Overview

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Lhasa sounds like an incredible journey, blending cultural exploration with spiritual pilgrimage. Starting with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa, participants are treated to breathtaking views before immersing themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Tibet.

Spending three days in Lhasa allows for acclimatization to the high altitudes while also providing ample time to visit iconic landmarks such as the Potala Palace, Sera Monastery, Norbulingka Palace, Jokhang Temple, and the Barkhor Square, each offering insights into Tibetan history, religion, and architecture.

Continuing the journey towards Lake Mansarovar and Mount Kailash in the Ngari region, travelers are greeted with stunning landscapes and opportunities for spiritual reflection. The exploration of Lake Mansarovar, considered one of the most sacred lakes in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon, is a deeply profound experience.

The highlight of the journey is undoubtedly the three-day Kailash Parvat Kora/Parikrama, where participants circumambulate Mount Kailash either by foot or on horseback, a journey that holds immense significance in various religious traditions.

Throughout the tour, travelers are treated to well-paved roads, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey, with the exception of the challenging yet spiritually rewarding three days of the Kailash Kora. This pilgrimage promises not only cultural enrichment but also spiritual rejuvenation amidst some of the world’s most awe-inspiring landscapes.
