A carefully crafted itinerary for a meaningful and comfortable journey.
Day1
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu
Arrive in the City of Temples and the capital city of Nepal. Transfer to hotel. The rest of the day is kept free for rest after your journey. In the evening, yatris can visit the sacred Pashupatinath Temple, one of the most revered shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Experience the powerful Sandhya Aarti performed on the banks of the Bagmati River. Just beside the temple lies the ancient Aryaghat cremation ground. Here, life's deepest truth unfolds – while one side echoes with the sacred hymns and rituals of worship, the other reminds us of the impermanence of existence through the rituals of farewell. This moment beautifully captures the essence of the Kailash journey – a blend of devotion, reflection, and realization. Overnight stay in Kathmandu.

Pick your departure above, or tell a yatra expert who's travelling and when. They'll confirm dates, answer your questions and take care of everything after that.
The spiritual journey begins with a sacred Rudra Yagna at the premises of Pashupatinath Temple. In the evening, proceed for darshan at Jal Narayan Temple (Sleeping Vishnu), Guhyeshwari Shakti Peeth, Ling Bhairavi Devi Temple, and Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple). Followed by Yatra briefing session.
Acclimatize gradually to the high altitude while experiencing the unique culture and heritage of Tibet. Sightseeing introduces to the city, its Buddhist traditions, architecture and way of life.
The journey continues towards Saga through the expansive Tibetan Plateau. As the settlements become fewer and the landscape more remote, the experience begins to feel increasingly connected with the Kailash region.
Today's journey leads to the sacred Lake Mansarovar (14,800 ft). As you travel across the Tibetan plateau, experience your first divine darshan of Mount Kailash – a deeply emotional and spiritual moment for pilgrims. On arrival, perform Mansarovar Parikrama by vehicle and spend time near Lake Mansarovar and Rakshas Tal. According to belief, even a sight of the lake purifies the soul. Absorb the serene and powerful spiritual energy. Overnight stay near Mansarovar.
Begin the day with a holy bath near Lake Mansarovar, followed by Puja, Havan, and Meditation on its sacred banks. With Mount Kailash in the backdrop, this ritual is one of the most spiritually significant moments of the yatra. After lunch, drive to Darchen, the base town of Mount Kailash and starting point of the parikrama. The remainder of the day is for rest and preparation for the upcoming trek. Overnight stay in Darchen.
Drive to Yamdwar, the sacred gateway to Kailash Parikrama. Begin the Parikrama to Diraphuk (16700ft) on foot or by horse.
(Yatris not undertaking the Parikrama will return to Darchen and stay there until the group returns.)
This is the most challenging and spiritually transformative day of the yatra. Trek from Diraphuk to Zuthulphuk via the revered Dolma La Pass (18,500 ft), symbolizing spiritual rebirth. After crossing the pass, descend past the sacred Gauri Kund, believed to be associated with Goddess Parvati. The descent includes a long valley walk and requires stamina and focus. Even horse riders must walk approximately 5-6 km during this stretch. Overnight stay at Zuthulphuk.
After breakfast, walk from Zuthulphuk to the pick-up point (about 6 km, approx. 2 hours). This marks the completion of the sacred Kailash Parikrama – a deeply fulfilling spiritual milestone. Drive back to Darchen to rejoin fellow yatris, followed by a long yet scenic drive to Saga (approx. 9 hours). The evening is free for rest and quiet reflection on the divine journey just completed. Overnight stay in Saga.
Today, we retrace our journey across the Tibetan Plateau towards Shigatse. After the intensity of the Parikrama, the pace becomes more relaxed, allowing time for recovery while continuing through the remarkable Tibetan landscape.
Return to Lhasa, bringing the Tibet leg of the Yatra towards its conclusion. After days in remote Western Tibet, returning to Lhasa provides a comfortable transition before flying back to Kathmandu.
Fly back, completing the Tibet portion of the journey. Upon arrival, check into the hotel and relax. In the evening, attend a Certificate Distribution Ceremony, commemorating the successful completion of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. This moment celebrates not just the journey covered, but the spiritual transformation experienced along the way.
After breakfast, check out from the hotel and transfer to the airport for departure. As you return home, carry with you the divine blessings of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, along with memories of a journey that nurtures faith, resilience, and inner peace. The spiritual essence of this sacred yatra continues to guide and inspire long after the journey ends.
