Nepal Side

Before moving towards Tibet, you'll spend a few days in Kathmandu, where you will visit some of the most sacred Hindu sites, get some local experiences, and immerse yourselves in the rich heritage. 

Kathmandu

This valley is home to a plethora of Hindu and Buddhist sites and durbar squares, out of which you will visit Pashupatinath Temple, Jal Narayan Temple, Chandragiri HillsSwayambhunath StupaPatan Durbar Square, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square, offering you a rich glimpse of Nepalese history. Kathmandu's bustling streets, with their colourful markets, traditional crafts, and lively atmosphere, provide a rich introduction to Nepalese culture and heritage.

The tranquil beauty of Nagarkot provides a perfect contrast to the bustling city life of Kathmandu, offering an opportunity for relaxation.

Tibet Side

Once you cross the border into Tibet, the yatra takes on an entirely new dimension, marked by the stark beauty and spiritual energy of the Tibetan plateau. The journey through Kyirong Valley introduces pilgrims to the unique culture and traditions of Tibetan communities.

Mount Kailash

As the journey's final endpoint, Mount Kailash carries enormous spiritual significance in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon religion. The sacred mountain itself inspires spiritual awakening, inviting travellers into a zone of profound awe and introspection. At an altitude of 6638 m, this mountain is believed to be the holy abode of Lord Shiva which makes the “Kora”, also known as circumambulation around the mountain, exceptionally significant.

Serene Mansarovar Lake

Adjacent to Mount Kailash, the pure Mansarovar Lake is a beautiful sight to see at an elevation of 4650 m. Its pristine waters are believed to hold the power to cleanse sins and bestow spiritual enlightenment. Pilgrims often engage in rituals and take holy dips in the lake, embracing its spiritual significance and the tranquillity it offers. 

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Difficulty

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Kyirong from Nepal is moderate to challenging owing to a number of difficulties. Firstly, coping with the high altitude is one of the most difficult aspects of this yatra. The region's high elevation, frequently exceeding 15,000 feet, can cause altitude sickness, which manifests as symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and nausea. Acclimatisation to high altitude is critical, and tourists should take the required measures, including cautious ascent and medication if necessary.

While the trip through Kyirong offers some of the most beautiful scenery, it also requires driving over twisting roads and steep terrain. The road conditions may vary, with some narrow and rough stretches. A solid car and a skilled driver are essential for a safe voyage. The weather in the Himalayan area may be unpredictable, with unexpected rains and temperature decreases. Even in the summer, travellers must be prepared for a variety of weather situations, including frigid nights.

Additionally, the yatra takes you through isolated locations where the facilities are limited. In places such as Derapuk and Zuthulpuk, accommodations are modest, and you might also face problems regarding the washroom. It is recommended that travellers bring the required supplies, such as medications, warm clothes, and personal hygiene items, including toiletries. Despite these obstacles, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through Kyirong is an adventurous and transforming journey, giving spiritual growth as well as magnificent natural beauty.

What to expect from the yatra?

After leaving Kathmandu, the geography gradually changes as they reach the Kyirong border, exposing a view of towering mountains and expansive fields. Kyirong, the entrance to Tibet's spiritual heartland, welcomes visitors with open arms, presenting views of Tibetan culture and lifestyle that flourishes amidst these tranquil settings.

The pilgrims find themselves treading an ancient path as the journey develops, where every twist and curve in the road reveals like passages from hallowed books. The journey to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake becomes a spiritual experience in which time appears to slow down, allowing for reflection and restoration. The raw and pristine beauty of this journey evokes awe, while the pilgrimage's spiritual overtones develop a deeper relationship with oneself and the divine. Individuals are given the opportunity to not only view the magnificence of the magnificent Kailash Mansarovar, but also to participate on a path of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment through this transforming yatra.
