Asia

Kailash Mansarovar.

The hardest journey we arrange, and the one people spend a life intending to do. Overland via Kerung, or flying in via Lhasa. Best months: May–September only; Saga Dawa and full-moon departures book first.

Why people go

  • Both routings are the NEPAL route, which is genuinely sellable — the Government of India's own yatra is a ballot and cannot be bought from any agent
  • The Lhasa routing acclimatises properly, which materially changes who completes the parikrama
  • Tibet group visa and every permit arranged through an established operator

What we'll ask you first

  • Your honest walking fitness — the parikrama is 42 km at 4,600–5,630 m
  • Any cardiac condition, hypertension, asthma or epilepsy; these are absolute contraindications
  • Whether Muktinath would give you what you are actually after, because for many people it would
