Mt. Kailash Tours
The Most Sacred Mountain - A Pilgrimage of a Lifetime
Mt. Kailash Pilgrimage Tours
The most sacred mountain in the world
Mount Kailash stands at 6,638 meters in Tibet and is considered sacred by four major religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Its unique pyramid-shaped peak has drawn pilgrims and adventurers for centuries who come to perform the sacred kora (circumambulation) around the mountain.
Our Mt. Kailash tours combine the spiritual pilgrimage with comfortable accommodations and expert guides. The 52-kilometer parikrama (pilgrimage circuit) typically takes three days, reaching altitudes above 5,600 meters. Lake Manasarovar, the stunning turquoise lake at the base of Mt. Kailash, is often visited alongside the mountain pilgrimage.
