Kailash Mansarovar Yatra By Road Ex-Kathmandu

After breakfast, a short drive of approximately 15 km (about 1 hour) will take you to the Rasuwa Gadi border point. Here, you will complete the necessary immigration and customs formalities on both the Nepalese and Chinese (Tibetan) sides. Once cleared, your journey continues with a drive into Tibet to the small town of Kerung (Kyirong). Upon arrival, you will check into your hotel for an overnight stay.

Today, after breakfast, you will set off on a spectacular drive towards Dongba. This leg of the journey offers grand views of majestic peaks, including Mt. Shishapangma (8013m) and Gauri Shankar, among other towering Himalayan mountains. You will also traverse the high Gung-Yue La Pass (5050m). Your dinner and overnight stay will be in Dongba.

An auspicious day awaits! Following breakfast, you will drive towards the sacred Lake Mansarovar, situated at an altitude of 4500 meters. Prepare to experience your first divine glimpse of Holy Mansarovar and the magnificent Mount Kailash from the Horchu Pass. Your overnight accommodation will be in a lodge at Chiu Gompa, located on the serene shores of Lake Mansarovar.

The morning is dedicated to spiritual activities at the sacred Lake Mansarovar. You will have the opportunity to participate in Pooja (worship), Havan, and meditation, or take a holy dip in the sacred waters – a truly lifetime achievement. Later, a short one-hour drive will take you to Darchen, the base camp for the Mount Kailash Parikrama (circumambulation). The rest of the day is free for acclimatization and preparing for the upcoming Parikrama. You will spend the night in Darchen.

After an early start, you will drive approximately 10 km to Tarboche (Yama Dwar), which marks the starting point of the Kailash Parikrama.

Your overnight stay will be at a guesthouse in Dirapuk.

The Parikrama continues today with its most challenging yet rewarding segment. You will trek uphill to the Dolma La Pass (5600m), the highest point of this sacred pilgrimage, where you can offer prayers. Afterwards, you will descend towards Gauri Kund, a holy lake, before continuing your trek to Zuthulphuk Monastery. This demanding day is a pivotal experience for every pilgrim. You will stay overnight at a guesthouse in Zuthulphuk.

After breakfast, you will enjoy a relatively easier trek of about 8 km, which will lead you to the point where your jeeps will be waiting. Upon reaching the road-head, your Kailash Parikrama concludes. You will then board the vehicles and drive to Darchen for lunch. After lunch, your journey continues back towards Dongba, allowing you to pass by the magnificent Lake Mansarovar once more. Your overnight stay will be at a guesthouse in Dongba.

Following breakfast this morning, you will drive back towards Kerung, retracing your route through the vast Tibetan plateau. Take this opportunity to once again enjoy the familiar yet ever-striking landscapes. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the hotel in Kerung.

After breakfast, you will check out from your hotel and begin the drive back towards the Nepal-Tibet border at Rasuwa Gadi. After completing the necessary border formalities, you will re-enter Nepal and continue your drive to Kathmandu. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will check into your hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

Enjoy a final breakfast in Kathmandu this morning. After checking out from the hotel, you will be transferred to Tribhuvan International Airport for your onward flight.
