Mount Kailash is famed as the Roof of the World, the Tibet Autonomous Region has fascinated by mankind. This mysterious land was forbidden not only by man but also by nature. An average elevation of 4,000 m. is bounded by the Kunlun Mountains to the north and the Himalayas to the south. People have been visiting Kailash - Mansarovar for centuries. Almost all the major passes of Himalayas lead to Kailash - Mansarovar.

For the devoted pilgrims a visit to Mt. Kailash & Lake Mansorovar forms the ultimate realization of their spiritual hobby. And for the adventure-lovers it offers craggy beauty, remoteness and isolation. The tour is visit to Kailash during the annual Buddhist festival of Saga Dawa while most of the other trips are planned to arrive at Mt. Kailash during the full moon period to give all participants a rare experience. A journey truly called `never-to -be-repeated'.

We offer following special fixed departure date to Mt. Kailash & Lake Manasorovar yatra to make easy pilgrims & foreign tourists. We are probably one of the few outfits that provide Nepali Sherpa staff support for all of our trips in Tibet so as to assurance similar high quality services that exist in Nepal . All trips are planned to arrive at Kailash on a full-moon day to obtain total & unhindered view of the holy mountain.

Our associates and we will put every effort to make your journey smooth and pleasant.
We welcome you all to experience the bliss & magic of being at Mt. Kailash & Lake Manasorovar with us.
