Hindus believe the parikrama of Mount Kailash will wash away all the sins that you have committed. Similarly, Buddhists believe that circumambulating Mount Kailash leads to attaining nirvana and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Similarly, followers of Jainism Consider Kailash as the site where their first Tirthankara Rishabhadeva got enlightenment.

Kailash Manasarovar Yatra via Lhasa:

This is one of the best and most popular tours to explore Tibet. This is 14 Nights 15 days journey. Almost after 2-hour flight from Kathmandu, you’ll reach Lhasa. After exploring Lhasa for 2 days we will drive to Gyantse towards Xigatse. Then we will move forward to Saga, Lake Manasarovar, and Darchen and Begin our Parikrama for 2 and half days.

After reaching Darchen we will begin hiking to Dirapuk Monastery, cross the highest pass Dolma La Pass, and move towards Zuthulpuk. From here we will be moving towards Darchen driving towards Saga concluding our Kailash Manasarovar Yatra via Lhasa and flying back to Kathmandu.

Mount Kailash Overland Tour via Kerung:

Another option is to travel to Kailash Yatra from Nepal by road and reach Kerung. After spending almost 3 to 4 days in Kathmandu for visa processing we drive to Syabrubesi. The next day we will cross the Kerung border.

Then our next stop will lead us to the saga. From Saga, it takes a day to reach Mount Kailash. This route is cheaper than the Mount Kailash Overland Tour Via Kerung. The tour excludes the cost of Lhasa so it’s cheaper.
