There are two main ways to get to Kailash Mansarovar from Nepal. They are overland via Gyirong border and by helicopter via Nepalgunj.
Overland via Gyirong border: This is a good option if you are looking for a more adventurous trip. The journey from Kathmandu to Kailash is 10 days and you will need to cross the border between Nepal and China at Gyirong Border.
The route by helicopter via Nepalgunj: It is the most expensive option, but it is also the fastest way to get to Kailash Mansarovar. The helicopter tour takes about 1 day from Simikot in Nepal to Hilsa in Tibet.
In case of weather disruptions, the yatra schedules are to be postponed until the weather clears. Once the weather clears, the flights can be fast-forwarded according to their availability, which means one can reach Taklakot from Nepalgunj and vice versa on the same day.
Note: The cost of additional days is to be borne by the visitors themselves.

Also, proper acclimatisation, physical training, and being aware of one's health condition are crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience.
