This exclusive 15-day pilgrimage begins with a spectacular flight from Kathmandu over the Himalayas to the forbidden city of Lhasa (3,700 m). Travelers spend the first few days exploring Tibet’s greatest cultural treasures—Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, and Tashilhunpo Monastery—while comfortably acclimatizing in 4-star hotels with pure vegetarian Indian meals. The journey then crosses the vast Tibetan plateau by luxury coach, offering gradual altitude gain and panoramic views en route to the sacred Lake Mansarovar.
The spiritual climax unfolds at Lake Mansarovar (4,590 m) and Mount Kailash (6,638 m), with many 2026 departures perfectly timed for the auspicious Full Moon (Purnima) for holy dip and puja. Pilgrims complete the sacred 52-km Outer Kailash Kora over three days with yak support, crossing the revered Dolma La Pass (5,630 m)—symbol of rebirth—and enjoying the closest north-face darshan from Dirapuk Monastery. Comprehensive medical support, oxygen cylinders, and a Gamow bag ensure safety throughout.
Returning via Shigatse and Lhasa, the tour ends with a scenic flight back to Kathmandu. Combining maximum comfort (4-star city hotels, luxury coaches, Indian cook), deep cultural immersion in Lhasa, and the holiest pilgrimage experience with Full Moon blessings, this is widely regarded as the most luxurious and fulfilling way to undertake the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.
The Kathmandu–Lhasa–Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is the most luxurious and culturally rich way to complete the holiest pilgrimage — combining the forbidden city of Lhasa, ancient Tibetan monasteries, and the divine abode of Lord Shiva (Mount Kailash 6,638 m) with sacred Lake Mansarovar (4,590 m). This grand journey begins with a breathtaking flight over the Himalayas to Lhasa (3,700 m), where you explore the iconic Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Tashilhunpo Monastery before driving across the vast Tibetan plateau to Kailash. Many 2026 departures are timed for Full Moon at Mansarovar — the most auspicious day for holy dip and puja. Complete the sacred 52-km Outer Kora, cross Dolma La Pass (5,630 m), and return with lifetime blessings and moksha in absolute comfort.
