Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Lhasa
Our scheduled departure for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through Lhasa begins in Kathmandu, Nepal, and ends in Kailash Mansarovar after a flight to Lhasa.
In comparison to other Kailash Mansarovar packages, this one through Lhasa is extremely worthwhile because it is not reliant on Nepali weather and ensures that you will get to Lake Mansarovar in time for the full moon.
The important cultural sites of Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse, and the pilgrimage destination Kailash Mansarovar are all included in the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through Lhasa.
The Potala Palace, Sera Monastery, Norbulingka Palace, Jokhang Temple, Tibetan traditional Barkhor Squire, Tashilampo Monastery in Shigatse, and most sacred Lake Yamdok on the drive in Gyantse to Shigatse are the main tourist attractions of this tour surrounding Lhasa. We continue driving through some culturally richest Tibetan cities to get to the Kailash region.
Our journey begins with a breathtaking Mountain View flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa, where we spend three nights. For your entire journey, a guided tour and three days of acclimatization in Lhasa will be more beneficial to assist your body in acclimating to the high altitude.
We continue our drive to Lake Mansarovar and Mount Kailash, which are located in the Ngari area of Tibet, after our cultural tour of central Tibet's Lhasa. We see the revered Lake Mansarovar and perform a three-day Kailash Parvat Kora/Parikrama on foot or by horseback. Except for the three days of the Kailash Kora, the whole Lhasa Kailash Tour is driven on paved roads.

The lake of compassion, serenity, and pleasure is called Manasarovar. After finishing the amazing morning bath and pooja of Lord Shiva, we will make the approximately two-and-a-half-hour trip to Darchen. It is regarded as the Holy Kailash Parikrama's base camp

This day is very sensitive, and we have to pass Dolma-La Pass, which is 5400 mt. above sea level. The weather is unpredictable in Doma-la Pass, and at any time, snowstorms can fall.

We will trek down to Darchen later. Our tour follows back the same route, and the same system applies to all subjects of our accommodation and meal. All of the driving staff will be ready for you when you arrive after a three-hour trek. You'll arrive at your Saga lodge in the late afternoon.

It was an excellent and memorable trip arranged by creative adventure. We were 15 family members planned for pilgrimage trip but later combined adventures too for the sake of our kids. From the arrival and till departure, Ramesh Ji ‘s support was excellent. He was able to reach even at night for some emergencies. Excellent vehicles were provided and especially kind and experienced drivers were arranged. Because of the change in climatic conditions , our flight got cancelled and we were supposed to do road travel. We afraid a lot but the drivers were really experienced and helped us a lot in all aspects. Food arranged in hotels were really good. ( Only concern was they could have separated veg n non veg in different places n not on the same counters). Especially chef in landmark Kathmandu was so kind n prepared food specially for us. Cultural village in Janakpur also provided homely n decent food. We had a great n enjoyable trip all over. Thanks Ramesh Ji for arranging everything. We definitely recommend Creative adventure to everyone.
