Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Kerung by Bus – Foreigners

The day starts with breakfast before heading out to explore some of Kathmandu’s most revered spiritual sites. This sightseeing tour also serves as an important step in preparing mentally and spiritually for the sacred pilgrimage.

The tour includes visits to:

• Pashupatinath Temple, one of the most sacred temples dedicated to Lord Shiva

• Boudhanath Stupa, a UNESCO World Heritage Buddhist monument

• Budhanilkantha Temple, famous for the reclining statue of Lord Vishnu

After the tour, return to the hotel and finalize your preparations for the journey ahead.

Following breakfast, drive to the Rasuwagadhi border where immigration formalities for both Nepal and China will be completed. After entering Tibet, you will meet the Tibetan guide and continue the journey toward Kerung.

Kerung is a small town surrounded by impressive mountain landscapes and serves as the first stop inside Tibet for travelers heading to Mount Kailash.

This day is reserved for rest and acclimatization to help your body adjust to the higher altitude. Spending time at this elevation before traveling further into Tibet helps reduce the chances of altitude sickness.

You may take short walks around Kerung town, enjoy the peaceful environment, and experience the local Tibetan culture.

Continue your journey deeper into Tibet with a drive toward Saga. The route passes through wide open valleys, high mountain passes, and remote Tibetan landscapes.

Along the way, travelers can enjoy breathtaking views of the Himalayan range and vast plateaus that define the Tibetan region.

Today’s drive takes you to the sacred Lake Mansarovar, one of the holiest pilgrimage destinations in Asia. The journey passes through dramatic landscapes and high-altitude terrain before reaching the lake.

Upon arrival, pilgrims can perform religious rituals, meditation, and take a sacred bath in the lake’s crystal-clear waters, which are believed to purify the soul.

The Kailash Parikrama begins today. After breakfast, start trekking from Darchen toward Dirapuk Monastery, which lies at the base of Mount Kailash’s northern face.

This section of the trek is relatively gradual and offers magnificent views of the sacred mountain, making it one of the most memorable parts of the pilgrimage

Today is the most challenging day of the trek as pilgrims cross Dolma La Pass, the highest point of the Kailash Parikrama. The trail climbs steadily before reaching the pass and then descends toward the valley.

Along the route, you will pass Gauri Kund, a sacred lake associated with Hindu mythology. The trek eventually leads to Zuthulpuk Monastery.

After breakfast, complete the final section of the Kailash Parikrama by trekking back to the point where vehicles are waiting.

Once the trek is finished, continue by road to Saga while enjoying the scenic Tibetan plateau.

Begin the return journey today as you travel from Saga back toward Kerung. The drive once again passes through stunning Tibetan landscapes and high-altitude plains.

This route provides another opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty of the region.

After breakfast, drive to the border and complete the exit formalities from Tibet. Once the immigration process is finished, continue the journey back to Kathmandu.

Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel and relax after the long but fulfilling pilgrimage.

Today is a leisure day where travelers can rest or explore Kathmandu at their own pace. You may visit nearby markets, purchase souvenirs, or explore additional cultural landmarks

After breakfast, our team will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport for your departure flight. Your Kailash Mansarovar Yatra concludes with unforgettable memories of this sacred journey.
