Lhasa Mt. Kailash Tour

If you begin in Kathmandu, you will first take a flight to Lhasa where our Tibetan guide will meet you at the airport and take you to Lhasa, 98 kilometers away. We will spend two days sightseeing in Lhasa and then begin our journey to Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar via via Gynatse, Shigatse and Sakya Monastery. Our “Lhasa to Mt. Kailash Tour” can include a 3-day circumambulation around the holy mountain. The tour ends at Zhang-Mu.

We can combine a tour to Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar with sightseeing in central Tibet. We suggest including Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya then take the major route between Kathmandu and Mt. Kailash beginning in Saga, a small Tibetan town. Our tour to Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar from Lhasa requires at least 19 days, but we will accommodate your needs as best as possible.
