Our tour begins with the Lhasa Kailash Mansarover Lake tour, considered the birthplace of Tibetan civilization. After traveling through several Tibetan towns, we finally arrive at the holy Mount Kailash after passing the enchanting Mansarovar Lake. During our tour of Tibetan towns, we visit famous landmarks and Buddhist monasteries such as the Potala Palace and Tashilhunpo Monastery. A visit to the Mansarovar Lake and Mount Kailash is the ultimate realization of spiritual pursuit for a devout adventure seeker and pilgrim who are seeking solitude and accomplishment on this trip.
It is believed that every living being shows their devotion to the creator in a different way by traveling the Kerung route to Kailash Manasarovar. While different religions worship different gods, their ultimate faith is in the existence of the world's creator. As the abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Kailash and Manasarovar are regarded as the most sacred places on earth. The Buddha is worshipped by Buddhists. It is the unique devotion of every living being to their creator that sets them apart from the rest.
The existence of the creator of this world is the ultimate faith of all religions, no matter what the name of their god is. There is no doubt that Mount Kailash and Manasarovar are among the most sacred places on Earth. Hindus believe it is the abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. This is the place where Lord Buddha meditated and lived, according to Buddhists. Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Bonpo religious founders are believed to have meditated and resided in this region. Due to this, thousands of devotees from around the world visit this region every year to see the divine view. It is believed that completing the pilgrimage to this region is to obtain release from the clutches of vices of life. Kailash is a popular destination for adventure seekers due to its diverse landscape, flora, and fauna. As a symbol of good fortune, the bulky Black Peak, located at 6714 meters above sea level, is believed to be large and bulky. Circumambulating the Kailash region is considered the best way to earn merits and blessings from the gods.
Important highlights
- During Kailash Yatra, we will provide medicine (free of charge) to Medical Doctors.
- We provide massage therapist at a rate of 1 USD per minute (chargeable).
- Kailash Circumambulation will not have a car, bus, or Jeep service, but you can hire a pony and porter for four days. Part of the 53 km Kailash Parikrama involves a walk from Yam Dwar to Chongdo, which is 38 kilometers away.
- The Kailash region does not have Shiva temples but a Ram/Sita/Laxman temple can be found in Khojarnath, 15 kilometers from the Hillsa border between Nepal and China.
- Rudrabhishek, Hawan and Aarti are performed by Nepalese priests or pandits at Manasarovar Lake. Tirth Saradha can be performed in Manasarovar for an additional fee by a Nepali Pandit for individuals without parents.
- Manasarovar Lake, Dirapuk, and Zuthulpuk around Manasarovar Lake are only accessible by simple guesthouses that sleep four to eight people per room during Kailash Manasarovar Yatra. Toiletries are very simple and common.
- To make pilgrims suffer, the people here have not built any good hotels. Kailash Yatra/tour is not recommended for pilgrims who cannot adjust to the services listed above.
- Women who are pregnant should not make religious pilgrimages to Kailash Manasarovar.
- Manasarovar Lake should not be touched or bathed in by women who have been menstruating for four days.

Health Precaution
Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induce certain illness generally not encountered in the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. The best idea is to deliberately slow down all the activities and have the following suggestions in mind:
- Relax-do not exert, be excited, make rest if needed
- Reduce talk time with each other during the journey
- Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
- Keep your load light.
- Walk for 30 minutes and rest for 5 minutes
- Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
- Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
- Observe silence with smile.
- Never go too high and too fast.
- Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
- Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favorite music, Bhajans, chanting etc.
- Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
- Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
- The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sightseeing together.
- Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
- On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable.
