Kailash Mansarovar Overland Tour – 13 Days

Kathmandu, the city of culture, welcomes you!

Our representative with a placard will greet you and pick you up from the arrival gate in Tribhuvan International Airport. Without delay, we will take you to the Hotel of your choice in Kathmandu, where you can rest for a while.

You can also explore some nearby places if you wish to. You can also try different cuisines around the city.

Glorious Eco Trek Nepal will host welcome dinner to honor you in the evening. After this, you will meet your trek guide and other members, who will walk you through all the essential information about the Kailash Mansarovar Overland tour.

You will stay overnight in your Hotel in Kathmandu.

Our package is even more intriguing because we also include a short tour of Kathmandu Valley. The capital city is home to seven among ten World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO.

Due to time limitations, we won’t be able to see all of them. So, we will take you to Pashupatinath Temple, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, and Bouddhanath.

After your breakfast, our representative will reach your hotel and pick you up for today’s exploring around the city. We begin by visiting the three Durbar Squares, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar square, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. These were the royal palaces of the Malla Kings. 

After this, we will take you to Bouddhanath. The architecture and carvings in these palaces are breathtakingly beautiful. The peaceful sound of the bells and the calming aura of this place make you want to sit here in silence forever.

We will take you to Pashupatinath Temple in the evening, devoted to Lord Shiva. Hindu worshippers highly value this pilgrimage. The evening will be the perfect time for visiting this temple because of the Aarati ceremony conducted every evening. 

You can buy anything that catches your attention during this trip and buy things you feel are necessary for your trekking. After a long and meaningful day of exploring, we will drop you at your Hotel, where you can have dinner and rest for tomorrow.

Today we will leave Kathmandu and head towards the kerung Border. Today is the first day of our spiritual trip to Mt. Kailash. We begin our magnificent 8-hour ride to the Tibet border after an early breakfast at the Hotel.

After crossing the friendship bridge, we are greeted by our Tibetan guide and drivers. Our journey to Kerung Village continues after we complete all of the immigration and customs formalities at the Chinese checkpoint. We’ll stay at a simple guest house for the night.

We will have an Acclimatization day on day four of the Kailash & Mansarover overland tour. Today is a day of rest to allow for adequate acclimatization. We will have a leisurely walk or go on a short hike in preparation for the Kailash trek, which will help us acclimate quickly. Staying at a guest house for the night.

After breakfast in Kerung, we begin our journey to New Dongba, traveling through several lovely but traditional yak herder villages and camps. On our distant south, we can see snow-capped mountain summits.

However, we will be driving over the plains most of the time, resulting in a pleasant journey. After arriving at New Dongba, we shall enjoy a cup of hot tea. We are staying at a guest house for the night.

We’ll be ready for the longest travel day after an early breakfast. Begin an incredible journey to Mansarovar, where we will get our first glimpse of Holy Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.

We continue to sacred Mansarovar (4550m), the world’s highest freshwater lake with a turquoise hue, teeming with fish and swans. It is surrounded by holy Mt. Kailash, Mt. Gurula-Mandala, and Lake Rakshash.

On the Seventh Day of the Kailash Mansarovar Overland tour, you will explore the holy Mansarovar – the lake of compassion, peace, and bliss – after breakfast to glimpse the spiritual world.

Following the morning tour, we will travel by Land Cruiser to the Holy Mansarovar circuit with a packed lunch and continue our journey to Darchen. If time allows, we will go to Chui Gompa. Darchen is the starting point for the Holy Kailash journey.

During the auspicious pilgrimage season, this location will be filled with pilgrims, with hundreds of tents erected. Darchen guest house for the night.

Tarbuche is the starting point for our first day of trekking over Kailash. We pass through countless chortens (stupas) along the journey and the sky burial site of the 84 Mahasiddas.

To begin the Trek, we will drive through the Yama Dwaar — the Gate of the God of Death (Kora). We’ll also get great views of cascading creeks, rushing waterfalls, and Kailash’s tremendous west face.

We’ll pass through the Chukku monastery to the Dirapuk monastery, where we’ll spend the night in a mud home. After some relaxation and lunch, a short hike to visit Kailash’s awe-inspiring north face will be undertaken.

We climb a rocky incline littered with stone cairns draped with clothing left as offerings by previous pilgrims.

Following a short break at the top of Dolma-La pass (5700m) with a magnificent view of Gaurikunda, we will descend the steep trail and walk on a flat river valley to our eventual campsite at Zutulpuk monastery. 

A three-hour gradual downhill walk along the river on the final day of the Kailash journey brings us to the Barkha plain, where the river emerges. Today we will drive back to Saga.

On the eleventh day, we will drive back to Kerung from Saga. You will have a long day drive towards the Kerung Border. Once again, you will have to stay in kerung Boarder before returning to Kathmandu.

We have our breakfast, and we leave for Kathmandu through the same route we came. We reach Kathmandu with the memories of the remarkable tour that we will get to cherish forever.

As you reach Kathmandu, we will take you to your hotel, where you can rest for a while. Over a farewell dinner, you can say goodbye to the team members. After this, we can still explore Kathmandu for a while and return to the hotel. 

You will stay overnight in the Hotel.

Our representative will drive you to the Tribhuvan International Airport once more on the departure day before your departure flight. If your leisure time, you can still explore nearby places and eateries.
