After a nourishing breakfast, embark on a comfortable 4 to 5-hour journey by air-conditioned coach to Nepalgunj, the vital transit hub for your Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. As the landscape unfolds, allow your mind to prepare for the spiritual voyage ahead.

In the evening, gather for a detailed Yatra briefing led by our experienced guides and spiritual mentors. This session will cover essential travel protocols, cultural insights, and sacred practices to enhance your pilgrimage.

Retire for the night in comfort at Hotel Siddhartha, Hotel Cygnett, or a similar premium accommodation, resting well for the journey to come.

At the break of dawn, you will be transferred to the airport to board your flight to Simikot. Upon arrival, take some time to rest and acclimatize in this serene mountain town, nestled amidst the Himalayan foothills.

Next, embark on a breathtaking helicopter journey from Simikot to Hilsa, a vital border town where the spiritual aura of the yatra begins to deepen. After regrouping with fellow pilgrims, commence your drive to Purang — a place steeped in ancient cultural and spiritual significance.

Flight details:

• Nepalgunj to Simikot: Approximately 40-50 minutes by fixed-wing aircraft
• Simikot to Hilsa: Scenic 10-20 minute helicopter ride offering panoramic Himalayan views

Evening arrival at Purang will see you resting comfortably at Hotel Purang or Hotel Himalaya, or a similarly hospitable accommodation, ready to embrace the next stage of your sacred journey

Today is about finding your balance in Purang’s serene surroundings. Take the time to physically adjust to the elevation and mentally prepare for the challenges of the Kailash Parikrama. A brief walk can help ease your body into the rhythm of the journey ahead.

Purang’s marketplace offers essential gear and supplies—trekking poles, water containers for sacred Mansarovar waters, and more. Engage with locals and navigate the markets confidently; bargaining here is part of the experience.

Rest well tonight to face tomorrow’s pilgrimage with renewed energy.

Begin the day with a comfortable drive of approximately two hours in an air-conditioned Volvo bus from Purang to the revered Mansarovar Lake. Upon arrival, prepare to undertake the sacred parikrama—a 105 km circumambulation around this holy lake, an act of deep spiritual significance.

Take a cleansing dip in the pristine waters of Mansarovar and perform heartfelt pujas to honor the divine energy that permeates this sacred site. As you approach the lake, catch your first breathtaking view of the majestic Kailash Parvat—a sight that stirs profound reverence and awe.

Spend the night at a guest house near Mansarovar Lake, surrounded by the serene spiritual ambiance. Weather permitting, experience the tranquil beauty of the lake either late at night or during Brahm Muhurt (pre-dawn hours), a time considered especially auspicious for meditation and prayer.

After a brief drive from the tranquil shores of Mansarovar Lake, arrive at Darchen—the starting point for the revered Kailash Parikrama and the sacred Ashtapad darshan. This humble town serves as the spiritual basecamp where pilgrims gather their strength and focus for the journey ahead.

Visiting Ashtapad is subject to special permission from Chinese authorities and will be included if granted.

Rest overnight in the comfort of Hotel Himalaya or a similar establishment, preparing yourself for the transformative trek to come.

Rise early and travel to Yamdwar, the gateway to the sacred Parikrama of Mount Kailash. From here, embark on the first stretch of the pilgrimage — a 10 km trek around the base of the mountain. Witness the awe-inspiring North Face of Mount Kailash, considered the most auspicious and spiritually powerful side, a sight that leaves devotees deeply blessed and enlightened.

For those who prefer not to trek, transportation back to Darchen is available—a short 30-minute journey. Pilgrims resting in Darchen will spend two nights in a guesthouse, enjoying serene views of Kailash Parvat and engaging in puja rituals from this vantage point.

Note: Parikrama participation is flexible. Some may choose to walk, others may ride horses, and some, especially elders, may opt to stay in Darchen. Meals and accommodation will be provided accordingly. Those in Darchen will rejoin the main group after completing the third day of Parikrama.

On the second day of your Kailash Parikrama, prepare for a demanding trek spanning around 22 kilometers, starting from Dirapuk and crossing the highest point of the journey — the Dolma La Pass, which sits at an altitude of approximately 18,600 feet. This stretch is considered the most physically intense part of the pilgrimage.

The initial climb to the pass is steep and challenging, covering the first 6 to 7 kilometers. Take steady steps, pace yourself carefully, and rest as often as needed to safely conquer this ascent. Beyond Dolma La Pass, the terrain eases, and the trail descends gradually through peaceful landscapes towards Zuthulpuk.

During the trek, you will encounter Shivasthal, a spiritually significant place believed to bless offerings with divine rewards. You will also pass Gauri Kund, a sacred spring symbolizing purity and devotion. Along this path, the majestic East face of Mount Kailash reveals itself, inspiring awe and reverence.

After completing this day’s journey, you will rest overnight in comfortable guesthouse accommodation at Zuthulpuk, reflecting on the profound spiritual experiences of the day.

On the third day of your Kailash Parikrama, begin with an invigorating yet manageable 8 km trek, typically completed by mid-morning. This sacred stretch symbolizes the closing of the Parikrama circle around Mount Kailash, offering moments for reflection and gratitude.

After completing the trek, you will be driven back to Purang via Darchen, soaking in the serene landscape that has witnessed your spiritual journey. Rest and rejuvenate overnight at Hotel Purang or Hotel Himalaya, preparing your mind and body for the days ahead.

Begin your journey back with a comfortable drive from Hilsa in an AC luxury vehicle, soaking in the final glimpses of the sacred landscape. Then, take a helicopter flight to Simikot, followed by a connecting flight to Nepalgunj. From there, enjoy a smooth drive back to Lucknow.

Rest overnight at a deluxe hotel, reflecting on the profound experiences and spiritual growth gained during this transformative pilgrimage.

After a nourishing breakfast, you are free to proceed to your home destination, carrying with you the blessings of Lord Shiva and memories of a sacred journey that will inspire you for a lifetime.

Note: Itineraries may be subject to change or modification due to unavoidable circumstances.
