Tibet: 10d Mount Kailash Trek

  • Easy
  • 6,656 M

Mount Kailash (the Holy mountain) claims as the apex of the Hindu religion. It is also one of the highest mountains in Tibet at 6,700 meters. And Lake Mansarovar lies at 4,556 m above mean sea level, making it the highest fresh-water lake in the world. Certainly, a difficult region to reach due to the variable and extreme weather conditions. The mountain is located in a particularly remote and inhospitable area of the Tibetan Himalayas.

 Every year, thousands of a pilgrimage go to Kailash. Following a tradition going back thousands of years. Pilgrims of several religions believe that circumambulating Mount Kailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring good fortune. Hindus and Buddhists make the peregrination in a clockwise direction. The path around Mount Kailash is 52 km (32 mi) long.

The distance from Lhasa is approximately 2000 Km. Road conditions are difficult much of the time. Therefore, we have to make much preparation to ensure that chance of reaching Kailash. We need to bring our own food and camping equipment. As per Chinese regulations, transportation ( 4WD Jeep) and a Chinese/Tibetan guide are a must to hire from China/Tibet. Whereas we will send Nepalese staff for camping and cooking arrangement. The Nepalese kitchen crew will prepare the food of your taste.

To travel for days on this remote plateau with the chance encounters of nomads herding their sheep or yaks. This view transforms you into another way of life. And become a part of such a devout pilgrimage as shown by pilgrims around Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar. It gives to put some aspects of our western way of life into proper perspective. We begin the tour by traveling from Kathmandu and departing by road to the Nepal/Tibet border.
