About This Package
Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is built on our Kailash Mansarovar itinerary — Kailash Mansarovar is the most physically demanding pilgrimage we arrange — high altitude for the better part of two weeks, a multi-day Parikrama around the mountain, and border formalities into Tibet that need months of lead time. We route travellers through the Nepal (Kathmandu-Kerung) overland approach, which has generally offered steadier permit access than the older Lipulekh route, and require a medical fitness certificate before confirming any booking.
This version is tailored for pilgrimage travellers: A permit-assisted, altitude-paced yatra to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in Tibet.
