Kailash Mansarovar Overland Tour 13 Days with Glorious Eco Trek Nepal, towering at 22,000 feet, is believed to be the spiritual home of Lord Shiva. Every year, thousands of pilgrims brave this challenging journey to seek his blessings and purify themselves with a dip in the sacred waters of Mansarovar Lake.
In Tibetan Buddhism, Kailash is the abode of Demchok, the Buddha of supreme bliss. For Jains, it’s known as Mount Ashtapada, where their first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, is said to have attained liberation. The Bon religion also regards Kailash as the dwelling place of the Sky Goddess. Besides its spiritual significance, the region is known for its breathtaking landscapes and remote Tibetan culture.
Our Kailash Mansarovar Overland Tour is carefully designed to give you plenty of time for acclimatization and exploration, ensuring you fully experience this sacred journey.
On this unique tour, you’ll pass through remote villages, meet nomadic herders, and witness flocks of yaks, sheep, and mountain goats grazing in the wild. It’s a rare opportunity to travel to an isolated world where modern life feels distant, and nature reigns supreme.
The journey begins with the first glimpse of Kailash’s southern face from near Mansarovar Lake. Pilgrims gather here for special prayers and chants. The route takes you past the iconic Tarboche Flagpole, and onward to the stunning Lha Chu Valley, a place of natural beauty surrounded by striking red rock formations and towering cliffs.
The 13-day Kailash Mansarovar Overland Tour starts in Kathmandu, where we drive to the Kerung border, then onward to Saga or New Dongba, before reaching the sacred Mansarovar Lake. From there, the adventure continues to Darchen and the start of the Kailash trek. This overland tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to walk in the footsteps of pilgrims and connect deeply with the sacred spirit of Kailash and Mansarovar.

Choose Glorious Eco Trek Nepal for a safe, comfortable, and spiritually fulfilling journey to Kailash Mansarovar.
Preparing for the Kailash Mansarovar Overland Tour is an exciting journey in itself. Here are some tips to help you get ready for this spiritual and physically demanding adventure:
The Kailash Mansarovar Overland Tour involves traveling at high altitudes, so physical fitness is important. It’s helpful to have experience with high-altitude treks, and if you’ve completed treks like the Annapurna Base Camp Trek or the Langtang Valley Trek, you’ll be better prepared for the altitude and terrain. If not, we recommend doing some shorter treks like the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek to build your stamina.
Altitude sickness is a common concern for trekkers in the Himalayas. To prepare, you can start by trekking in areas with similar altitudes. For example, the Everest Base Camp Trek or the Manaslu Circuit Trek offer good opportunities to acclimatize before your Kailash journey. It’s essential to listen to your body, rest when needed, and drink plenty of water.
The journey to Kailash and Mansarovar is not only physically demanding but also spiritually enriching. You’ll experience remote, rugged landscapes, and it’s important to be mentally prepared for the physical and emotional challenges. Having completed treks like the Annapurna Circuit Trek With Tilicho Lake or the Everest Base Camp Heli Return Trek, you’ll be accustomed to the mental toughness required for such journeys.
Consult a doctor before your trip to ensure you’re fit for high-altitude travel. Make sure you have the necessary vaccinations and carry any required medications. You can also consider carrying basic medical supplies, especially if you’ve undertaken longer treks like the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, where being self-sufficient in remote areas is crucial.
Packing for Kailash Mansarovar requires careful planning. You’ll need warm clothes, sturdy trekking shoes, a good sleeping bag, and basic trekking gear. Don’t forget your passport, permits, and any personal items you might need during the journey.
In the months leading up to your trip, engage in regular cardio and strength training exercises to improve your fitness. Hiking, running, and cycling are excellent ways to build the stamina required for the high-altitude journey. If you’ve previously done any of the longer treks, such as the Manaslu Circuit Trek, you’ll be familiar with the level of fitness needed for this adventure.
Glorious Eco Trek Nepal offers pre-trip briefings and orientations for all participants. These sessions provide important information about the tour, the itinerary, and tips on handling the altitude. Joining these briefings will help you feel more confident and prepared.
The Kailash Mansarovar journey is not just a physical trek; it’s a deeply spiritual experience. Familiarize yourself with the cultural and religious significance of Kailash to make the most of your experience. Understanding the importance of the journey will enhance your connection with the sacred sites.
