Upon arrival at Kathmandu airport, you will receive a warm welcome with a Rudraksha Maala (garland). Our team will pick you up from the airport and transfer you to your hotel.

Later in the evening, if possible, we will visit the Pashupatinath temple for Aarti.

After breakfast, we will visit the Pashupatinath Temple for Darshan and a special arrangement of Rudrabhishek Havan with 11 pandits chanting the Rudri together. You can feel the presence of Lord Shiva and pray for a successful Kailash Manasarovar Yatra.

Later, we will visit the Jal Narayan & Guhyeshwari Shaktipeeth Temple.

After dinner, there will be a short briefing about Kailash Manasarovar Yatra and final preparations and packing for Kailash.

Get ready for an unforgettable pilgrimage journey as we drive to Timure/Rasuwagadhi near the Nepal-China border. Our journey starts after breakfast at 7 AM with Swasti vachan for a blissful trip ahead. We will be traveling in comfortable transportation, either by car or Scorpio in Nepal and similar in China.

After breakfast, we’ll take a short walk to Rasuwa Gadhi, which is the border between Nepal and China. Once we complete the immigration and custom formalities on the Nepal-Tibet side, we’ll continue our drive to the charming city of Kyirong. So, get ready to explore this beautiful city and make some unforgettable memories!

After breakfast, we will drive to Saga (169km-5hrs) and see the beautiful sights of old monasteries, a stunning waterfall, a flowing river, and dense alpine forests. We’ll also catch a glimpse of the Holy River Brahmaputra as we pass through Ghungtang-La (5236M) on our way there.

After breakfast, we will drive to the sacred Holy Lake Manasarovar.

Today is a very special day for all of us as we will get the first glimpse of the holy lake and the magnificent view of Mount Kailash from Horchu. After completing the local immigration, we will continue our drive and complete the Lake Manasarovar Parikrama by vehicle. On the way, we will find a beautiful spot to take a memorable group picture of Kailash, Manasarovar, and Rakshasa Lake.

This is the moment we have all been eagerly waiting for, and the breathtaking view of Manasarovar and the magnificent galaxy is something that will create amazing memories for us to cherish for a lifetime.

Today is a very special day for all the Yatries as they will have the opportunity to be in the abode of God itself, which is a lifetime achievement. The day will start with a bath at the banks of the Holy Lake Mansarovar, followed by Puja, Havana, Meditation, and other spiritual activities. After completing these activities, we will have lunch and then drive to Darchen.

After breakfast, you’ll have a short drive to Yama Dwar, which marks the starting point for Kailash Parikrama. From here, pilgrims embark on a 12km trek towards Diraphuk, allowing them to walk or hire a horse or porter to carry their backpacks. The journey offers stunning views of nature, with the peaceful sounds of flowing rivers and glimpses of Nandi Kailash along the way.

At Diraphuk, you’ll be able to witness the North face of Mt. Kailash. Don’t miss the chance to catch the first rays of the Sun on the Golden Mt. Kailash early in the morning, a spectacular sight and a visual treat for all.

For those not participating in the Parikrama, there will be a chance to have Darshana at Yamadwar before returning to Darchen and waiting for the Parikrama Yatries to return.

Get yourself ready to witness the breathtaking and divine golden view of Mount Kailash. After a hearty breakfast, we will start our trek to Charansparsha, located approximately 3 kilometers from our stay at Diraphuk. The journey will take around 4-5 hours to complete, depending on your physical fitness. The experience is sure to leave you with a profound sense of peace and connection to this holy land.

The 2nd day of Parikrama is the journey’s most challenging but rewarding experience.

After a light breakfast, we’ll trek from Diraphuk to Dolma La pass, which is at an altitude of 5620m, and then down to the flat valley via Gaurikunda. It takes around 3-4 hours to reach Zuthulphuk from there. This is the day when every pilgrim talks about the most difficult part of the journey. Even those who hired horses will have to climb steeply up to Dolma La pass and then descend towards Gaurikunda.

But once this toughest part is completed, you can relax at local tea stalls and enjoy a hot cup of tea or noodles before continuing towards Zuthulphuk.

Today marks the end of the Kailash Parikrama trek, and after a short 2-hour walk, we will reach the end point where our bus will be waiting for us. From there, we will drive back to Darchen and reunite with the rest of our group members who have been waiting for us. After a fulfilling breakfast, we will then proceed with our journey and drive to Saga. It’s been an incredible journey, and we have all made memories that will last a lifetime.

After breakfast drive back to Kyirong.

After breakfast, we’ll drive back to the China-Nepal border at Rasuwa Gadhi. Once we complete immigration and customs, it’s just a short walk to our hotel in Timure. After lunch, we’ll hop in the car and head back to Kathmandu.
