Trip Overview

Lhasa Mt Kailash Tour in West Tibet from Kathmandu

Explore the mystical and sacred landscapes of West Tibet on the Lhasa Mt Kailash Tour, a journey that takes you to the heart of Asia’s holiest mountains. This Lhasa Mt Kailash Tour pilgrimage is not only a physical endeavor but also a profound spiritual experience, attracting followers of Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and the ancient Bon religion.

Sacred Circuits and Spiritual Cleansing

The highlight of this Lhasa Mt Kailash Tour journey is the 53 km circuit around Mt Kailash, a sacred undertaking for Tibetan and Indian pilgrims. For Buddhists and Hindus, the circumambulation is done clockwise, while Bon followers follow an anti-clockwise path. Believers hold the conviction that completing this kora (circumambulation) absolves them of a lifetime of sins. The awe-inspiring 6714 m high mountain, with its four sheer walls and snow-capped peak, provides a breathtaking backdrop to this spiritual quest.

Rivers and Mysticism  in Lhasa Mt Kailash Tour

The region surrounding Mt Kailash is not only spiritually significant but also geographically remarkable. Four great rivers – Karnali River, Indus, Sutlej, and the Brahmaputra – originate from this sacred land. The convergence of spirituality and nature creates an atmosphere of profound mysticism.

Lhasa Mt Kailash Tour journey continues with a drive across arid plains, offering mesmerizing vistas, before heading south. Lhasa Mt Kailash Tour expedition concludes with a return to Kathmandu via the Nepalese border.
