The 14-day Kailash Mansarovar Yatra begins with the Rudrabhishek , Puja and Hawan at the sacred Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, invoking blessings for a safe and successful pilgrimage. From Kathmandu, we embark on an exciting journey by air to Nepalgunj, Simikot, and eventually to Hilsa on the Chinese border via helicopter.
After completing immigration formalities at the Chinese border, we continue the journey by road, traversing picturesque landscapes to reach the sacred Kailash Himalayas. Along the way, we visit revered sites such as the Khojernath/Ramsita Temple, ancient Gompas, and Taklakot/Purang. This is the shortest and most efficient route to visit Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, perfect for those with limited time yet seeking a profound spiritual experience.
The helicopter tour is specially designed for pilgrims and travelers who wish to explore the serene beauty and deep spiritual significance of Kailash Mansarovar in a shorter time frame. It is an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the divine and experience the magnificence of the region. Devotees can immerse themselves in the spiritual essence of Lord Shiva, Buddha, and other revered deities.

A highlight of the yatra is the 52-km Kailash Kora or Parikrama, considered a sacred act of devotion. This circumambulation of Mt. Kailash, performed by thousands of pilgrims every year, is an intensely spiritual experience. The trek not only allows participants to connect with their inner selves but also unveils religious stories and legends at every step.
The Parikrama typically takes three days and passes through significant points such as the Darchen base camp, Dirapuk, Dolma La Pass, and Zutulpuk Monastery. It is a challenging yet rewarding journey, offering breathtaking views of the snow-clad peaks, serene landscapes, and the spiritual energy of the mountain. Pilgrims believe that completing the Parikrama brings immense blessings, cleansing of sins, and a deep connection to the divine.

Generally yes, the walk is included but it is dependent mostly on Chinese Tourism Authority’s permission. Since August 2024 they have not permitted to walk up to Kailash Charan due to security and safety reasons. Because the glacier is melting fast and due to this reason the walk has become slippery and the same reason why stones fall from Kailash Parbat which is a big safety concern.
