will proceed with the necessary formalities. While the visa is being processed, we will continue the Kathmandu sightseeing tour, visiting other significant landmarks and cultural sites in the valley.
