Whether you’re a pilgrim or an explorer seeking untouched Himalayan beauty, the Kathmandu–Kailash overland route delivers a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Mt. Kailash Tour – A Sacred Journey for Pilgrims & Spiritual Seekers Mount Kailash, located in the Tibetan Plateau, is one of the most sacred destinations in the world — revered by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers. It is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva, and completing the Kailash Parikrama (Kora) is said to cleanse lifelong karma and bring spiritual liberation.
The best time for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra falls in May through September. The weather conditions during this period are stabilizing; the roads are open, and the chances of extreme snowfall are appallingly less. During the Kora, the temperatures in the daytime are around 5-15 Degrees Celsius, whereas it varies from -10 to -15 Degrees Celsius during the nighttime, especially near Dolma La Pass.
