sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists. Mt Kailash
is the source of four great Asian rivers. The
total journey is of 2/3 weeks as per Itinerary
designed and the maximum elevation is 5630m. Our
destination is the 'Center of the World', as the
Tibetans refer to Kailash. 6714m above see level
towers the scenic and white snow pyramid. Prayer
flags on the Dolma La (5600m) greet you on your
circumambulation of Kailash, which takes three
days. We suggest to our valid customer should

Nepal on the first and last day (especially
during the July and August trips).

first day of tours itself. After clearing
customs and immigration, Nyelam is the first
night halt in Tibet at over 3750m. On crossing
the Lalung-la Pass at 5050m and driving on day 3

plateau, plateau and the rest of the journey is
through wilderness country if you are entry to
Tibet at Zhangmu. Our trekking crews manage all
