Trip Overview

Embarking on the Mt. Kailash – Mansarovar Tour is an unparalleled journey to the heart of Tibet, the roof of the world. Its highlights encompass a three-day Kora around the sacred Mt. Kailash, the exploration of mystical Lake Manasarovar, and the exhilarating traverse of two of the world's highest passes - Drolma La (5620m) and Kongtang Lhamo pass (5236m). These awe-inspiring passes offer breathtaking vistas of Mt. Shishapangma, the world's 14th highest peak, and Mt. Gurla Mandhata (7694m).

The expedition unfolds amidst the surreal and exotic landscapes of Tibet, adorned with tranquil lakes, cascading waterfalls, ancient monasteries, and thriving wildlife. It presents a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in the unique nomadic lifestyle of the Tibetan people, witness their rich Buddhist culture, and engage in meaningful interactions. Additionally, the tour features visits to notable sites such as the Yarlung Tsangpo River, Peaku Tso Lake, and the serene Chiu Monastery.

Commencing from Rasuwagadhi, a mere 100km north of Kathmandu, along the Nepal-Tibet border, the journey culminates in the vibrant city of Lhasa, offering a seamless blend of adventure, spirituality, and cultural immersion.
