13Nights /14 Days Kailash Manasarovar Yatra 2025

Package Overview

Tibet, in southern China, is a sacred pilgrimage site revered by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains, and Bon followers. It is home to Mt. Kailash (6714m), believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva by Hindus, a site of enlightenment for Buddhists, and a place of liberation for Jains. Devotees perform a holy circumambulation (Kora) around the mountain. Nearby, Manasarovar Lake— “Lake of Consciousness”—adds to the spiritual allure with its vast beauty and rich biodiversity.

• Day 8 : Drive to Darchen (4550m, 40 km-1-hour drive)

  Waking up early in the calm and revered atmosphere of Lake Manasarovar cannot be expressed in words. The name of the Lake is mentioned in the epic Hindu scripture Ramayana. In Hindu belief, this Lake was created by God Brahma (creator of the Universe).
  It is also believed that Lord Shiva and Parvati purified themselves in its sacred water. Buddhists, on the other hand, believe it is the Lake where the Gods transported Buddha after his birth to cleanse him.
  The Lake is positioned at the foot of Mount Kailash, surrounded by the Swastika Mountain (Gurla Mandhata) and the revered Chiu Monastery of Guru Rimpoche (Padmasambhava). It is delicately separated from the saltwater lake of Rakshastal (Demon's Lake).
  The circumnavigation of Mount Kailash is incomplete without the parikrama of Lake Manasarovar. Therefore, we will bathe in the water of the Lake (Direct bathing in the Lake is prohibited). Then, we will perform some Pooja on the shores of the Lake and begin the circumambulation of the Lake, which can be completed within 4 to 5 hours. If we have energy left, we can go on a delightful exploration of Chiu Gompa, translated as Little Bird. The monastery is said to be a Padmasambhava meditation spot.
  After the monastery visit, we will now drive to Darchen, nestled at the majestic foothills of the revered Kailash. Within an hour, we will arrive at Darchen - the starting point of the sacred Kora around Mount Kailash. After dinner, our tour guide will conduct a group briefing before starting Kora.

  • Themes Sightseeing
• Day 9 : Trek from Darchen to Dirapuk (4,950m), 18km walk.

  We will begin our Parikrama/Kora from today. Today, we have to walk for 13 km and reach the northern face of Kailash by evening. The path lies along the western slope of Kailash. The trail is quite easy, stretching out in a straight line with gentle ups and downs.
  After walking for about 5 km, we will reach Tarboche- the entrance gate to Kailash. The gate is known as Yamadwar by Hindu believers. Tibetan followers hang many Tibetan flags here every year to celebrate Sagadawa (white month).
  It is elevated at 15,500 ft above sea level. According to Hindu beliefs, the gate is guarded by the Lord Yama (God of Death), who lets only pure souls pass through this gate.
  From Tarboche, we now head along the 13 km trail to reach the Dirapuk monastery. The monastery provides accommodation in shared lodging. During the busy season, it also provides a camping ground for pilgrims. The monastery gazes directly at the North face of Kailash.
  Our first day of Kora ends upon reaching Dirapuk, which signifies the birth of a new phase in spiritual existence.
