The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is one of the most revered spiritual pilgrimages in the world, taking devotees to the abode of Lord Shiva – the sacred Mount Kailash and the holy Lake Mansarovar in Tibet. Available in multiple comfortable options including luxury overland tours, helicopter packages from Kathmandu or Lucknow, and exclusive fly-in routes via Lhasa, the yatra is designed for all age groups, with special care for senior citizens through minimum-walking helicopter itineraries and pony support during the Kailash Kora.
Every trip guarantees pure vegetarian Indian meals (Jain food on request), experienced Indian cooks, 24×7 medical support with oxygen cylinders and Gamow bags, and highly trained staff including doctors on most departures. Full Moon (Purnima) batches are precisely timed so that pilgrims reach Lake Mansarovar exactly on the Indian calendar Purnima for the auspicious holy dip and puja, making the spiritual experience deeply fulfilling.
With options ranging from the most economical overland journey to the ultra-luxurious Lhasa fly-in tour featuring 4-star hotels and visits to Potala Palace, the yatra combines comfort, safety, and devotion seamlessly. Mandatory high-altitude travel insurance, gradual acclimatization, and professional Indian/Nepali tour leaders ensure that your sacred pilgrimage remains hassle-free and memorable for a lifetime.
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is the holiest pilgrimage on Earth — a divine journey to the abode of Lord Shiva (Mount Kailash 6,638 m) and the sacred Lake Mansarovar (4,590 m), the highest freshwater lake in the world. For centuries, millions of Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers have undertaken this yatra believing that one parikrama (circumambulation) of Kailash washes away the sins of a lifetime and brings instant moksha. This comfortable overland journey from Kathmandu crosses the dramatic Tibetan plateau in 4WD Land Cruisers, offering breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, vast grasslands, and nomadic camps. Many 2026 departures are specially timed for Full Moon at Mansarovar — the most auspicious day for holy dip and puja. From the first darshan of Kailash’s north face at Dirapuk to crossing the sacred Dolma La Pass (5,630 m), every moment fills your soul with peace, devotion, and divine energy. This is the ultimate spiritual adventure of a lifetime.
