Trekking in Tibet

Kailash:Mansarovar Trek (Northern Route)

Trek Grade: C (Challenging)
Trek Duration: 9 Days
Trip Duration: 29 Days 
Season: May to Oct

Introduction:

After a one hour flight over Mt. Everest to Lhasa, we drive to Shigatse, Mt. Kailash and Mansarovar Lake westward through the Tibetan plateau. Driving across the Chang Tang Plain, we follow the trails of the ancient salt caravan route. At the foot of Mt. Kailash, we will perform the ancient rite of circumambulating known as “Parikrama”- a full circuit of the peak. After visiting Mansarovar Lake and traveling southward to Khasa, we return to Kathmandu via the Zhangmu border.

An optional trip to the Silk Road takes 6 days or more. Another three days optional trip to the ruins of the Guge Kingdom from Darchen is offered if time permits. It starts at Tsaparang, passes through Shichenhe and Xingliang, and ends at the Pakistan border on the Karakoram Highway. We then arrive in Kashgar just in time for the well - known “Kashgar Sunday Market”.
