Are you looking for a journey that honors a millennia-long history, faith, and spiritual ties? Then, welcome to our Kailash Mansarovar tour through which you will feel the energy of Mount Kailash, the most sacred peak for Hindus, Bons, Jains, and Buddhists for ages.
Here, Prime Holidays Travels and Tours would like to promise you that our Kailash Mansarovar tour will not only inspire you for a deep reflection but will also let you appreciate the breathtaking culture and tradition of the region.
However, be prepared, for our calming 9 nights 10 days Kailash Mansarovar tour will push your physical limits but will also help you admire the endless beauty of the world around you.
At 6638 m, Mount Kailash in the Ngari prefecture of western Tibet is the untouched and unconquered mountain on Earth. People call it the Umbilical Cord of the World.
For Hindus, it is the peak where Lord Shiva and Parvati reside. Its four sides symbolize the four faces of Shiva, each facing a cardinal direction of the Universe.
It is the sacred dwelling of Buddha Padmasambhava for Buddhists, while Jains regard it as the Nirvana site of their Master Rishabhadeva, and Kailash itself is projected as Mount Ashtapad. For Bon followers, Kailash is the center of their Sgang Shung, the birthplace of their faith.
Lake Mansarovar, on the other hand, sitting at 4600 m below Kailash, is said to have come from Lord Brahma’s mind, a creator god. It has a solar shape and contains life-giving waters unlike its nearby counterpart, Rakshas Tal.
It is believed that those who bathe in its pious water will reach Brahma’s heaven after death, thus attaining the immortal salvation. And, those who perform the puja rituals on its edge will wash away all their negative Karma of a hundred past lives.
That’s why each year, pilgrims from all over the world gather in Kailash to walk around both the lake and the mountain. Hindus and Buddhists go clockwise, while Bons walk counterclockwise. Hindus refer to this journey as Parikrama, while Buddhists and Bons call it Kora.
However, the purpose of their Kailash Mansarovar tour is the same: to honor the deities that live here and in return seek the protection from illness, negative Karma, and evil spirits.
We will also make the same journey and walk the 53 km outer circuit of Kailash that starts and ends in Darchen, displaying the incredible sight of the north face of Kailash. Your route in our Kailash Mansarovar tour will follow the Kerung border, driving through Saga to Lake Mansarovar.
After performing a puja, worship, and parikrama of Lake Mansarovar, your trek around Kailash begins the next day lasting three days. The second day will be particularly hard as you will cross the imposing Dolma La Pass (5630 m), the highest and most challenging part of our 9 nights 10 days Kailash Mansarovar tour.
Overall, this tour is going to be quite a challenge for both your physical and financial health. However, as a solution, we have included enough acclimatization days for your physical health, while we have eliminated the Lhasa flight altogether.
Instead, we will drive in and drive out of Tibet in a private four-wheel vehicle, thus lightening the financial load on your wallet. Further, you can also hire horses, yaks, and porters for your Kailash parikrama.
March through October is the perfect time for our Kailash Mansarovar tour. It is open to anyone in decent health who truly wants to experience Kailash and Mansarovar at least once in their lifetime.
Note
The upcoming 2026 is going to be really special for the Kailash Mansarovar tour, especially for Buddhist pilgrims. It is the Horse Year, and during this time, circling around Kailash will give you merit that is equal to what you will earn by going around the mountain thirteen times in other years.
Remember, the Horse Year comes around every 12 years, so don’t let this amazing opportunity slip by. Book our Kailash Mansarovar tour for 2026 now!
