Embark on a sacred journey to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, a revered pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers. This yatra begins in Lucknow, followed by a scenic drive to Nepalgunj, marking the first step toward this spiritual adventure.

From Nepalgunj, an early morning flight takes travelers to Simikot, the gateway to remote northwest Nepal, offering breathtaking mountain views. A helicopter ride further transports pilgrims to Hilsa, from where they cross the border into Tibet and drive to Taklakot (Purang) for acclimatization.

The journey continues with a drive across the vast Tibetan plateau to the sacred Lake Manasarovar (4,590m). Pilgrims can take a holy dip in its pristine waters and perform spiritual rituals along its shores. The next day, a visit to Yamdwar, the gateway to Mount Kailash Kora, allows for a divine darshan of Mount Kailash. Instead of trekking, travelers return to Taklakot on the same day.

The return journey retraces the route through Hilsa, Simikot, and Nepalgunj, culminating with a drive back to Lucknow.

This short and comfortable itinerary is designed for those seeking the spiritual essence of Kailash and Manasarovar without the physical demands of the Kora. With expert guidance, seamless logistics, and breathtaking landscapes, this yatra offers a divinely enriching and transformative experience.

This is one of the most challenging high-altitude road journeys in the world, and physical fitness is essential. Individuals with asthma or heart conditions may experience difficulty acclimatizing to high altitudes. For your safety, it is crucial that you undergo a thorough examination by your doctor to assess your health and ability to endure the demands of high-altitude travel, including days in "no road" conditions, extreme cold, dust, and trekking to an altitude of 19,500 feet during the Parikrama.

In the summer, temperatures are generally more moderate, but it can still get quite cold during the night, especially at higher altitudes.

As you ascend to higher altitudes, it is common to experience symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and breathlessness, as your body acclimates to the elevation. This adjustment period can vary in duration, typically taking a few days or longer, depending on the individual. To ensure a safer and more comfortable journey, we require all travellers to stay two nights at Mansarovar before proceeding to higher elevations. We strongly recommend staying well-hydrated, remaining calm, and refraining from physical exertion. Additionally, avoid consuming alcohol or smoking before or during the tour.
