There are certain limitations when entering Tibet from Nepal. The most notable is that your Chinese visa will be a ‘special’ visa that will be limited in the amount of time that you can spend in China, usually 15-21 days, sometimes a maximum of 28-30 days.
The second one is that all travel within Tibet requires a Tibet Travel Bureau issued a permit and that to obtain the permit you must have a guide, a driver and a pre-planned itinerary. Since these things are required, if there are no other people desiring to travel the same route at the same time, the cost will be very expensive. However, our pre-planned group departures make sure that this trip fits under your budget. We can also help you prepare the visa support documents needed to travel to China.
Our Mt Kailash pilgrimage tour goes through the northeast border of Nepal (Kodari) to Saga, Paryang, and to Mt. Kailash without going to Lhasa. After driving from Kathmandu to Nyalam, Saga, Paryang, and Tarchen, we will undertake a three-day trek (also known as Parikrama or Kora) around Mount Kailash before a final nights camp alongside the shores of Lake Manasarovar. The great lake lies in the southwest of Tibet beyond the great Himalayas bordering Nepal and China. Mansarovar is a sacred place to both Hindus and Buddhists who believe that the Indus, Ganga, Sutlej, and Brahmaputra originated from this lake
If you plan on traveling Mount Kailash at the time of the Saga Dawa festival, you’ll come across thousands of pilgrims from throughout Tibet gathered there to pay homage to the mountain. The ‘Pilgrims peak’ is of religious significance to Buddhists, Hindus, Jains, and Bompons. Hindus and Buddhists believe Mount Kailash to be the center of the universe and walking around this holy mountain, is a supreme goal for the faithful.
