The tour is an adventure based on deluxe hotels, mud house stay and guided by local Tibetan Guide in the Mount Kailash Trek under the Nepalese Supervision.
Mansarovar Yatra kicks off after the grand rudrabhishek and hawan in the great Hindu temple Pashupatinath. Then, you fly over Himalayas Mt.

The majestic Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Deprung and Sera Monastery and the stroll around lively Barkhor Square are the highlights travelers do not like to ignore at Lhasa.
Now the holy Kailash Yatra heads out along the Tibetan Highway and arrives at Shigatse. En route, travelers get to savor the magnificence of Himalayan panorama dominated by Mt. Everest and Mt. Sishapagma, and other Trans Himalayan peaks. The highlights of Gyantse, the town lying on the highway, unfolds prehistoric Gyantse Dzong and Shigatse caters incredible Buddhist culture at Tashilumpo Monastery.
