Trip Overview
Mount Kailash is the highest snow-capped mountain peak, located in western Tibet near Nepal and India. The trip to Mount Kailash is filled with religious and spiritual journey that you can experience once in a lifetime. You will also be able to explore the natural beauty of both Nepalese and Tibetan sights.
It is a sacred site for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bons. It is believed that the snow- capped mountain peak is a home of Lord Shiva where he resides with his wife, Goddess Parvati. Every year, pilgrims from all around the world come to worship this holy mountain. There is a belief that circumambulating Mt. Kailash on foot will remove your sins and bring good fortune. The circumambulation/ Kora around Mt. Kailash can only be completed after taking a holy bath in Lake Manasarovar.
The sacred journey to Mount Kailash starts with a road trip from Kathmandu to Nepal- China border.
