Kailash Nandi Kora (parikrama) is one of the best yatra packages to Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar Kshetra (area) which is popular among the pilgrimages of Hindu, Bon, Buddhist and Jain. This kora is also known as one of the hardest and adventurous Kora that needs some mountaineering experience and equipment. We have such skillful and experienced mountaineering staffs that provide quality and satisfactory services.
