The famous Kailash Mansarovar Tour via Lhasa & Everest Base Camp is planned for cultural, adventurous, and religious visits to the most sacred mountain of Lord Shiva, Mt. Kailash, Everest base camp, Lhasa city, and Kathmandu tour, including pashupatinath, along with holy Lake Mansarovar.
This is a deep tour, spiritual and tourist one, through the massif mountain scenery, wild snow-covered tracts, dense green forests, villages, and serene landscapes of the Himalayas. This huge viewpoint lies wedged between the Himalayas and the Karakoram Range affording panoramic view right across Tibet and Nepal-hence one of the most breathtakingly beautiful parts of the earth.
Kathmandu City Tour starts in Kathmandu, the cultural and spiritual city center of Nepal, where we outline ancient and important heritage sites, such as the Pashupatinath Temple, which is the most sacred temple of Lord Shiva.
Then we visit Jalanarayan Temple, one of the revered sites for devotees, and Bouddhanath Stupa, which is one of the largest in the world. One will feel the sacred energy oozing out from here when the monks pray.
Swayambhunath Temple, or Monkey Temple, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers great views of Kathmandu Valley and is considered a holy pilgrimage site for both Buddhists and Hindus.
The Chandragiri Tour is a combined scenic cable car ride to the top of Chandragiri Hill, including a visit to the Bhalashore Mahadev Temple, not only for its spiritual importance but also for the great views of the Himalayas and Kathmandu Valley.
Kathmandu Durbar Square, listed in UNESCO World Heritage Sites, enables one to relive moments of rich history with a complex comprising palaces, temples, and statues.
Finally, we reach the busy Thamel Bazaar to buy traditional handicrafts of Tibet and Nepali clothes along with souvenirs carrying lots of good experiences of the local culture.
Lhasa City Tour: Upon arrival in Lhasa, the spiritual capital of Tibet, we spend a whole day here in exploration of some highly venerated cultural attractions of the city. First, we will pay a visit to the representative of them:
We visit the Potala Palace-used as a residence of the Dalai Lama and an architectural wonder-then come up to Jokhang Temple, the most sacral Buddhists’ facility in Tibet, housing reportedly the most well-respected image of Sakyamuni Buddha.
In fact, this sightseeing ends here, but our evening continues farther with a walk down Bhakhor Street – a market, one would say, super animation, pilgrims and townsfolk circumambulating around temples. Other highlights will be Sera Monastery, known for its philosophical debates, and Norbulinka Palace, summer residence of the Dalai Lama, set amidst beautiful gardens.
Tibet Everest Base Camp is an adventurous journey to Everest Base Camp in Tibet, offering an opportunity to perceive an amazing beauty of the highest peak on Earth from a very different geographical side. This is an opportunity to get a glimpse of panoramic views of the world’s tallest peak, together with some other towering peaks of the Himalayas while driving to Everest Base Camp.
A lifetime experience awaits every trekker in the Everest Base Camp: a magical Mt. North Face, together with innumerable awesomely beautiful mountain peaks that rise well in view, interspersed by some great scenes of rugged topography, glaciers, and great scenery.
Kailash Kora: The journey now heads towards sacred Mt. Kailash-revered in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Kailash Kora is considered to provide spiritual liberation by circumambulating around Mt. Kailash and is considered very important on a religious basis.
We will start our trek from Yama Dwar via dramatic landscapes to reach Dirapuk-a scared site with tremendous views of the mountain. The crossing of Dolma La Pass at 5,630 meters or 18,470 feet is said to be the high point of the trek and also the most difficult part of our tour.
The last leg of the Kora brings us to Zuthulphuk, stopping at Gauri Kunda-a holy lake where Lord Shiva is believed to have confessed his love to Goddess Parvati. Memories to be carved in the depth of spiritualism and rich cultural understanding all over Tibet and Nepal, Adventure, Spirituality, and Exploration do really go along in the most appropriate manner.
This tour starts off with a flight to Lhasa, regarded as the spiritual heart of Tibet, on a holy site tour of Kathmandu, Lhasha, Everest Base Camp, and Kailash Mansarovar for cultural, religious, and adventure immersion. Driving from Saga to Kerung brings it to an end and back to Kathmandu.
The drive upwards is pretty beautiful and lets us reflect upon the events that may have passed by when looking at splendid landscapes, luxurious valleys, and wild topographies to retreat back into Nepal.

If our standard itinerary doesn't fully meet your needs, we are happy to tailor it to your specific preferences and requirements.
Kathmandu, the Nepalese capital, is a busy center of religious and cultural significance to Buddhists and Hindus. Old temples, old palaces, and congested markets stand side by side amidst a dense environment suitable for pilgrim tourists as well as historians.
Among pilgrimages not to be missed are Pashupatinath Temple, a Hindu temple revered by Lord Shiva by Bagmati River. A World Heritage Site, it has been so classified by UNESCO and is perhaps most renowned for the cremation ghats, on which thousands of pilgrims pour each year.
The second of these is the Jalnarayan Temple, also known as the “Sleeping Vishnu” temple, and it is a Lord Vishnu temple located adjacent to a serene pond in Bhaktapur. The serene location only adds to its religious importance. For visiting the sightseeing spots in Kathmandu as well as nearby Himalayan mountains, Chandragiri Hill should not be given a miss. Journey by cable car to the peak and experience majestic views of the valley.
Ultimately, Kathmandu Durbar Square, which is a world heritage site, gives a peek into the architecture and royal lineage of Nepal, ancient courtyards, palaces, and temples which describe stories of dynasty grandeur.
The Tibet to Kathmandu road trip is the thrill and adventure-filled drive through some of the planet’s most spectacular landscapes. As you depart from Kathmandu, you will first travel through the Himalayan Range, snow capped peaks and green valleys that stretch out to welcome you.
The mountain roads wind through single villages, and you catch glimpses of country life and Tibetan hospitality. Driving into Tibet, the landscape quickly changes as you drive into the vast Tibetan Plateau. This dry, but lovely, landscape of distant peaks and peaceful, isolated villages is some of the most stunning scenery on earth.
The journey to places like Shigatse, Tingri, and finally Everest Base Camp is a challenging, but worthwhile, journey. Along the way, you’ll pass ancient Tibetan villages and monasteries, where life remains deeply rooted in tradition, providing a rare glimpse into Tibetan spirituality and culture.
Lhasa, the religious and cultural capital of Tibet, is a city replete with centuries of history and religious devotion. The Potala Palace, Tibet’s most symbolically iconic building, towers above the city and is the icon of Tibetan cultural Buddhism. The palace, the former winter home of the ex-Dalai Lama, is an architectural marvel, with its stunning chapels, shrines, and gargantuan halls filled with sacred Tibetan relics.
Lhasa also contains the sacred Jokhang Temple, Tibet’s most sacred Buddhist temple. Pilgrims from across the nation travel to pray before the central Buddha statue at this sacred place, considered the world’s most sacred. Barkhor Street encircles the Jokhang, a busy pilgrim route on which locals and tourists alike purchase Tibetan handicrafts, prayer beads, and other devotional items.
The festive mood is particularly euphoric during religious holidays. For some peace of mind, you can visit Norbulingka Palace, the former summer palace of the Dalai Lama. The palace, which has rustic gardens along with it, is serene paradise and is situated in the heart of traditional Tibetan architecture and art.
Everest Base Camp travel (Tibet) is an adrenaline rush for any traveler. Mount Everest, measuring 8,848 meters above sea level, is the world’s highest mountain and viewing it from the Tibetan side is an experience one would cherish for a lifetime.
Tibet Everest Base Camp is a place of wonder on the mountain, which it encircles with glaciers, giant peaks, and endless Tibetan plateaus. You are nearest to Everest when you are in base camp but can still enjoy the vibe and majesty of the world’s highest point.
The landscape has an air of quietness and spirituality and is great space for meditating and reflecting. The travel itself is that of a pilgrimage, mountain roads alternating with bird’s eye flight, and a forever memory.
Rakshas Tal and Lake Mansarovar are both very sacred sites in Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist tradition and hence very significant location along the pilgrim route to Mount Kailash. Lake Mansarovar is sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike. Crystal Lake, at the base of the mount, is where sin cleansing is said to occur by both of them.
Due to the place where gods are said to dwell, Lake Mansarovar becomes really special in such cultures. Pilgrims take a dip into its sacred waters to purify their souls. The lake is encircled by a serene and tranquil landscape, with snow-white mountains reflected on the lake, contrasting its religious ambiance. Rakshas Tal (Demon’s Lake), a wicked and ominous lake, lies close to Mansarovar.
It is the exact opposite of the tranquility of Mansarovar. Rakshas Tal is supposedly home to demons, as per Hindu mythology, and hence it brings with it a spiritual presence to the lake. Even though demon-named, Rakshas Tal is an extremely serene place with barren wasteland, which is quite apt for the mystical veil. Both lakes are surrounded by the pilgrimage and provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience to connect with the divine and introspect.
The Inner Kora Trek of Mount Kailash is the holiest and most challenging pilgrimage in the world. Mount Kailash, which is the residence of Lord Shiva, is the most sacred mountain in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and the Bon religion. To circumambulate this sacred peak at 6,638 meters above sea level is a very spiritual experience.
The hike is challenging with boulder fields and traverses at high altitude. The top of the Inner Kora is the Dolma La Pass (5,636m), a spiritual pilgrim pass and the portal to life and death. Outer Kora is the mountain trail and can take 2-3 days, with stunning scenery of glaciers, sacred lakes, and distant mountains.
Along this path route, Gauri Kund, one of the sacred lakes where goddess Parvati washed, is being called by pilgrims. It is also a site for religious contemplation and supplication, and one in which most pilgrims feel is an absolute truth that accepting the satisfaction of the Kora frees them from sin and attains freedom for them.
Zuthulphuk Monastery, likely the most important site on the trek, is among the holiest monasteries on the Kora. Flanked by huge ridges, the monastery is a peaceful site for meditation and reflection, and an opportunity for trekkers to ponder their spiritual journey.
The Kailash Mansarovar Tour combined with Lhasa City and Everest Base Camp by Graceful Adventure Travel provides a blend of luxury and actuality with stay options. While you are residing in the midst of 4-star hotels like Ramada Encore or Aloft in Kathmandu, with modern facilities, warm comforts, and a quite pleasant atmosphere, you can wind down before moving on to your spiritual tour.
The pilgrim in Tibet adds to the journey by overnight stays in 3-star+ hotels, where one can enjoy the luxury and quality, with the comfort of rooms and facilities at one’s disposal to sleep in the evening and roam around in the Tibetan Plateau.
The nearer the pilgrim comes to the holy places, such as Lake Mansarovar, Derapuk, and Zuthulphuk, hotels are replaced with modest, dormitory type pilgrim houses that increase the pilgrims’ experience. Whereas these guest houses are simpler, they provide an aggregate experience that imparts one a more heightened sense of identification with the spirituality of the pilgrimage and fellow pilgrims surrounding you.
The contrast of the five-star hotels in the cities with the humble but spiritually enriching accommodation at the pilgrim sites provides a special and life-changing experience, one which is comforting as well as subject to the pilgrimage’s spirituality.
Overall, Graceful Adventure Travel goes out of its way to ensure that your Kailash Mansarovar Tour is comfortable, safe, and spiritually fulfilling with accommodations chosen with care to provide you with rest and relaxation and yet maintain the sanctity of this holy pilgrimage. Whether you prefer the luxurious 4-star facilities of hotels or go for the simple guest house dormitories at the sanctum sanctorum, the entire accommodation complex is designed to make your Kailash Mansarovar tour an experience worth repeating and a memory to hold on to.
Flexibility in your hotel choices is available in Nepal. You will always have the option for a more luxurious stay, ranging from well-known 5-star hotels to nice boutique accommodations, which we will arrange based on your own wish. Furthermore, an upgrade will cost you a little extra.
The best time to visit the Kailash Mansarovar Tour through Lhasa & Everest Base Camp is during the spring season of April and June and the autumn season of September and October. These seasons enjoy the most favorable weather with clear sky conditions, pleasant climate, and walkable paths with ease and therefore the most suitable season for adventure enthusiasts as well as spiritual seekers. These months lack the bitter winter and monsoon rains, which is a smoother and better ride, but very comfortable landscape of the Himalayas, Mount Kailash, and Everest Base Camp.
Spring season is also among the finest times to travel to Kailash Mansarovar. With the snow melting and the weather slowly rising, the place opens up. The weather is generally clear and beautiful with cold to moderate temperatures, and hence perfect for trekking as well as sightseeing. The roads and treks are also less likely to get snowed or rainy obstructed, and hence it becomes even more convenient to travel. Fewer tourists at this time than during the summer season also provide a peaceful experience at pilgrim sites. However, high-altitude regions are also extremely cold, particularly during the early morning and evening, so one needs to layer up.
While summer might seem appealing, the monsoon months of July and August should be avoided for the Kailash Mansarovar Tour in general. The area is exposed to heavy rain, especially in the lower parts, which makes the roads slippery, trails muddy, and more prone to landslides. The trails to Everest Base Camp and Mount Kailash are difficult to walk through, and the pilgrimage becomes unpleasant and unsafe. Rain also reduces visibility, which is not too great for sightseeing and photography. It is best for pilgrims not to travel during this time if they want a peaceful and trouble-free pilgrimage experience.
Fall would be the best for the Kailash Mansarovar Tour for the good weather. Fall from September to October is good weather, moderate climate, and wide view of Himalayas, for example, Mount Everest and Mount Kailash. The monsoon has passed and gone, and roads and routes dry up and are easy to walk. There are also fewer people in this season than the summer season, and pilgrims can have a peaceful atmosphere in which to pray and reflect. The days are hot but cold at the top, and one therefore needs to wear warm clothing, especially for the morning and evening.
Tibet is very cold during winter, from November to March, especially at higher altitudes around Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar. It is freezing with snowstorms, and it is challenging to travel with most roads and trekking paths rendered inaccessible by heavy snowfall. Cold weather also enormously boosts the risk of altitude sickness far more, lessening the appeal of the journey during winter. Accommodation too is shut or restricted due to freezing winter weather. It is therefore not advisable to travel during winter unless you are willing to tolerate extreme cold and harsh conditions.
If you travel on the Kailash Mansarovar Tour via Lhasa & Everest Base Camp, the best time is spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October). These months provide the best of blue clear skies, good weather, and good roads for travel to provide a comfortable, safe, and spiritually enriching experience. Whether you are trekking to Everest Base Camp or undertaking the sacred Lake Mansarovar pilgrimage, these months provide the full perfect experience where you can immerse yourself to the hilt with the magic and freedom of this great pilgrimage.

Scenic drive: Scenic Himalayan foothill and distant village views are what you are greeted with while driving from Nepali countryside, and the return drive will be equally scenic and enduring as the drive itself.
Although Inner Kora trek of Mount Kailash is a spiritually enriching but a difficult trek, no transport facility exists for this segment since it is done by walking. But if you do not mind getting someone else to carry your bagpack while trekking, porter or horse service can be availed on additional charges.
Porter service: It will cost RMB 250–350 for an off-season day and RMB 300–450 for a peak season day. Porters will carry your bags along, and the trek will not be so tiring, and you can concentrate on the spiritual experience before you.
Horse service: You can ride a horse, if you wish, which will take you and your bag along part of Inner Kora. That will cost extra as well.
Graceful Adventure Travel strives to provide you with a combination of luxury and independence in food facilities. You may enjoy a luxurious breakfast at your hotel in Kathmandu and choose your lunch and dinner at local restaurants for a more personalized experience.
Tibet has it that you are taken care of well with breakfast, lunch, and dinner organized in guesthouses and camps. Larger groups are given more care with the company organizing a Nepali guide to manage coordination of language as well as cuisine. Regardless of whether you are in a busy city or a remote high-altitude region, our aim is to give you delicious, healthy meals to fuel your spiritual and physical journey.
Graceful Adventure Travel puts significant emphasis on the fact that you will have delicious and healthy meals during your trip to Kailash Mansarovar and Everest Base Camp. The quality of the food services is also different between Nepal and Tibet to suit the varied needs of the travelers, from fine dining in Kathmandu to simple yet healthy meals in the highlands of Tibet. Following is a description of the food service during your entire tour:
During your time in Kathmandu, the tour is mindful of providing you with a comfortable and healthy start to your day. Graceful Adventure greets you each morning with a warm breakfast at the hotel. Your breakfast is healthy and tasty too because the mix of local and global cuisine suits personal tastes. Enjoy the buffet breakfast and the option of continental, traditional Nepalese, and vegan dishes, so many to begin the day.
For lunch and dinner, Graceful Adventure Travel is not particular. These meals are not included in the package, so you can eat at local restaurants whenever you want. This gives you the freedom to have Nepali cuisine or international cuisine. Having the freedom to decide your meals gives you a more personalized experience in Kathmandu, where you can enjoy the city’s multicultural food culture at your convenience.
The moment you set foot in Tibet, Graceful Adventure Travel takes care of your team’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is because food items can be limited in even more remote Tibetan regions. If you are in Lhasa’s congested city, trekking to Everest Base Camp, or moving around Lake Mansarovar, the tour agency ensures that you are well fed even when there is no food.
In Lhasa and other towns such as Shigatse and Tingri, food will be eaten at local guesthouses or hotels. Food typically consists of Tibetan basics such as tsampa (roasted barley flour), momos (dumplings), rice, noodles, vegetables, and meat. Food is cooked to give you enough energy to deal with the high-altitude terrain as well as for familiar flavors to enable you to feel at home.
In the quite distant places such as Everest Base Camp and Lake Mansarovar, where food choice becomes limited, Graceful Adventure Travel also coordinates even meals in the most challenging environments. The team coordinates meals with local guesthouses or fixed camps so that your nutritional requirements are met safely and hygienically.
For larger groups of over 9-10, a Nepali guide is also provided to facilitate good language coordination and table reservations. The guide assists in coordinating the language with the local Tibetan crew to ensure that all meals are reserved as per the group’s desires and eating habits. The guide takes care to ensure that any language problem does not affect the quality of the meal service or the group experience.
If your group size is larger than 9-10, then a Nepali guide would also be present for meal coordination. The guide would particularly be required in more remote areas where coordination of meals might be even more difficult or where local variations in language can pose issues. The guide arranges special requests, dietary requirements, and facilitates timely service of the meals.
The Nepali guide will also take care that the food is nutritionally balanced and culturally appropriate, particularly in areas where food may be limited. If you require a vegetarian meal or any other special diet, the guide will make sure that your food is properly catered to your needs.
Kailash Mansarovar Tour through Lhasa & Everest Base Camp – Not merely a physically demanding tour but Kailash Mansarovar Tour through Lhasa & Everest Base Camp even provides an insurance policy for full travel insurance coverage.
Graceful Adventure Travel introduces seriousness by adhering to an insurance policy on coverage of medical treatment, emergency evacuation, altitude sickness disorders, hospitalization, etc., in case of pertinent issues regarding a travel matter.
By making appropriate travel insurance, you can proceed with this lifetime trekking pilgrimage with the assurance that you are well insured and prepared for any unforeseen mishaps during your journey. Travel safely, travel wisely, and enjoy a trouble-free spiritual sojourn.
The Kailash Mansarovar Tour via Lhasa & Everest Base Camp is a rewarding experience, but since the terrain comprises high-altitude regions, stony ground, and remote locations, there are risks involved in the journey too. Because of the uncertainty that comes with high-altitude trekking and the possibility of medical complications or evacuation, adequate travel insurance should be obtained before going on this pilgrimage. This gives you sufficient preparedness if a problem does occur, with the added comfort of having assistance along the way.
Graceful Adventure Travel highly recommends that all participants take a travel insurance policy from a good company offering full cover against medical conditions, altitude sickness, evacuation, and hospitalization. The policy should not just offer protection against anything going wrong but also keep you safe financially in case of any accident. By choosing good insurance, you will be sure to meet the spiritual and physical challenges of your Kailash Mansarovar journey with complete peace of mind, knowing that you are covered in the event of anything going wrong.
Emergency Medical Treatment is perhaps the most vital aspect of your cover. Since mountain trekking at a high altitude is most likely to trigger sudden conditions such as dehydration, altitude sickness, or injury, the policy must provide for total consultation, treatment, and medication. Emergency care for Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) and any accident or injury that may occur during the tour should be covered. Proper insurance enables you to receive the required medical care without delay, even if you are far from a hospital.
In case of a severe medical emergency or trauma, Emergency Evacuation becomes important for prompt and proper treatment. The insurance policy must cover helicopter evacuation and ground transportation facilities.
Helicopter Evacuation: If evacuation from a remote or inaccessible location is necessary, the policy should cover helicopter transport to the nearest hospital or medical center.
Ground Transport: If a helicopter is not available, the policy should cover transportation by ambulance or other means, so that you can be taken to proper medical facilities safely.
Because trekking at high altitudes poses the risk of Altitude Sickness (AMS, HAPE, and HACE), your insurance should include coverage for the treatments required. These are oxygen therapy, medical consultation, and, if needed, evacuation to lower altitudes for recuperation. The insurance should also offer cover for medical treatment required for these altitude sicknesses.
In the event of serious disease or injury, hospitalization would normally be unavoidable. Your policy should ensure the whole cost of hospitalization, such as room rent, surgery, and any sort of medical treatment that you might require. This cover ensures that you are given treatment in the medical facilities of Tibet or the neighboring areas without being required to pay for the hospitalization.
For minor ailments such as fever, sprains, or headaches, your cover will cover outpatient care. This would typically pay for consultations with physicians and the cost of medicines or treatments required. Although the conditions may not require extended stays in the hospital, the policy has to ensure that you receive appropriate and prompt treatment.
On death, the Repatriation of Remains benefit takes care of the transportation of the remains of the traveler to his country of origin. The cost of transporting the remains is catered for by the insurance company’s policy, as well as the cost of any legal expenses incurred. The benefit is greatly significant in relieving the family of the traveler in the occurrence of this calamity.
A 24/7 Emergency Assistance facility is one of the basic components of any full travel insurance cover. The helpline has to be available 24/7 to provide medical assistance, evacuation arrangements, and other tour requirements. From medical assistance in the middle of nowhere to logistics arrangement on the tour, the 24/7 service is meant to have assistance at your fingertips at all times irrespective of where you are on the tour.
