Mt. Kailash Overland Yatra

14 Days

Kailash Mansarovar Parikrama, Overland Yatra by Bus from Kathmandu via Kyirong to Mount Kailash

Mount Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Kerung i.e. Manasarovar is a pilgrimage to Tibet, where you start your journey to the land of Tibet with the holy Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar. Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is considered as one of the most pious pilgrimage for the followers of Hindu, Jain and Buddhist religions and at the same time the most difficult spiritual adventure trips of Asia. However, with Kailash Mansarovar overland tours the difficult terrain of Kailash Manasarovar becomes comparatively easy and accessible with the modern road infrastructure and transport system in Tibet. This 14 days long trip filled with spirit of adventure begins from Kathmandu with a rough and scenic drive to Keyrung, crossing Nepalese border at Rasuwagadi. The black top roads of Tibet leading to Lake Mansarovar and Mount Kailash offers scenic view of snowcapped mountains and great Tibetan plains.

Kailash Mansarovar Parikrama: Kailash Parikrama means circumambulation of Mount Kailash. This is one of the most daring and breath-taking parts of the pilgrimage. Mount Kailash is considered to be worshiped by Lord Shiva and Parvati. The circumambulation is believed to bring reverence to the Lord and fulfill the pious wishes of the pilgrims. The Parikrama is 32-mile Kora (meaning clockwise rotation in Tibetan). Various faces of Kailash mountain, rugged terrain, thin air, rotation are all fascinating features of Kora. The landscape through Kora is a perfect decoration of nature that evokes a sense of ecstasy in everyone, with a desire to be absorbed in the highest joys of life.
