Kailash Mansarovar Yatra By Helicopter From Lucknow

Following breakfast, your journey continues with a scenic helicopter flight to Hilsa, located at the Nepali border (approximately 20 minutes). From Hilsa, a short 10-minute walk will take you to the Shera border, where you will cross into Tibet. Here, you will meet our Tibetan and Nepali support crew. Subsequently, you will embark on a drive to Taklakot (also known as Purang), situated at an altitude of 3900 meters (approximately 30 kilometers). You will spend the night at a local guesthouse.

Today, after breakfast, you will travel approximately 78 kilometers to the holy Lake Manasarovar (at an altitude of 4500 meters). The rest of the day is dedicated to spiritual activities at this revered lake. Pilgrims often engage in Pooja (prayer), Havana (sacred fire ritual), meditation, and taking a holy bath in the lake. Spending time at the abode of the gods is considered a deeply significant experience. You will stay overnight at a lodge on the shores of Lake Manasarovar.

After breakfast, you will undertake an hour’s drive to Darchen, which serves as the base camp for the sacred Mount Kailash Parikrama (circumambulation). The rest of the day is set aside for further acclimatization to the altitude and for preparations needed for the Kailash Parikrama.

Your Kailash Parikrama begins today. You will first drive approximately 10 kilometers to Tarboche, also known as Yam Dwar (the Gate of the God of Death). From here, you will commence your trek, which will take approximately 4 to 5 hours, leading you to Diraphuk (at an altitude of 4890 meters). You will stay overnight at a guesthouse in Diraphuk, offering magnificent views of the north face of Mount Kailash.

Today marks a significant and often challenging part of the Parikrama. You will continue your trek (approximately 22 kilometers) towards the revered Dolma La pass, situated at a high altitude of 5600 meters. At the pass, pilgrims often offer short prayers. Following this, you will descend towards Gaurikunda, a holy lake associated with Parvati. Your day concludes with an overnight stay at a guesthouse in Zhulthulphuk (altitude 4790 meters).

After breakfast, you will embark on a trek of approximately 13 kilometers, which will bring you to a point where jeeps will be waiting. You will then drive to Darchen, marking the completion of your Kailash Parikrama. After lunch, the journey continues with a drive back to Taklakot, potentially via a partial circuit (Parikrama) of Lake Manasarovar. You will stay overnight in Taklakot.

Early this morning, you will take a helicopter flight back to Simikot. From Simikot, you will board a connecting flight to Nepalgunj. Upon arrival in Nepalgunj, you will be transferred directly to Lucknow for overnight stay.

Following breakfast and hotel check-out, you will be transferred to either the Lucknow Railway Station or the Lucknow Airport for your onward journey. This marks the conclusion of your tour.
