Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra

The 10 Days Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra is a journey that blends spiritual depth with high-altitude adventure. The trip combines a tour to two of the holiest locations in the world: Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake. These two locations hold significant importance across various religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon.

The tour begins at the Tibet border and continues through dramatic landscapes and remote villages until you reach these two deeply revered sites. Mount Kailash, standing at 6,714 meters, is considered the abode of Lord Shiva. Walking the Kailash Parikrama (or Kora) around this sacred mountain is the highlight of the trip, offering not only a physical challenge but also a deeply personal spiritual experience. Just nearby lies Lake Mansarovar, a crystal-clear lake where pilgrims often take a ritual bath to purify their body and soul. The peaceful energy of the lake, combined with stunning Himalayan views, makes this part of the journey unforgettable.

Furthermore, our carefully designed 10-day itinerary provides you with the opportunity to explore Tibetan culture, visit ancient monasteries, interact with monks and locals, and even witness the renowned Kailash Saga Dawa festival, which takes place in May. With altitudes ranging from 2,700 to over 5,600 meters, this journey is both challenging and rewarding.

How to Reach Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar?

Horse Ride during Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar

The easiest and most popular way to reach Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake is by an overland trip starting from Kathmandu, Nepal. From Kathmandu, you travel north to Timure, cross the Rasuwagadhi border, and enter Kyirong, the first stop on the Tibetan side. After resting and getting used to the altitude, the journey continues through Saga, Paryang, and Lake Mansarovar, finally reaching Darchen, the starting point for the Kailash Parikrama (Kora) trek. If you have more days for travel you could also choose 15 days Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

 

Similarly, pilgrims from India often use other routes to reach Kailash. This includes trekking from the Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand or the Nathu La Pass in Sikkim. These routes are organized by the Indian government. Another popular but longer option starts from Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and goes to Saga and Darchen. While you won’t be reaching Kailash from Lhasa or spending days in Lhasa in our 10-day Kailash Tour package, it still covers the most important spiritual and natural sites of the Kailash Yatra.

The Spiritual Significance of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar

Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake are two of the most sacred sites for Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bonin. For Hindus, Mount Kailash, also known as Kailash Parvat, is the spiritual centre of the universe, the divine abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Whereas in Tibetan Buddhism, it is known as Mount Meru, the central pillar of the spiritual universe. Likewise, Jains believe it to be the site where their first Tirthankara attained liberation, and for Bon followers, it is the seat of spiritual power.

Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar

To date, the mountain remains untouched by human footsteps, not due to its difficulty, but out of deep reverence. Climbing is strictly prohibited. Instead of climbing it, pilgrims perform a ritual Kora (circumambulation) around the mountain. Completing one full circuit (approximately 52 km) is believed to cleanse one’s sins of a lifetime, while 108 Kora rounds are said to lead to enlightenment or salvation.

Similarly, holy Lake Manasarovar is equally spiritually significant. This high-altitude freshwater lake is considered the origin of purity and creation, and is often referred to as the “womb of the universe.” Hindus believe that taking a ritual bath in the holy waters can cleanse past sins. However, it’s discouraged to bathe directly in the lake, but pilgrims can still perform symbolic cleansing rituals using water drawn from a bucket. Many pilgrims also meditate or walk along its shoreline. Together, Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake offer a powerful spiritual journey that blends devotion, natural wonder, and inner reflection.

Weather and Temperature in Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra

The weather and temperature at Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar change with the seasons and are generally cold throughout the year due to their high elevation. Both places sit above 4,500 meters, so the air is thinner and temperatures are usually 5 to 10°C lower than in nearby lowland areas. Also, the sun’s UV rays are stronger.

The following table summarises the year-long temperature per month on average in the Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake Yatra:

Month Daytime Average Temperature (°C) Night time Average Temperature (°C)
January -8°C to -6°C -21°C to -18°C
February -5.1°C -16.6°C
March -2.2°C -12.8°C
April-June 8°C to 15°C -2°C to 5°C
July-August 10°C to 18°C 0°C to 6°C
September 6°C to 14°C -3°C to 3°C
October 2°C to 10°C -5°C to -2°C
November-December -5°C to5°C -15°C to -25°C

Challenges of Visiting Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar

Oxygen Deficiency

It is no joke for a pilgrim to reach an elevation of 5,630 meters above sea level. The oxygen deficiency will be a challenge for you if you are not an advanced trekker or a traveler who has previously visited high-altitude regions. It’s essential to go slow on your journey and take measures as soon as you see symptoms of oxygen deficiency or altitude sickness. Symptoms include headache, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. 

Unpredictable Weather Conditions

The weather in the Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra, especially in the Kailash region, is unpredictable. In the higher altitudes, you never know when the sunshine can change into a snowstorm. It is common for temperatures to shift from +15 degrees Celsius to -10 degrees Celsius. Always check the weather forecast before your trip begins. 

Demanding Trails

Kailash Parikrama will take you through steep pathways, whether it needs you to ascend upwards or descend downwards. The roads are not paved and mostly remote. On top of that, the high altitude can make it harder to breathe, and many travelers may feel tired, dizzy, or even nauseous due to the lower oxygen levels. Proper acclimatization and physical fitness are important to handle these demanding conditions.

Limited Medical Facilities 

Medical support along the Kailash trail is very limited. In case of illness or injury, help may not be available right away. That’s why every traveller needs to carry essential medications and a basic first-aid kit. In rare but serious cases, helicopter evacuation may be needed, so it’s wise to arrange travel insurance that covers high-altitude emergencies before your journey begins.

Basic Amenities

The accommodation conditions at Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra may not always be luxurious. Most remote locations, which are the landmarks of your journey, will have basic amenities that are comfortable enough to accommodate you and serve you overall. Also, you have to share rooms, toilets, and other facilities. You may not always enjoy a hot water facility, either. 

Required permits and permissions for the Tour

Like any other long-day trek, the Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar tour requires collecting some necessary permits to touch the foot of Mount Kailash. These permits and permissions include:

Chinese Visa

To visit Mount Kailash in Tibet, international tourists must obtain a Chinese visa, as Tibet is part of China. Tourists from Australia, New Zealand, Poland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, and Singapore can now enter China without a visa for 15 to 30 days. If you’re unsure about whether you need a Chinese visa, contact us for more information.

Tibet Travel Permit

Another document you need for the Tibet tour is a Tibet Travel Permit, also known as the Tibet Visa. This permit is required for any travel within Tibet, and without it, you can’t board a train or plane to get there from mainland China. Thankfully, obtaining the permit is easy with our assistance. Simply book your Mount Kailash tour with us and send us copies of your passport and Chinese visa. We’ll then take care of the permit application for you.

How to Prepare for Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra?

It is a requisite for one to prepare for the Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra before their trip begins. This journey involves high altitudes and physically demanding terrain, so building your fitness is key. Focus on daily cardio exercises like walking, jogging, or cycling for 1-2 hours to improve stamina. Also, do some exercises to make your legs and core stronger. You can practice hiking nearby with a backpack to get used to walking for hours.

Another thing you need to learn is proper altitude acclimatization. Take rest days and don’t rush, so your body can adjust. Bring any medicine your doctor recommends and drink plenty of water. Furthermore, make sure you have all the permits and travel insurance before you leave. Also, check the currency requirements and exchange money in advance to avoid inconvenience. Last but not least, be mindful of the culture of the location you are traveling to. Stay respectful and ethical throughout your journey.

Questions Asked by Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra

Kailash Mansarovar Yarta have humbled me

Puskar Khadka, May, 2025, Nepal

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra was unlike any other trip I’ve ever done. We started with a drive from Kathmandu to Timmure, and I could already feel how different this journey would be. Crossing into Tibet and arriving in Kyirung felt like I was in a different world. By the time we reached Saga and then Lake Mansarovar, the altitude was kicking in but the beauty of the surrounding made it worth every second. The first view of Mount Kailash gave me goosebumps.

The kora days were tough. I won’t lie, the altitude made it hard, and it took everything out of me. But something about walking in the shadow of Kailash shifted something inside me. When we completed the circuit and made our way back to Kathmandu through Saga and Kyirung, I felt different. I was physically drained but spiritually lifted. It’s not an easy trip, but I’d do it all over again to get that inner relief.

Tough roads in Kailash Yatra but sacred rewards

I joined this trip with a group of fellow pilgrims and didn't know what to expect. The long drives through Nepal and Tibet tested our patience at times, but it gave us a chance to bond and appreciate the changing views. Lake Mansarovar was a turning point. Even though the water was freezing, doing the symbolic bath felt like washing away years of heaviness. The trek around Mount Kailash pushed me beyond my comfort zone. The climb up Dolma La left me breathless (literally), but also gave me this strange sense of peace I've never known. Coming back down and walking those final hours made me feel emotional and the drive back was quieter. It's hard to describe, but this trip brought something into my life I didn't know was missing.
