Itinerary:
Overland Kailash Tour starts from Kathmandu Nepal and enters through the Kerung border. On this 13-day tour, we will have enough acclimatisation, preparation time, exploration days, including 3 days hiking around Mount Kailash. We will stay overnight on the shores of Lake Mansarovar, explore typical Tibetan settlements, and return to Kathmandu, Nepal, at the end of the trip.
Mount Kailash on the western side of Tibet is a holy mountain that Hindu’s believe is the residence of Lord Shiva and his wife Goddess Parvathi. Thousands of pilgrims visit every year, taking a bath in the turquoise water of Lake Mansarovar. The Pilgrims believe that the water cleanses all sins done in a lifetime. One circuit 52 klms of Mount Kailash is said to be “clean up countless sins”. The 52-kilometre Kailash circuit/ Kailash Kora or Kailash Parikrama is the most difficult part of the tour as it incorporates 3 days of trekking via the high pass of Dolma La (5,630miters). The best season for the Kailash overland tour is from May to September. For small private tours, it is suitable for April, October and November.
Every year, thousands of pilgrims make a pilgrimage to Kailash, therefore, encountering pilgrims and monks on the way will be a common sight for trekkers. The trail follows rugged terrain, high altitude and, sometimes the weather can be unforgiving, making the trek challenging.
