Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Overview
Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is the journey from Kathmandu to Mount Kailash (6,638 m). It holds deep spiritual significance for Hindus, Bons, Buddhists, and Jains alike. Revered as the ultimate pilgrimage destination, Mount Kailash is a sacred site where souls worldwide seek spiritual enlightenment and connection.
This sacred mountain is not only a place of profound devotion but is also believed to be the divine abode of Lord Shiva, often referred to as “The God of all Gods” in Hinduism. Additionally, Lake Manasarovar, located in close proximity to Mount Kailash, is considered the embodiment of Brahma’s essence in Hindu beliefs, further enhancing the spiritual aura of this sacred region.
Over the span of 15 days, the Kailash Mansarovar yatra begins with a tour of Kathmandu, where you can visit its famous temples like Pashupati Nath Temple, Boudhanath, Soyambhunath and, on the third day, Budhalikantha Temple.

Route to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra
Your journey begins in Kathmandu, where our team will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel. After exploring UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a day is set aside for preparation before driving to Syabrubesi near the Nepal–China border. From here, we continue to Kerung, where we rest and acclimatize to the altitude.
The drive then takes us across vast plateaus and valleys to Saga, and onward to the holy Lake Mansarovar. Here, pilgrims take part in puja rituals before continuing to Darchen, the starting point of the Kailash Kora. The three-day circumambulation begins with a drive to Tarboche and a trek to Dirapuk, offering the first close views of Mount Kailash.
On the second day, the trek crosses the challenging Drolma La Pass at 5,630 meters, the highest point of the Yatra, before descending to Zuthulpuk. The final day of the Kora completes the circuit back to Darchen, followed by a return drive to Saga and Kerung. From Kerung, we make our way back to Kathmandu, where the journey concludes with unforgettable memories of this sacred pilgrimage.
