Seek divine blessings at the cosmic throne of Lord Shiva — circumambulate the sacred mountain and purify your soul in Mansarovar Lake.
कैलासे वसते शम्भुः श्रीमान् पार्वतीसहितः ।
यत्र गंगा च मानसं पुण्यं पापविनाशनम् ॥ — Shiva Purana on the glory of Kailash and Mansarovar
Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is revered as the most spiritually powerful pilgrimage a Hindu devotee can undertake. Mount Kailash (6,638m) is the mythological axis of the universe — the physical manifestation of Mount Meru — and the eternal abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
The yatra involves the sacred Parikrama (circumambulation) of the mountain — a 52km journey at an altitude above 5,000m — and a holy dip in Mansarovar Lake, one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world. Every step is a prayer. Every breath, a devotion.
Our 18-day journey covers Kathmandu, the Nepalese plains, the Tibetan plateau, and the sacred circuit of Kailash. We handle all border formalities, permits, accommodation, and logistics with full support teams throughout.
