Overview

Tibet Kailash Tour is a journey of soul purification as you travel through sacred sites, mountain passes, holy lakes, and the home of Lord Shiva, Kailash. Mount Kailash lies in the Himalayas in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and has several sacred sites that are religiously significant. For many religions, Mount Kailash (6638 m) is the most important one. Seeing Mt. Kailash up close is a dream, and circumventing it is a once-in-a-lifetime event. So, get ready for the challenge and have the pilgrimage tour of your life.

Tibet Kailash Tour

After spending a day in Kathmandu, also the home to Pashupatinath, one of the most important Shiva temples in the world, we will reach the Chinese border to the north of Nepal the next day. Tibet Kailash Tour is made on a vehicle to Kailash Base Camp, after which we will spend three-day on trekking around Mount Kailash. Mount Kailash is also religiously significant to Hindus, Buddhists, and Jain and Bon followers. En route to Kailash, you pass through the barren hills, yak meadows, patchy green fields, dunes, waterfalls, and rivers that make up the breathtaking landscape of Tibet. You also visit the serene Mansarovar Lake and offer prayers by doing puja on the river bank.
