Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Packages
A 12 day Kailash Mansarovar yatra from Delhi through Kathmandu and Tibet. Holy dip in Lake Mansarovar, the three day Kailash parikrama, Chinese visa and permit help, and an experienced tour leader.
Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Packages Overview
Mount Kailash is the holiest mountain for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bon followers. Hindus believe it is the home of Lord Shiva. Lake Mansarovar lies nearby at about 4,590 metres, and a holy dip and a parikrama of the lake are a key part of the yatra. The Kailash parikrama is about 52 km on foot over 3 days.
This package follows the route through Nepal. You fly from Delhi to Kathmandu, then travel by road into Tibet through Nyalam, and go on to Lake Mansarovar and Darchen at the foot of Kailash. After the parikrama you return by the same road to Kathmandu and fly back to Delhi. The border point used, Kerung or Zhangmu, depends on the permit and the border status, and is confirmed at booking.
This is a private package and is separate from the Ministry of External Affairs yatra through Lipulekh and Nathu La. Because the trip is at very high altitude, we carry emergency oxygen with the group leader and ask every guest for a medical check before booking. The 12 day plan is compact, so we suggest adding one or two extra days for acclimatization, and we can quote a longer plan on request.
₹2,20,000 per person, twin sharing

Travel Tips and Guidelines
- Get a medical check. Take a full medical check from your doctor before booking. The trip goes above 5,600 metres. People with heart, lung or blood pressure problems should check carefully.
- Train before you go. Start walking 5 to 6 km daily at least 6 weeks before the yatra. Climb stairs and practise slow breathing.
- Carry the right ID. You need a passport valid for at least 6 months, passport photos and other documents for the Chinese visa. We tell you the full list at booking.
- Pack warm and light. Carry thermal wear, a down jacket, rain gear, a cap, gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen and trekking shoes. Nights are below freezing.
- Respect the holy sites. Do not litter or touch the sacred sites. Follow the guide on photography. Hindus and Buddhists walk the parikrama clockwise, and Bon followers walk it anticlockwise.
- Add acclimatization days. The 12 day plan climbs fast. If you can, add one or two days at Kathmandu or Nyalam, as extra days make the trip safer and more comfortable.
- Expect basic rooms. Rooms in Tibet are simple, with shared toilets at some places. Hot water and power can be limited. Carry a power bank and wet wipes.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions, temple timings or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather, road closures or flight cancellations is payable by the guest.

The yatra season is roughly May to September, when roads are open and the weather is more stable. Chinese rules, permits, border dates and the Saga Dawa festival period can change the exact dates each year, so batches are fixed only after permits are confirmed. Night temperatures at Darchen and Dirapuk can drop below freezing, even in summer. Entry rules, visa fees and route points change often, so our team confirms the current rules before you pay.
