Overview

The Holy Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is one of the most sacred spiritual journeys in the world. This overland pilgrimage takes you from Kathmandu to Tibet’s mystical landscapes, offering breathtaking Himalayan views, high-altitude passes, and unforgettable divine energy.

About Mount Kailash & Lake Mansarovar

Mount Kailash (6,400 m) and Lake Mansarovar are revered by four major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Each faith recognizes Kailash as a center of cosmic power and ultimate spiritual liberation.

• Hindus believe Mount Kailash is the sacred home of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. A single darshan is believed to purify the soul, while the Kailash Parikrama (53 km) is said to cleanse past karmas.

• Buddhists consider it the seat of Demchok (Samvara), symbolizing supreme bliss.

• Jain devotees revere it as the site where their first Tirthankara attained liberation.

• Bon followers honor Kailash as the nine-storey Swastika Mountain, the spiritual center of their ancient faith.

Kailash Kora (Parikrama)

The 53 km Kailash Kora is one of the holiest walking circuits on earth. The most challenging and sacred point is Dolma La Pass (5,630 m / 19,500 ft), a high-altitude crossing known for its powerful spiritual aura and dramatic mountain scenery.
