HOLY MOUNT KAILASH OVERLAND TOUR VIA KYRUNG – 13 Nights/ 14 Days

This is one of the easiest and most economical route to undertake the Holy Mt. Kailash & Mansarovar Yatra, starting from Kathmandu. The yatra begins with Pilgrimage tour in Nepal including the Holy Pashupatinath temple, before proceeding by surface to Timure Border. For those seeking added comfort, an optional helicopter transfer from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi / Timure is available at an additional cost of USD 1,500 per person (one way). From the border, the journey continues through Kyrung, Saga, Paryang, leading to the sacred Lake Mansarovar. Here, perform holy puja, hawan, tarpan, and personal purification rituals. Proceed to Darchen to begin the holy Mount Kailash Parikrama, covering Dirapuk and Zuthulpuk. Upon completion of the yatra, pilgrims return to Kathmandu, where holy water offering and puja at Lord Pashupatinath Temple are performed, marking the spiritual conclusion of the journey.
