Kailash Mansarovar Tour from Beijing via Lhasa

Arrive in Beijing and meet our representative at the airport. From the airport, you will be transferred to your hotel. Later, our representative and guides will meet you at your hotel for a briefing on Kailash Yatra regarding pilgrimage, safety, altitude, and preparation for your onward journey to Tibet

Today, you’ll take a scenic flight from the capital, Beijing, to Lhasa, which will take around 4.5 hours. Starting your tour from Beijing will help with acclimatization and a safer and more comfortable beginning to your Kailash Journey.
Upon reaching Lhasa, complete your arrival and travel formalities before proceeding to your Hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to relax and acclimatize to your surroundings, and prepare yourself for your journey ahead. Avoid any sort of strenuous activities and drink plenty of water to hydrate yourself.
 

Today you'll visit popular places in Lhasa as part of acclimatization. You will visit important sites like the Potala Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the former winter residence of the Dalai Lama. 
Next, you'll head to Jokhang Temple, the most sacred temple in Tibetan Buddhism, followed by a stroll around Barkhor Street, where you can see local shops and street vendors. Throughout the day, you will gain insights into Tibetan culture and religion. Return to your hotel in the evening to rest and prepare for your journey ahead. 
 

Today, your journey continues towards a remote and breathtaking gateway to western Tibet, starting with a flight from Lhasa to Ali.
Upon arrival, you will continue your journey by road towards the sacred Mansarovar. As you drive deeper into the Tibetan Plateau, the landscapes will change gradually, with vast open Plains and scenic Mountain views.
Upon reaching the Mansarovar area, settle into your accommodation and take time to rest and acclimatize to the high altitude. Later, you may have the opportunity to soak yourself in the serene atmosphere of Mansarovar 

After breakfast, you will continue your drive from Mansarovar to Darchen, the main starting point for the Mount Kailash Kora. Darchen is situated at a high altitude of 4,640 m and serves as the gateway to the sacred Mount Kailash pilgrimage.
Upon reaching Darchen, use the remainder of the day to rest and prepare your trekking gear, and acclimatize properly before beginning the trek.
 

Today marks the beginning of the Mount Kailash Parikrama (Kora). The day begins with an early drive from Darchen and ends at Yamdwar, from where the holy trek of Kailash Parikrama officially begins.
The trek will take about 6-7 hours, and the trail leads through the spectacular Tibetan landscape toward Diraphuk, offering impressive views of Mount Kailash along the way. This is the first day of trekking, so maintain a slow and steady pace due to the high altitude.
Upon reaching Diraphuk, settle into your accommodation, take plenty of rest, and prepare for the second day of your holy kora trek.
 

Today is the most challenging day of Kailash Parikrama (Kora). The trek continues from Diraphuk towards the Dolma La Pass, the highest point of this pilgrimage tour at approximately 5,630 meters. 
Drink plenty of water to hydrate your body and maintain a slow and steady pace with proper acclimatization. The trail involves steep ascents and descents, and the high altitude makes this a physically demanding day. 
 

Today, you will complete the final section of the Mount Kailash Parikrama (Kora). After finishing the trek, return toward Darchen and continue to drive by road toward Ali (Ngari). This is an important recovery day after completing the demanding Kailash pilgrimage.
Enjoy the changing scenery of the Tibetan Plateau while travelling toward Ali.
 

After breakfast, you will be transferred for your flight from Ali to Lhasa.
Upon arrival, check in at your hotel and rest after the Kailash Parikrama.
Depending on your energy and the local schedule, you may have some free time to explore Lhasa or simply relax at the hotel.

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and bid farewell to your Kailash Journey in Lhasa. Our representative will transfer you to the airport, from where you will depart to your onward journey. 
This journey is filled with spirituality, culture, religion, and a bit of adventure. You will take home a lifelong, memorable journey that can be cherished for your lifetime and shared with your family and friends.
