Kailash Mansarobar Overland Yatra

Kailash Mansarovar overland Yatra Tour is the holiest pilgrimage tour in Tibet via Nepal. All the travelers embarking for this tour will not only get the chance to visit the mystical Tibetan highlands at the roof of the world but also get chance to encircle Mt. Kailash, the holiest place on the Earth. It is believed that after being born as the human, one should visit the abode of Lord Shiva at least once in a lifetime. During this journey, we can feel the good thoughts and spiritual feelings within us.

This tour is the drive in drive out tour which initiates and ends at Kathmandu. We also can have a whole lot of Tibet touring experience during this journey. Starting pilgrimage tour from Pashupatinath and Budhanilkantha Darshan in Kathmandu, we head towards kerung via sabrubeshi. Then we will move to saga/dongba by enjoying the view of snow capped mountains. We will cross the high pass of Lalung La pass where a magnificent view of high Himalayas can be seen. Then we move towards the Kailash Mansarovar as we see the first glimpse of holy Kailash and sacred Lake Mansarovar area.

Similarly, we will have Mansarovar Parikrama by vehicle, Performing dip, Puja and other spiritual activities whole day in Mansarovar. Then we start our journey from Mansarovar to Diraphuk via Darchin. Early in the morning, we continue our trek from Diraphuk to Zhulthulphuk. In the next day, we start our trek from Zhulthulphuk to Saga/Dongba. From Saga/Dongba we take a ride to Kathmandu via Kerung. After reaching Kathmandu we will have an optional mountain flight in the morning which will give you closest view of mountains. Probably it will be the best for the travelers who are restricted by the time for trekking before Departure.

IMPORTANT PRE-DEPARTURE INFORMATION:

Clothing:
Casual wears and comfortable walking shoes are recommended to travel to Tibet. Be sure to bring warm clothing as nights and early mornings can be quite chilly to downright cold. Indian woman Pilgrims strictly advisable no Sari. Bring all the film, medicine, cosmetics, personal toilet items etc. that you will need from home as these are difficult if not impossible to obtain on the way. A small first aid kit is also a good idea. Also quite useful to have a route map, to know where you are going and have been each day.

What to take:
Winter wear: Gore-Tex material though expensive is highly recommended. Down jacket, raincoat or windbreakers, thermal under wears, Jackets, warm trousers & woolen shirts (cotton will also do), warm sweaters, woolen gloves, sun hat, sun glass, comfortable shoes, light leather boots in case of snow, woolen balaclava ('monkey cap') & scarf/dust mask to protect your eyes & nose from dust.

Bring with you:
Snacks along the way. Chocolates, dry fruit, toffees, glucose; 'namkeen' etc. Strong water bottle & water purifying tablets. Personal medical kit and Diamox tablet (for high altitude). Sun glasses (to protect your eyes from UV, which is especially strong in high altitudes). Sun block or sun screen lotion, wet tissues (Fresh-ones are excellent to wipe off the dust), clothes-line/clips, needle & thread, deo-spray (handy for smelly boots/feet and for a round of spray in the toilet tent!), toilet paper, torch & spare batteries, daypack (small shoulder bag), Camera & films, Binocular.

Health:
This is one of the toughest high altitude road journeys on earth. You must be physically fit - no other ways about that. Generally patients with asthma & heart problems have a problem acclimatizing to high altitudes. In your interests it is essential you should be examined by your doctor to know about your health condition and your ability to cope up with the rigors of high altitude travel for days in 'no road' conditions, extreme cold, dust, trekking to an altitude of 19500ft during the Parikrama, etc.

Altitude Sickness:
As you are traveling over high terrain, you are likely to experience symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness (headache, loss of appetite, nausea, exhaustion, sleeplessness, breathlessness etc.) until your body adjusts to the elevation. This can take a couple of days or more depending on an individual. For this reason alone, we have made it mandatory to stay 2 nights at Purang (12000ft) before moving on to the higher altitudes. Drink plenty of water, be calm, and do not exercise. Do not drink alcohol or smoke prior to and during the tour. We also recommend you carry a strip of diamox tablets. Do consult your physician on the dosage. We provide Gamow bag (a special equipment to prevent sickness from high altitude) on this tour.

Currency:
The unit of Chinese currency is Yuan. USD 1 = 6.00 Yuan. 1 Yuan = INR 10.00 approx, Money can exchange at Bank of China at Purang. Exchange all you’re remaining Yuan at the end of the trip at Zhangmu itself before re-entering Nepal.

Risks & Liability:
Muktinath Yatra Pvt. Ltd and its associates will put every effort to make your journey smooth and pleasant. However, all the tours in Tibet are conduct strictly under the rules & regulation of Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB). Therefore, Muktinath Yatra Pvt. Ltd and its counterpart shall not be responsible for any change and alteration in the program due to unavoidable circumstances such as landslide, road blockage, flood, snow, political unrest, cancellation of flight, delay arrival, delay issue of permit and visa, sickness or accidents.
