Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from Kathmandu by Road

This 14-day / 13-night overland pilgrimage begins in Kathmandu and gradually moves through Nepal into Tibet via the Kyirong border route. The extended road itinerary allows staged acclimatization before reaching Lake Mansarovar, Darchen and the Mount Kailash parikrama circuit.

The spiritual core of the journey includes time at Lake Mansarovar and the three-day Kailash parikrama via Dirapuk, Dolma La and Zuthulpuk, subject to health, weather, permit and local operating conditions.

International Permit & High-Altitude Conditions

Tibet Travel Permit, Chinese group visa/entry formalities and other approvals are mandatory. The route reaches extreme altitude and requires medical fitness, gradual acclimatization and strict adherence to guide instructions. Border rules and operating procedures can change.
