A surreal phenomenon. A majestic epiphany. A staggering revelation- Mount Kailash is not a destination, it’s a journey- Kailash Mansarovar Yatra beyond all form of human imagination that takes you to an elevation of 21,788 feet, and changes your life forever. Conquering formidable peaks, walking along arduous terrains, a sense of isolation envelopes you on more instances than one during this expedition. Overcoming this emotional upheaval while being constantly challenged physically, you return home a winner beaming with invincibility. An evolution so palpable, the story of this metamorphosis is going to be the stuff of bestsellers. The abode of Lord Shiva for Hindus, home of Buddha Demchok according to Buddhists, the spiritual seat of power per Bon followers, and the place where Rishabhadeva, the creator of Jain religion attained Nirvana- Mount Kailash is a hero of mythological legends and an ultimate spiritual destination. While thousands of pilgrims attempt this cathartic journey, only the ones truly driven are able to complete it successfully. And if you are reading about it so intently, we are in no doubt about your superlative motivation. The first step to this two-part life altering experience begins at Kathmandu where we offer prayers at Pashupatinath and Budhanilkanth Temples to seek strength for the next 13 days. The prime reason that drives people to take this demanding sojourn is the Lake Manasarovar Parikrama in which you circumambulate around the mountain to wash away all your sins. This place is also known to be the gateway to Nirvana or Moksha. Deem 70% of this ritual complete once you reach the highest glacial lake near Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar. The remaining 30 ends with the trek. While on the trek, you cross some of the most stunning landscapes, serene mountain towns, unique mountain terrains, and high passes. A thrilling yet gruelling ordeal, your climb to an important milestone of the route - the Derapukh, is worth every ounce of energy spent on the hike. The breathtaking view of the first rays of the sun touching the peak, Mount Kailash painted gold, often called the “Golden Kailash” will concretise your faith in it being called God’s very own. Fierce winds, harsh weather, testing situations- you will have a million reasons to give up. But no one said reaching God is going to be easy. The courage to keep going is deep within your heart and call it transcendental, but to every impediment on the way lies a solution that appears in front of you just when you think you have hit dead end. Nothing better than what Sadhguru said, to sum up the trek to this spiritual realm, “If you can really be with Kailash even for a few moments, life will never again be the same for you. It is a phenomenon beyond all human imagination.” Detailed Itinerary for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Day 01: Arrive in Kathmandu (1450 m) Gear up for one of the most memorable adventures of your life today as you reach the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu.

Today, we drive from Kathmandu to Safrubeshi Besi, which is about a 7-hour, drive. The time to reach the place is dependent on the road conditions and traffic. Although the overall drive is smooth, traffic conditions can make the journey time consuming and tiring. Your stay is booked at a guesthouse, where dinner will be served before you retire for the night.

Day 04: Safrubeshi Besi – Rasuwagadhi (2hrs drive) – Kerong (125 KMS | 4-5 hours | 13550 feet) It's not often in your life that will get a chance to cross borders and step in another country on foot. Well, today is one of those rare days that you will! After breakfast, we to drive to Rasuwagadi( 2hrs) to move to the other side of the Nepalese border - the China side - on foot. A short halt till our team sorts the immigration formalities; you will soon find yourself in a Chinese bus that takes you to Kerong. The bus, controlled and guided by Tibetans are sturdy and comfortable. The Nepalese Sherpas accompanying you will make sure food, water, and other equipment for your comfort are loaded on the bus. Ensuring your smooth check-in at the guesthouse, we leave you to relax and spend the rest of your day at leisure. With not much to do, you can take a walk to the nearby market while our help will set the kitchen and serve you light snacks along with tea and coffee. An early dinner (served between 7 - 8 PM), we suggest you rest well for the next day. Important Remark: It may take some time for you to acclimatize to the weather in the city considering you will be at the height of 13550 feet. To combat the feeling of discomfort, we suggest you drink as much water as possible. It is also advised you consume soup, juice, tea, coffee, or hot water at regular intervals to keep yourself hydrated and to keep breathing even.

Day 06: Kyirong - Saga - Dongba (310 KMS | 7 hours | 15091 feet) After having adjusted to the place, we move on in our journey to Dongba. A beautiful drive through mountain terrains, and past the panoramic view of the blue lake, Pieko-Tso. The spellbinding views of the Yarlung Zangpo (the Brahmaputra River) as it flows alongside, and the northern route through the beautiful town of Saga (15879 feet above sea level), will leave you amazed at God's beautiful creations. Soon there is a shift in scenery and in front of you soar the high plains of Tibet - so soft, so gorgeous, and just so photogenic. We then drive to Dongba, which is our halt for the night. You may want to begin getting used to dormitory style rooms at your guesthouses or lodges by this time!

Day 07: Dongba - Lake Manasarovar (370 KMS | 6-7 hours | 15085 feet ) Seek divine blessing as we begin this challenging yet fulfilling journey to one of the highest and holiest lakes in the world - Lake Manasarovar. Start your day with a scrumptious breakfast at 7:30 AM post which we begin our drive to the lake. Our first stop is at Mayumla Pass, 4900 m above sea level where we halt for permit formalities and lunch. Crossing the Mayumla Pass and Prayang County, you will catch the first glimpse of Mount Kailash close to reaching the shores of the lake. While the colossal mountain may seem intimidating, you feel a surge to conquer it - no matter what! Before heading to the lake, we visit our guesthouse at Chiu Gompa to check-in (We may have to change our vehicle at this point depending on the authorization from the local authorities. We may have to use the local buses operated in the region). Congratulate yourself for achieving the feat of having reached Lake Mansarovar. Only those truly driven are able to complete this part of the trek, which also marks completing 70% of the Sarovar Parikrama. The rest will be completed when you trek to Mount Kailash. Spend some quality time at the lake as you revel in its beauty. Breathe the fresh air, soak in the beauty of the place and meditate before we return to the guesthouse. Overnight stay in your dormitory rooms at the lodge/guesthouse.

Day 10: Derapukh - Dolma-La Pass - Zuthulpukh (22 KMS trek | 10 hours | 18471 feet) Gear up for the toughest day of the trek. Waking up as early as the crack of dawn, you witness the falling rays of the sun on the Mount Kailash turning it into 'Golden Kailash.' The effort of waking up so early seems worth every minute once you witness this gleaming beauty. A quick light breakfast, packing yourself some lunch and a hot water bottle, we begin our trek to Zuthulphuk. The hike begins with a steep climb up to the Dolma-La High Pass (5539 m). This may take up to 4 hours. The next few kilometres till Gauri Kund is a steep descent. You soon touch a flat surface where you will have to walk for about 2.5 hours. The entire process is about 9-10 hours and can prove to be pretty strenuous for an individual. Try and maintain a consistent pace during the trek so that the maximum route is covered before the winds start setting in. At the top of Domla-La, we visit a place called Shivasthal. Covered with prayer flags and other Tibetan ornaments, the religious faith suggests that people who leave their clothes or other personal items here will find it in heaven after their death. This is one place where you truly feel the divine connect, and it is no wonder that people who return from here are usually not the same any more. A visit to Mount Kailash changes everything around them - inside and out. The downhill trail from here begins after you have enjoyed your packed lunch. It is going to be a tough descent because of all the rocky paths and loose stones that cover your path. This chunk of your trek needs extensive care and concentration. For people traveling on yaks and horses, it is advised you get down from it for a few kilometers and cover this path on foot. As soon as we reach Zuthulphuk, we will have our guesthouse or fixed tent with beds, bedsheet, and warm blankets. Stay in your dormitory till your meal is prepared and after a quick dinner, get back to the warmth of your bed. Note: Hot drinkable water will be made available in the morning for the day. Please fill your bottle. Note: About 3-4kms trek (ascend and descend) near Dolma La pass is steep and rocky.

Day 11: Darchen (8 KMS Trek) and drive to Dongba (3-4 hours trek| 8 KMS | 340 KMS | 6 hours drive) The last day of the trek is relatively shorter and quicker. 3-4 hours of trekking and we reach the base camp to move to the town of Darchen. Ambling downhill, you will soon see an accessible road from Darchen, which will take you to the guesthouse to join the other members of the group. Sharing travel stories and eating lunch with them, we continue our drive to Dongba. This marks the end of the parikrama. If folklore is to be believed, you have successfully washed away all your sins of this birth and are on your road to attaining nirvana. Finally, relax at the guesthouse today and overnight stay at Darchen.

Day 12: Dongba - Keyrong (310 KMS | 7-8 hours drive) Wake up to a beautiful morning with the feeling of accomplishment of having completed the Lake Mansarovar Parikrama. We make our way to the town of Saga, and once again cross the bridge over the shimmering Brahmaputra River. Covering the beautiful vast plains of Tibet, stunning Himalayan views keep you company all through the trip, and enhancing the beauty of the landscape are the Shishapangma and the Pieko- Tso Lake. Well pitched roads and mountainous terrain, this driving adventure ends when we reach Kyirong and stay there overnight. Day 13: Kyirong – Rasuwagadhi – Kathmandu (270 KMS | 8-10 hours) Say goodbye to Tibet today as we drive towards the border after breakfast. Taking the required permission from Nepalese Immigration Control in Rasuwagadi, we sit in a vehicle to drive to the Nepal side. Sit back comfortably for the next 8-10 hours till you reach Kathmandu. This is the best time to recollect every moment spent on the trek, every hurdle crossed, and every new experience you’ve gained during your time here. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel in Kathmandu. Day 14: Departure Today, pack to take a flight back home from Tribhuvan International Airport.

Reviews for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

The fact that this doubles up as a pilgrimage as well as a trek is great! I loved the experience of completing the Parikrama. Loved the whole vibe of it. The Sherpas were extremely helpful at each step. As far as the documentation was concerned, it was hassle-free and was done way before time so that was relieving. Next goals is to send parents on this heavenly trek. Everyone must have at least one experience of this spiritual trip once in their life. Thank you, Adventure Nation for making this possible.

Hello, I took the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from Kathmandu a few months back with my friends. I had wanted to go on this trek for the longest time. Had the opportunity to book this one through Adventure Nation who put us in touch with the right people. Right after the booking, the follow up was great on their part and all my questions were answered on time. My only concern was whether we would be able to this high-altitude trek without falling sick. Even though some of us experienced mild symptoms, none of us fell fully sick which was thanks to medication that we started on even before we began this journey. So, my advice would be to make sure you take a proper medicine kit and consult a doctor for altitude problems. Good luck!

Words fall short when I try explaining what we experienced on this life changing trek to Kailash Mansarovar. When we booked Kailash Mansarovar tour package with Adventure Nation in June, I was a bit unsure in the beginning of how it will all go because of the difficulty of the altitude. But throughout the trek, I felt like we were constantly inspired by each other and even the sherpas were so helpful. Day 1 we begun from Pashupathinath and from there on to the day of holy parikrama, it felt as though everything was guided by a spiritual power. What an experience, truly spellbinding!

The pious yatra, the holy pilgrimage, Kailash Parvat and Mansarovar. Took this trip with my son 2 months back. Worth every last penny. I feel so at peace after it. I have never felt better. How beautiful the whole journey was. Thanks a bunch, Adventure Nation for responding and coming together and having us on this wonderful Yatra.

I was definitely in for a surprise. Right from the beginning, there were a lot of issues with the booking and all. I would suggest getting in touch with the agent personally before booking and checking out the list of required documents. If you ask them they will email it to you. After I booked, it was an easy sail. it had its ups and downs but downs were nothing compared to the ups. Definitely a journey I am going to talk about forever.

If you are lucky, you will get to go on this yatra once in your lifetime, so make sure you are prepared for it. If you can get family or friends with you, you will enjoy it so much more, trust me. The journey is a bit tough in the starting, but the destination makes everything worthwhile. Thank you Adventure Nation for making this possible.

I had been hoping to go on Kailash Yatra for a long long time. I finally got the chance to do it in the month of May in 2017. And what an eye-opening wonderful experience it has been. Hands down, the best experience of my life so far. Everyone on the yatra had a brilliant time. The guide team was amazing, helped us a lot right from the starting. The food and accomodation was great as well. Better than expected. Thanks!

There were people of all ages in our batch. It was so endearing to watch everyone come together and climb up together to the holy site of Mansarovar Lake and Kailash Parvat. It was so inspiring to have trekked this holy trail. I can safely say that my experience on this Yatra was a pleasant, life-changing experience that has given me memories that will remain with me all my life.

How to Plan a Mount Kailash Tour from the USA, including Tibet Permits, Best Travel Time, Transportation, Tour Cost, Packing List

Traveling to Mount Kailash from the United States is a long and arduous journey that requires a long-haul flight to Nepal or China, then either flight, train or overland to get into Tibet. From there, it is an overland journey of several days to get to Mount Kailash itself.

Once you are there, you have the chance to make the three-day trek around the mountain, stopping at monastery guesthouses along the way, and climbing to the highest pass in the area. The road to Kailash is long and arduous, and the trek itself is hard and rugged, over rough terrain. Covering 52 kilometers in three days, this trek is not for the uninitiated high-altitude trekker. If you plan to tour Mt. Kailash from the US, just follow the insider tips made by our Tibetan travel gurus.

Travel Documents Needed for a Mount Kailash Tour from the USA

Getting to Mount Kailash does, however, require you to sort out several aspects of Chinese red tape, from the visa to get into China to the permits allowing you to get to the mountain and trek around it. Most of these permits will be applied for by us, once you have booked your Mount Kailash tour , although there are some things that you will need to do yourself.

The first thing to do is get the Chinese Entry Visa for your trip to China. Most people traveling to Tibet tend to travel through China, and the visa can be obtained from your local Embassy of the People’s Republic of China. The main embassy in Washington D.C. serves several states, and other consular offices around the country serve other states in groups. The other offices are in: New York, NY; Chicago, IL; San Francisco, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Houston, TX. Applications can be done by personal visit, or by mail if you prefer, using the U.S. Postal Service registered mail. A pre-paid return envelope must be provided.

There are also a number of permits that are required for travel to Tibet and Mount Kailash, the first of which is the Tibet Travel Permit . Applied for by us once you have booked your tour, this permit requires a scanned copy of your passport and visa and takes around 20 days to process. After we get your Tibet Travel Permit, we will have it delivered to your hotel in mainland China before you board the flight or Tibet train to Lhasa.

Once you are in Tibet, your Tibetan guide will use your passport and original copy of your Tibet Travel Permit to arrange the Alien’s Travel Permit , Military Permit , and the Frontier Pass , which is required to visit the attractions like Mount Everest and Mount Kailash, and other regions. Your guide will make sure everything is ready before we begin the road trip to the next destination. - Check more details about Mount Kailash Travel Permit

15 Days Kailash and Manasarova Tour

How to choose the best way to travel to mt. kailash from the usa.

Getting from the United States to Tibet requires several journeys, including flights and possibly train travel, as well as the overland journey to Mount Kailash itself. Flights are available from several major American airports, including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington DC. There are direct flights from most of these major international airports to airports in China, such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Wuhan, as well as indirect flights to many other locations across China. Direct flight prices range from US$ 493 to US$ 845 depending on your departure airport and arrival location in China.

The Means of Transportation of Tibet Tour

Once in China, there are three choices of how to get to Tibet. The fastest option is by flight from one of several airports that have direct flights to Lhasa. Although the airport in Lhasa is an international airport, it does not accept international flights except from Nepal. Direct flights depart from airports across China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xi’an, with Chengdu being the most popular airport for Lhasa flights. Flight times range from 90 minutes to 8 hours .

Trains are also available for travel to Tibet and depart from seven gateway cities across China for Lhasa. Starting from Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Lanzhou, and Xining, Tibet trains take between 22 and 55 hours to make the trip. If time is of the essence, but you still want to experience the train journey, then a flight to Xining, the closest of the seven gateway cities to Lhasa, and the train from there is the best option.

The third way to travel, for those with the time and money to do it, is the overland route from either Chengdu in Sichuan Province or Xining in Qinghai Province. The two routes cover a distance of around 2,000 kilometers each, and take around 10-12 days to be driven across the plateau to Lhasa. - See more about Sichuan-Tibet Overland Tour

The route from Lhasa to Mount Kailash is an overland route, being driven along the major roads of the region. Covering a distance of around 1,211 kilometers . The route from Lhasa takes the G318 Friendship Highway through Shigatse before turning more northerly on the G219 National Highway, which takes you to the base of the mountain at Darchen. The trip takes between 5-8 days , depending on what else you wish to see in Tibet, and normally includes a side-trip to Mount Everest Base Camp.

When Is the Best Time for a Mount Kailash Tour from the USA?

When traveling to Tibet, there is no “best time” for the trip, as Tibet is a land that can be traveled to at any time of year. However, if you are planning on traveling to Mount Kailash to walk the three-day kora trek, then you need to visit at certain times of the year when the weather is best suited for high-altitude trekking.

The best weather for trekking is normally found from April to June and September to mid Oct . This tends to avoid the rainy season from June to early September, when there could be more hazards in making the trek, although Kailash does not get much rain even in the monsoon. The winter is not a feasible time to trek either, as the snows can make traversing the high pass impossible. Spring and fall are also the time when the weather is not too hot and the skies are free from covering clouds, making the views even more spectacular than ever. - View the Best Time to Visit Mount Kailash in details

How to Budget the Cost for a Mount Kailash Tour from the USA?

The cost of your trip to Mount Kailash largely depends on the type of travel you intend to use and the time of year that you are traveling. If you are planning on using the shoulder seasons of spring and fall for the trip, then there are very few chances of getting a discount, as these are still busy periods for Tibetan tourism.

Once in China, you do have the chance of budgeting on your hotel and travel costs, by simply choosing the slightly less costly options. Trains are much cheaper than flights for getting to Tibet, with price differences being in the range of hundreds of dollars. Even the train from Guangzhou, the farthest gateway city from Lhasa, is much less costly than taking flight from almost any of the cities with direct flights to Tibet. The most expensive train ticket to Lhasa by train is the first-class soft sleeper from Guangzhou, which, at just US$ 230, is much cheaper than the lowest cost flight at around US$ 280 per person.

Another option is that you can choose cheaper Chinese airliner and combine indirect flight with Tibet train journey from Xining to cut the overall cost for transportation.

Once you are in Tibet, your hotels and breakfast is normally part of your tour package, and we can discuss your options to find you the best hotels in your price range to accommodate almost any budget. Your meals after breakfast, however, are your own expense, except where listed as part of the tour. However, eating in Tibet is not an expensive experience, and you can get away with around 8-10 dollars per day for all your food needs.

Accommodation in Lhasa and Shigatse can be very good, and there are 3 - 5-star hotels available in these major cities. However, once you are out in the remote areas around Mount Kailash, the hostels and guesthouses are a little basic. Hot water is only obtained by boiling it on your request in certain guesthouses, and in some places even cold running water is not available. You should be prepared for the most basic of accommodation and bring a sleeping bag for the cold nights. - Check Tibet Accommodation and Hotels in Lhasa, Shigatse and Kailash

Acclimatization to the Tibetan Plateau from the USA

One of the main things that you need to be aware of when traveling to Tibet is the altitude. With an average elevation of more than 4,000 meters, Tibet is a place where altitude sickness is considered to be normal for many tourists. However, with proper acclimatization, you can avoid the worst of the symptoms of altitude sickness and enjoy your trip more.

It requires a day or two to acclimatize properly to the high altitudes of Lhasa and get ready for the trip to even higher elevations around Mount Everest and Mount Kailash. In order to reduce the risk of severe altitude sickness, you should refrain from strenuous exercise for the first 2-3 days once in Tibet, and rest as much as possible. It is okay to tour some of the sights of Lhasa during this period, as they require little strenuous activity, though you should leave the Potala Palace, with its massive steps, until you are used to the altitude. Once you are acclimatized, you will find it easier to acclimatize to even higher altitudes outside Lhasa, as long as you take it slowly and ascend a little at a time.

Traveling Tibet can also be long and arduous, even in the car or bus with the tour. While 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) may not seen that far to travel in the United States, with the road conditions, landscapes, and altitude of the Tibetan plateau, traveling such huge distances take a lot longer. You may also find that the intense temperature differential between day and night can come as a bit of a shock. It is normal on the plateau for the daytime temperature to be nice and arm, while the temperature at night can drop to below freezing very quickly once it gets dark. So, do bring your down jacket and sweater, and other warmer clothes even in summer in Tibet, esp. when traveling in mountainous regions with extreme altitude.

13 Day Lhasa Mt. Everest Mt. Kailash Lake Manasarovar and Kathmandu Adventure Tour

Suggested travel essentials for a mount kailash tour from the usa.

If you are planning a trip to Mount Kailash to walk the kora route, then you need to ensure that you have the right equipment for trekking at high altitudes. Strong and sturdy hiking boots are essential, and you should break them in before you go if you are buying new ones. Blisters from new boots can be very painful over this rugged terrain. Thick, warm socks are also required, and for warmth, it is best to have many thinner layers of clothes that you can remove or add as your body temperature requires.

A good, arctic sleeping bag will be required for the trek around the mountain, as the places you will be staying at have very little in the way of warm blankets and have no central heating. All the heat comes from the central stove. You may also need to camp if the guesthouses at the monasteries are full, and the campsites nearby are suitable for pitching any kind of tent.

Hats are actually more necessary than you might think. Not only can the hat reduce the heat loss through the top of the head, but it can protect your head from the strong UV A rays of the sun. At this high altitude, the atmosphere’s natural UV filter is greatly reduced, and there is a much higher level of UVA radiation, which can cause severe illnesses. You should also have a good pair of UV B filtering sunglasses or snow glasses for protection of your eyes from ultra-violet sunlight and snow blindness.

The trek around the mountain is rough and arduous, and travels over some very rugged terrain and has some steep climbs. For any experienced trekker, a walking stick or two is an essential part of their equipment and acts well as an extra support for the rough terrain that you will need to traverse.

Planning a Mount Kailash tour from the USA is an exciting adventure that requires meticulous planning and consideration of various factors. Ensuring proper travel documents, choosing the best route, and selecting the right time are crucial. Budgeting wisely is essential, and acclimatization to the high altitude is a priority.

By providing a checklist of travel essentials, we are here to help you prepare effectively for an unforgettable travel experience to the sacred Mount Kailash.

Lodging : The quality of lodging services might affect expenses. There are several choices, from affordable guesthouses to standard or luxury hotels.

Meals & Catering : The cost of a tour package may vary depending on the meals included and the kind of catering (standard, vegetarian, or specific dietary requirements).
Guide and Support Personnel : Although they may raise the total cost, adding a guide, porter services, or more support personnel can improve the experience.
Tours for Culture and Sightseeing : Extra sightseeing trips or optional cultural tours may raise the total cost.
Travel Insurance : Depending on the coverage, length of time, and insurer selected, the cost of travel insurance may change.
Miscellaneous Costs : Unexpected charges and personal expenses are examples of miscellaneous expenses that may add to the total cost of the journey.

Regardless, the average cost range generally falls between $3,000 to $6,000. Make sure to carefully review the package details of your travel to ensure the cost is transparent. Also, ask for the cost estimation in advance to prepare yourself for an uninterrupted journey to Kailash Mansarovar.

To stop the spread of sickness, wash your hands frequently and follow all health guidelines.

- Vijay Patel, USA

Har har mahadev,I had a strong desire to visit Kailash Mansarovar, When I started searching for good tour operator, It was very difficult to identify the best one as all were promising the best. In the process when I contacted Max Holidays and asked the contact number of a person who visited Kailash last year, I was provided the number of three person and I contacted one Mr.Nirankar Agarwal who explained the entire process of yatra and with his satisfied experience with Max, I along with two colleagues took up the journey with the Max. Mr. Vishal Gogia, CEO Max and Mr. Girish Vats coordinator attended us at Lucknow Airport and they were all along with us through out the journey. We all were given a personalized care and their coordination at all places with all agencies was superb and none of us had to face any inconvenience. We had a wonderful onward journey to Mansarovar, A divine bath, Hawan Puja at Holi Mansarovar on Full Moon Night and ultimately full parikrama of Kailash which could be completed successfully within two days. Our return journey was also well planned but due to bad weather some of us had to stay at Hilsa for three nights. However, Mr. Vishal did his best to attend everyone. We could see the difference between Max Holidays and other tour operators. Read full review

- Surendra Kumar, New Delhi

Taking care of one's group is great. But helping people of other group is greatest. This we found in Vishal of Max Holidays. When our tour operator, Nepal Pilgrim Travels, Mylapore, was nowhere to be seen and who had left us high and dry, it was Mr.

Vishal who helped us a lot.

Stranded at Hilsa on 3rd July and when some of us were ill he brought in his team doctors immediately and assured us that we would be taken care of. We have all decided that in future our travels would be with Max Holidays. One can be sure that he/ she is in safe hands.

A Complete Guide to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from USA

Last Updated on March 4, 2024 by Treks Planner Nepal

A Complete Guide to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from USA. This article contains all the travel information you want if you intend to go from the USA to Kailash Mansarovar for an intriguing and spiritual yatra. This comprehensive guide, carefully designed for you, covers everything from the necessary visa and permission to your trip from the United States to Nepal. Without the proper knowledge, travel planning to highly protected areas of Tibet, such as Kailash, can be tricky. The purpose of the following article is to keep you informed and help you take the required actions for a smooth and successful travel experience.

Table of Contents

Permit and Visa for the USA-based Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

For your Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from the United States, the two most important paperwork you’ll need are a China visa and a Tibet Travel Permit (TTP). However, you are unable to get these papers on your own. To help you with the visa and permit application procedure, you need to choose an experienced travel company.

Here are some general instructions for getting a Chinese visa and Tibet Travel Permit (TTP):

Choose a tour operator authorized to make getting your travel papers easier.
Make sure the agency has all the information they need to submit your visa application and plan your schedule well in advance.
Make sure the travel agency has accurate and legitimate information.
Since the application procedure takes three working days, you must be in Nepal.
For the application procedure, provide your travel agent with a copy of your visa.
On the first day of the procedure, you need to go to the Chinese embassy to get your biometrics.
The embassy will process Your visa application as soon as they receive and approve it.
You will get your visa for the trip to Kailash on the third day.

Before beginning your Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from the USA, it is in your best interest to fully comprehend the specifics of the visa and permission.

How Much Time Does It Take to Complete the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from the United States?

Our typical Kailash travel schedule calls for a 14-day departure from Kathmandu. It can take you a few more days to get to Nepal if you are going from the United States. The route you choose to go to Kailash also affects how long the trip will take in total. Thus, taking into account several factors, the average length of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from the USA might vary from 15 to 20 days.

From the USA to Nepal: Flights and Transfer Points

For our trip to Kailash, there are several flights available from the United States to Nepal. Several airlines often provide services for international flights to Nepal, including:

Airlines Qatar
Turkish Airlines
Airlines Singapore

Moreover, there isn’t a direct flight to Nepal. To get to Nepal, you must take at least one transition flight. You have a few options for transition points, depending on your preferences. The following are a few of the most popular terminals for flights from the United States to Nepal.

The total duration of your flight might range from 16 hours on average, depending on the route you take. Similarly, a round-trip ticket may set you back about $2,000. The price may change depending on your flight’s US destination, airline, season, and seat selection. If you want to prevent any form of travel delay, make sure you book your ticket well in advance.

Another ideal season to visit Tibet is in the summer, from July to August. This is the busiest travel season, but it’s also the greatest time of year to visit and see Tibetan culture and activities. Therefore, if you’re looking for a peaceful travel season, spring and fall may be your best bet.

How Much Does the Yatra of Kailash Cost?

Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra generally cost from $2000 to $6,000. But the price may vary depending on:

Tour packages and travel companies:

Different travel agencies provide packages with differing levels of extras and services. The agency and the bundle selected might have a big impact on the price.

Travel Season:

During the busiest travel seasons, there may be a greater demand for lodging, transportation, and other services, which might lead to higher costs. In off-peak seasons, there can be discounts.

Duration of Travel and Itinerary:

The length of the Yatra and the specific route chosen might affect costs. Longer trips or more thorough itineraries may incur additional fees.

Accommodation:

The standard of accommodations may have an impact on costs. There are several options, ranging from basic or luxury hotels to reasonably priced guesthouses.

Transportation:

The mode of transportation, such as buses, airplanes, and private cars, can have an impact on the cost of transportation. Private cars and flights are usually more costly than shared or public transportation.

Meals & Catering:

Depending on the kind of catering (standard, vegetarian, or special dietary requirements) and the meals that are included in the trip package, the price may differ.

Guide and Assistant Staff:

The experience can be enhanced by adding a guide, porter services, or extra support staff, even if these may increase the overall cost.

Tours for Sightseeing and Culture:

Additional sightseeing excursions or extra cultural tours may add to the overall cost.

Travel Insurance:

The price of travel insurance may vary depending on the coverage, duration, and insurer chosen.

Miscellaneous Costs:

Unexpected fees and personal expenses are two instances of miscellaneous costs that might raise the overall trip cost.

The typical price range is often in the range of $2,000 to $6,000. Make sure to thoroughly go over the itinerary and other specifics to make sure the price is clear. To ensure a seamless trip to Kailash Mansarovar, make sure to request a cost estimate beforehand.

What Should I Pack for the Kailash Yatra?

A well-thought-out packing list is necessary before embarking on a high-altitude excursion since these things will guarantee your safety in challenging circumstances. Thus, the following items are must-haves for your safe and comfortable Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from the USA:

Warm clothing
Extra pairs of socks and warm gloves
Joggers, cargo pants, and clothing that is waterproof and windproof
Hiking boots
A hot-water bottle

Travel documentation
First aid and prescription medications

Where to Stay during the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

During your visit, a variety of lodging options will be available to you, ranging from luxurious hotels to reasonably cozy guesthouses. We will make every effort to book your accommodations with modern amenities on your journey from the USA to the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. In most cases, you’ll be lodging at some very lovely hotels. However, accommodation options in Mansarovar may not be as upscale as those in Kathmandu, Kerung, Darchen, or Saga. Guesthouses in the Kailash area are comfortable enough for a restful night’s sleep, although they only provide rudimentary amenities. We see to it that your vacation is comfortable from start to finish.

What to Anticipate for the Meals during the Kailash Yatra?

During your Kailash Mansarovar Yatra , we make sure you get healthy food. Our team ensures that all of your meals are vegetarian only. Since most pilgrims during the Yatra consume vegetarian meals, we preserve the traditional aspect of the pilgrimage.

If you’re ready to try the local food, you can find some delicious Tibetan delicacies on the journey to Kailash. Tingmo, thukpa, thenthuk, tsampa, and Tibetan bread are a few examples of regional Tibetan cuisine. For the pilgrims, we also provide 100% vegetarian food with authentic Indian alternatives.

Measures for Health and Safety: Staying Well Throughout the Yatra

The success of the trip is mostly determined by two factors: safety and health. Thus, to guarantee a secure and delightful Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from the USA, adhere to the following health and safety precautions while traveling.

Prioritize hydration by bringing enough water with you to reduce the impacts of high altitude.
Wear weather-appropriate clothes to help you stay safe and adapt to changing temperatures.
Acclimate to high altitudes gradually to lessen the likelihood of altitude-related illnesses.
Bring the essential medications to treat common health conditions as well as basic first aid supplies.
To keep your energy levels stable when traveling, eat a nutritious, well-balanced diet that gives priority to foods that are appropriate for high altitudes.
Wash your hands often to prevent the transmission of illness, and abide by all health recommendations.
Get physically fit before the Yatra to improve your endurance and stamina.
Identify any possible health hazards connected to the trip and get personalized advice from medical specialists.

Tips for Choosing Your Travel Company for the Kailash Yatra

The quality of your trip might be greatly influenced by the agency you choose. Therefore, when selecting your travel agency, keep the following factors in mind for a successful trip from the USA to Kailash Mansarovar:

Choose a travel agency that prioritizes your safety. Pick one that follows safety protocols and has knowledgeable guides to ensure pilgrims are safe throughout the trek. Success rate: Select a tour operator with a strong track record of completing the Kailash Yatra. A dependable and knowledgeable crew makes sure your journey is successful and rewarding.

Religious element:

Kailash Mansarovar from USA for Americans & NRIs: Biggest Guide Ever!

Last Updated on May 5, 2024 by asoulwindow

Kailash Mansarovar from USA for Americans & NRIs

During Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in Tibet autonomous region of China, I realized that more American NRIs than I had imagined, embark upon this once in a lifetime yatra every year. Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is not just another trek or picnic but it is an inward journey and a matter of deep faith in Shiva Bhagwan . This exhaustive guide on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra for NRI answers all the frequently asked questions.

NRIs, while residing outside India, often maintain strong cultural and religious ties. Undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a way for them to connect with their roots and participate in a spiritual journey that is deeply embedded in the Indian cultural fabric .

Even after an Indian Hindu has left India, he carries the faith with him. The belief in all the Gods and Goddesses from the Hindu pantheon never diminishes even when the NRIs or non-resident Indians relocate to a foreign country like USA. This is the reason why so many Indians travel back to various places in India such as Varanasi and even Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

Soul Window Observations

Despite their acquired American accents and a borrowed American lifestyle, the NRIs chant ‘Har Har Mahadev’ and ‘Om Namah Shivay’ with full surrender and complete faith in Shiv Bhagwan .

I met and interviewed several American NRIs during Kailash Manasarovar Yatra. All of them told me how lucky they feel to have been able to complete the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra so successfully, without any vighna or obstacle.

Can Americans go to Mount Kailash?

Are Americans allowed to go to Mount Kailash? Yes, of course. Every year, many American NRIs (non-Resident Indians) and even many Caucasian Americans visit Mount Kailash and nearby areas in Tibet with much enthusiasm.

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a spiritual journey to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, situated in the Himalayas. While primarily open to Indian citizens, same routes are also allowed for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to participate.

What is the eligibility for American NRIs to participate in Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

NRIs typically need to follow the same application process, including obtaining necessary permits from the Indian government. It’s advisable to check with the Ministry of External Affairs or the authorized tour agencies for the most accurate and up-to-date information on eligibility and procedures for NRIs undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

I am sharing a detailed checklist of travel essentials required for American NRIS in this blog. This is the most detailed blog on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra for American NRIs or American citizens.

How can American NRIs prepare for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

Mount Kailash Tour from USA need special preparation because of the distances and different set of rules. The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a significant pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists, Bons and Jains. The journey usually involves circumambulating Mount Kailash and taking a dip in Lake Mansarovar, believed to cleanse one of sins and bring spiritual enlightenment.

NRIs interested in the yatra should be aware of the specific guidelines and requirements set by the Indian government. They may need to coordinate with the designated authorities, obtain necessary permits, and adhere to the prescribed routes and timelines.

The yatra is physically demanding due to high altitudes, so participants, including NRIs, should ensure they are in good health and adequately prepared for the challenging conditions. I highly recommend American NRIs to plan well in advance and stay informed about any updates or changes in the pilgrimage process. The rules keep changing and a local tour guide can best provide the immediate changes in policies.

Why NRIs from USA go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

Mount Kailash, considered sacred in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon religions, attracts pilgrims seeking a profound connection with their faith, along with an adventurous journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Tibet.

NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) from the USA, like other pilgrims from around the world, undertake the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra for various reasons:

Religious and Spiritual Beliefs: Many Hindus believe that Mount Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. The pilgrimage is seen as a way to attain spiritual blessings and purification.
Cultural and Historical Significance: Kailash Mansarovar is not only a religious site but also holds cultural and historical importance. Pilgrims may be drawn to experience the rich cultural heritage associated with the region.
Personal Transformation: The arduous journey to Kailash Mansarovar is often considered a test of one’s physical and mental endurance. Pilgrims undertake the yatra seeking personal transformation, self-discovery, and a deeper connection with their faith.
Symbolic Representation: For some, the physical act of circumambulating Mount Kailash is symbolic of the spiritual journey towards self-realization and enlightenment. It is believed that one parikrama (circumambulation) around Mount Kailash can wash away a lifetime of sins.
Adventure and Nature: Apart from its religious significance, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra offers breathtaking landscapes and a unique adventure. Pilgrims may be drawn to the natural beauty of the region, including the pristine Mansarovar Lake and the challenging trek around Mount Kailash.
Global Indian Diaspora Connection: NRIs, while residing outside India, often maintain strong cultural and religious ties. Undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a way for them to connect with their roots and participate in a spiritual journey that is deeply embedded in the Indian cultural fabric.

Kailash Manasarovar Yatra from USA for Americans and NRIs

Mansarovar Yatra from USA is very popular. So many American NRIS perform the yatra every year with much enthusiasm and excitement. Large families often travel all the way from USA to Tibet to participate in the yatra . I met many American NRIs whose families settled in USA decades ago. They told me about their experience of the yatra with me which I am sharing below:

Vipul Kumar from Boston , United States of America, who is in his mid-30s, tells me,

“This is my first time at Mount Kailash and I have come all the way from Boston in United States. I am a pharmaceutical researcher by profession. This has been a wonderful experience. Even the vegetarian Sattvik food I was served here was exceptionally good and had a lot of variety. Kailash Mansarovar Yatra indeed is a yatra of a lifetime.”

Akhil Srivastava from London, UK, also in his 30s said,

“This is my first Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. It is a very nice experience. Just after we crossed the border, I noticed that the food cooked for the yatris is also very good. Everyone must do Kailash Mansarovar Yatra at least once in their lifetime.”

The information I have shared here are true for non-American NRIs as well.

Why am I the right person to talk about Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

Well, while I participated in Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, I met manyNRIs and did deep conversations with them. Also, my aunt is an American NRI since 1980s, so I understand the need of NRIs well. I have quote some of the NRIs I interviewed during the yatra in this blog.

Having done the yatra myself left me with a rich experience. I now know what it takes to actually do the yatra . The hardships and challenges faced during the yatra is best understood when experienced. Of all the people who have done the yatra , I am the only one who has documented it in a blog.

This is why you can rely on all the information regarding NRI travel in Tibet for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra which I have shared here in great detail. You can easily plan Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from USA using this detailed guide.

Based on my personal experiences, this complete guide on Kailash Mansarovar from USA for Americans & NRIs covers all the questions you may think of!

You can-not go on Kailash Manasarovar Yatra until He calls you!

Each year, very few Indians get the permit to embark upon the epic Kailash Manasarovar Yatra in their lifetime. The ones who do are considered to be the luckiest ones. I feel unless and until Shiv ji calls you, it is impossible for you to perform the parikrama during Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, come what may.

No matter how much money, power and privilege you have, if Lord Shiva doesn’t want to see you, you will never make it there!

I firmly feel I was called by Shiv ji . I didn’t even know much about Kailash Manasarovar Yatra until I found myself performing kora or parikrama around the holy Kailash Parvat . It was a sudden invite for me, much like a summon by the God. I realized how lucky I was to go on the holy Kailash Manasarovar Yatra only after I returned back.

Now when I think of it, all the NRIs from United States of America are also some of the luckiest people who God called. It is not easy to go on Kailash Manasarovar Yatra from USA. The fact that the American NRIs I met were not only able to visit Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake but also perform parikrama around Mount Kailash without any hindrance such as falling sick, cancelled flights, bad weather etc, means something. They have the blessing of Shiva Bhagwan .

How to Plan a Mount Kailash Tour from the USA?

How to Plan Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from America? Kailash Mansarovar from USA for Americans & NRIs need special planning. Let me tell you how you can easily plan Kailash Mansarovar Yatra for NRI. In this guide, I am sharing how it works for travelling from USA to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

It is not an easy trip to make which means it involves a lot of planning. The number of devotees who go on yatra every year, whether Indian citizen or American citizen is very less.

When I went on yatra , I noticed that overall pilgrim footfall during the yatra was pretty low in numbers due to low cost and difficulty in reaching. Almost half the Hindu pilgrims who I met during the yatra were well spoken NRIs, mostly from USA. That said, with improved facilities, more and more fixed departure groups of NRIs are planned every year.

Mount Kailash Tour from USA must be done with a local guide. Let me assure you that once you book with one of the mandatory tour operators, they will take care of the rest and you will not have to worry and plan about hotels, transport choices, food etc. Of course, you can let them know about your preferences in terms of food, accommodation, transport etc based upon your fitness level, time at hand and budget.

How many flights American NRIs need to take from USA to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

To embark upon a journey to Mount Kailash from the United States of America indeed involves very long and arduous travels. The travel from USA to Nepal or China itself is very taxing and drains physically and emotionally. Add to it, 1-2 days required to recover from the jet lag.

The long-haul flight from places like Los Angeles or San Francisco in USA to Nepal or China , followed by more flights, train or overland road trip to get into Tibet is definitely demanding in my experience. You must be physically fit and faithful to cover this first leg of the yatra .

How to reach West Tibet for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from USA?

The American NRIs need to reach either India, Nepal or China first to start their journey of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Once the NRI pilgrims reach Nepal or China from United States of America, then they can arrive at Taklakot via either flights or road from Nepal.

From other places in China, you can take an overland journey to Tibet and can even include a trip to Lhasa. You must note that the overland journey takes many days to arrive at Darchen near Mount Kailash.

You must mentally prepare for long road trips. However, I feel that the road trip within Tibet itself is so scenic that it is a yatra or journey itself. Enjoy the views and make stops till you reach Taklakot or Darchen.

I had flown from India to Kathmandu from where I took a private taxi to Shyafrubensi via Langtang National Park. The last place in Nepal where I arrived by car was Ghattekhola, Rasuwa Gadhi before I crossed over to Tibet via foot. My first stop in Tibet was Kyirong, followed by Saga, Taklakot, Mansarovar, Darchen, Deraphuk and Zuthulphuk .

I highly recommend that you take this route because it is picturesque, full of adventure and leaves you with a deeper understanding of the Tibetan culture . From my personal experience, it is an adventure of a lifetimes. I have travelled a lot across the world since the year 2008 and needless to say the yatra is still my personal best trip yet. Do read my exhaustive blog on road trip to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Nepal .

Is it easy to go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Tour from the USA?

How to plan for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Tour from the USA? It is definitely not straightforward and simple to do Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Tour from the United States of America? You must plan months in advance to see the dream come true. Hours of meticulous planning and taking into account several factors is just the tip of the iceberg.

Choosing the best time to go, allocating budget, arranging for the proper travel documents, buying the right clothing and gears, comparing services of tour agents, learning about acclimatization at high altitudes, selecting the best possible route suitable for you,

Now you know that it is not as easy as going to Chichen Itza from USA. But if you are reasonably fit and have enough budget to spend on this yatra , then an unforgettable travel experience to the sacred Kailash Parvat awaits you!

What is the cost of Kailash Mansarovar tour from USA?

What is the price of Kailash Mansarovar tour from USA? How to Budget the Cost for a Mount Kailash Tour from the USA? These are some frequently asked questions. First things first! Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from America is not cheap by any means.

Well, I think money is not really the issue with most American NRIs. Most of the Non-Resident Indians living in various parts of USA such as New York, Florida, California, Texas etc either own profitable businesses or are employed in good position at reputed places.

Almost all the Indian NRIs living in USA are well off and have deep pockets. The American dollar anyways is more powerful in Tibet, China and other parts of Asia . Therefore, the cost of Kailash Mansarovar tour from USA is affordable for most NRI Americans. One major unavoidable cost which NRIs from USA have to bear are the expensive flights from USA to China or Nepal.

The time of the year and type of travel such as flights/overland/train rides also decide the budget for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra tour. For example, summer and even the shoulder season of spring and fall months are the most expensive ones due to high demand and high footfall of tourists in Tibet.

You can bring down the costs by choosing to not stay in luxury hotels, traveling in big groups, joining other groups, taking cheaper trains instead of flights etc. To explain this better, train from Guangzhou, which is the farthest city in mainland China from Tibet is also cheaper than flight from anywhere in mainland China.

Here is one more idea! You can also try a combination of cheaper Chinese airliner with trains to bring down the cost. Connecting flights to Xining, followed by a short train journey to Lhasa is also a good option. All said and done, let me repeat that Mount Kailash Tour from USA is definitely an expensive one.

But as I said earlier money alone can not guarantee your participation in the epic Kailash Mansarovar tour from USA. Until Lord Shiva wants to see you, it really is not possible to go on this journey, even despite of all your wealth.

Can American NRIs travel Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from India?

Mansarovar Yatra from USA can be easily done via India too. Some American NRIs I know have many family friends and relatives living in various parts of India such as Kolkata,New Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi etc. Therefore, they mostly club a visit to India either before the yatra or after the yatra or both, depending on their budget and the time they have.

Yes, it is possible for NRI Americans to go on Kailash Mansarovar tour from India via Nepal. After visiting their friends and family, NRIs fly to Nepal from India, followed by their journey into Taklakot in West Tibet by either a road trip or helicopter ride from Hilsa in Nepal to Taklakot .

It is not every day that NRI Americans travel to India due to various issues such as lack of leaves from office/business, exams of their kids, health issues etc. Therefore, it is a golden chance for American Indians to easily club a trip to India along-with Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

The fact that Tibet is located so close to India and shares a long border makes things even easier. NRIs can easily meet their family and friends in India and perform the yatra on the same trip as well. However, to make this work smoothly, the most challenging part is to manage at least a month-long- leaves from work. It is however, easier to manage so much time for housewives, students and retired people.

What are the Travel Documents Required for a Mount Kailash Tour from the USA?

Red-tapism in China is as rampant as in India. Needless to say, the process to get permits for travel within Tibet as an American is not a straightforward one. If you are planning Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from United States of America, you must keep these things in mind.

The process is long and tiring, whether it is obtaining the Chinese Visa for Americans, or the special permits required by all foreign national to travel within the Tibet Autonomous Region, which includes getting at Mount Kailasha and performing parikrama around the holy mountain.

Why American NRIs must book Kailash Mansarovar Yatra with a tour agent?

That said, if you hire a good travel agent then it is half the battle won. The travel agent will do all the boring admin work for you for an extra fee. The good news is that most of these permits, issued by the Chinese government are applied for the tour operators once you have booked the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra tour with them.

Several Kailash Mansarovar Yatra packages include these permits. I had booked with a tour agent as well and I must say that it was a very smooth process which required very minimal work from my side. Having said that, there are still some processes which you need to do yourself.

To summarize, in order to get close to Mount Kailash you must sort out various aspects of Chinese red tape. And always remember that the choosing the best Kailash Mansarovar tour from USA makes all the difference.

Tibet Travel Permit Required for American NRIs doing Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

One more reason why American NRIs must book Kailash Mansarovar Yatra with a tour agent is that it is mandatory for a non-Chinese citizen to travel anywhere in Tibet with a guide. No Americans are allowed entry in Tibet without a local tour guide. For the same reason, a tall English speaking Chinese tourist guide (who despised Indian food) accompanied us throughout the yatra .

These permits are mandatory if American NRIs want to travel to anywhere Tibet including Taklakot or Purang/Burang , Mansarovar Lake , Rakshas Taal , Gauri Kund and Mount Kailash . You don’t need to worry though. Since, it is not allowed to visit Tibet without a tour agency, so rest assured your chosen tour agent will arrange for these permits without you even asking them to.

As soon as you book Kailash Mansarovar Yatra with your chosen tour operator, the first thing he or she will do is arrange for your permits.

Do American NRIs require a Visa to do Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

Kailash Mansarovar from USA for Americans & NRIs required the individual to get a Visa. Yes, it is mandatory for American NRIs to obtain a Chinese Visa before embarking upon Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

If you are an Indian origin person and an American citizen holding American Passport then you must obtain a Chinese Visa before entering anywhere in Tibet or China.

You must remember that Indian origin U.S. citizens should have a valid passport which is valid at least 6 months beyond their departure date to enter anywhere in Tibet or China. U.S. citizens are also required to obtain a Chinese visa. Failing any of these will result in the rejection of your entry in Tibet by the Chinese officials.

Which documents are required for procuring permits for American NRIs doing Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

For the Tibet travel permit, an American NRI must submit a scanned copy of his or her American passport and visa on mail to the tour operator. The tour operator then takes care of the rest of procedure and no actionable is required from the applicant. It takes a total of approximately 20 days or slightly less or more for the documents to be processed.

In my case, once I had arrived in China, my tour operator had delivered the Tibet Travel Permit directly to my hotel in Kathmandu (or mainland China in your case). I had ensured that the permits are delivered to me even before I caught the started from Kathmandu. I had booked the yatra with a Nepali tour agent.

In case you are flying into Tibet from China or Nepal or taking the popular Tibet train to Lhasa, make sure you receive the permits before entering Tibet.

Which permits American NRI devotees require after arriving in Tibet?

Which permits are required for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from America? This is a frequently asked question by the NRIs living in USA. After I arrived in Tibet, my local Chinese tour guide asked me for the original copy of my passport and original copy of my Chinese Visa.

These documents are required to obtain the Frontier Pass, Alien’s Travel Permit and the Military Permit , all of which are essential permits mandatory for visiting holy places such as Mount Kailash, Mansarovar Lake and other nearby places such as Yam Dwar, Rakshas Taal etc.

Soul Window Thoughts

These Tibet travel permits are required from American NRIs to travel to other parts of Tibet as well such as the picturesque Qomolangma National Park , which I visited after the yatra and even the Tibetan side of Mount Everest . For record, I have done Everest Base Camp Trek from Nepal . Do check out my detailed Nepal blogs .

But worry not, my Chinese tourist guide ensure that all the permits were sorted and readily available even before I began the road trip to the next destination in Tibet. It will be the same for you! You just need to choose the right tour operator.

Do only Indian Americans go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

Traditionally, mostly Indian NRIs or Indian origin American citizens go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. However, this is not always true. I was surprised to meet 3-4 Americans travelling around Mount Kailash, Mansarovar Lake, Rakshas Taal and many other places in Tibet during my 15 days long road trip across West Tibet and Nepal .

You will be surprised to know that throughout the year many white Christian Americans visit different parts of Tibet as well. Of course, spirituality is not their aim. (or maybe it is!) There are several exciting trekking trails around Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake which attracts the Caucasian Americans.

I must add that the reasons for undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra can vary among individuals, and while some may be motivated by religious beliefs, others such as Caucasians may approach it as a cultural or adventurous experience .

It is well known that it is prohibited to climb on Mount Kailash which is sacred to Hindus , Bon people , Jains as well as devout Buddhists . The adventure enthusiasts from U.S.A. go on several treks around Mount Kailash. Some Caucasian Americans even stay in this region for months and practise Yoga and meditation apart from Buddhist monastery hopping , hikes and treks .

The sheer raw beauty of the Tibetan landscape , Tibetan way of life, mystical monasteries like Chiu Gompa , rich endemic wildlife and the rough terrains of Ladakh like Tibet also attract the Caucasian American citizens to Tibet.

During my deep travels in both Ladakh and Tibet, I realised that the above-mentioned factors are also the reason why many Americans visit Ladakh in India every summer. Ladakh and Tibet share international borders . The food, culture, wildlife , climate, temperatures, landscapes and religions of both Ladakh and Tibet are strikingly similar with each other.

To summarize, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from United States of America is also performed by Caucasian Americans who are more interested in trek and adventure than spirituality .

Chinese Visa for American Citizens and NRIs

Mansarovar Yatra from USA also involves dealing with the Chinese red-tapism. The first step towards Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is to get a Chinese Entry Visa . It is mandatory for travel within Tibet because China controls Tibet as of now. Same Chinese Visa rules apply for Caucasian American Citizens as well as Non-Resident Indians who hold American passports and have American Citizenships.

In most instances, NRIs traveling within West Tibet (where the yatra takes place near the trijunction of India, Nepal and Tibet) choose to travel through China. Needless to say, the Chinese Visa can be easily obtained from the local Embassy of the People’s Republic of China.

Some of the main offices of the embassy of the People’s Republic of China in USA from where you can apply for the Visa of China are listed as below:

Houston, Texas
Chicago, Illinois
Washington D.C.
Los Angeles, California
San Francisco, California
New York, New York State

Of all the Chinese embassies scattered around USA, the main embassy which is located in Washington D.C. serves several other states of USA. To add, other consular offices around the United States of America serve other states in groups. I am sure you didn’t know about this little-known information.

As an American NRI, you may either apply for the Chinese Visa by personally visiting the above- mentioned Chinese Embassy in USA or send a mail using the U.S. Postal Service registered mail. If choosing this option, then you must also include a pre-paid return envelope.

Should elderly American NRIS go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

In my opinion, the best time to go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is between 18- 60 years of age. However, I have seen older people on the yatra as well. Many NRI devotees do not do complete parikrama but have darshan till the North face of Kailash Parbat in Deraphuk and return back to their hotels in Darchen, located merely 15 minutes away on a car.

I have seen elderly people facing breathing issues and many were unable to complete the yatra . Having said that, elderly people may still do it well depending upon the fitness. I know many 70 and 80 years old who have done Everest Base Camp Trek with some assistance. Elderly people may also hire pony horses in case they are not fit to climb or walk long distances.

All said and done, I highly recommend that you go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra before the age of 50.

How do I get to Kailash Mansarovar from USA?

How should the American NRIs choose the best way to travel to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake from the USA?

Reaching Tibet in China from USA was never straightforward. The American NRI travellers need to suffer several hours of various connecting journeys, long transit periods in airports which is sometimes followed by picturesque train travel or overland journey to the holy Kailash Parvat and Mansarovar Lake.

From what I have observed, most of the NRI Americans catch a flight to China or Nepal or India from various major American airports such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas and New York.

The good news is that there are so many direct flights available from most of the above-mentioned major international airports of United States of America to main cities in China . Main cities with international airports in China till where you can catch a direct flight from USA include metropolises like Shanghai, Beijing, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Qingdao and Nanjing.

What’s more? You will be spoiled for choices because apart from the direct flights between USA and China, several other indirect flights or connecting flights run between USA and many other locations in different parts of China.

The prices of the flights heavily depend on the season, demand, which airport you are departing from, which airport you are arriving at in China/Nepal or India. That said, expect to pay around US$ 500 to US$ 1000 on direct flights. There is no way you can take a direct flight to Lhasa because despite having an international airport, only international flights from Nepal are allowed in Lhasa.

How Americans NRIs can travel from mainland China to Tibet by flight?

In case you have arrived directly in China as an American NRI, then you will have 3 options to reach Tibet. No prizes for guessing that flights from destinations in mainland China to Tibet is the fastest option (but oh-so-boring!). Many places in mainland China such as Xi’an, Chongqing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Beijing have direct flights to Lhasa in Tibet.

Here, I must add that Chengdu to Lhasa flights are the most popular for various reasons. China is a big country, so expect to spend anywhere from 1 hour to 8 hours in flights depending upon your departure airport.

How Americans NRIs can travel from mainland China to Tibet by train?

How to go Kailash Mansarovar from United States of America by railway? It is a commonly asked question.

The second and most exciting way to reach Tibet from mainland China is to take the fast trains. Luckily, Lhasa is connected to as many as 7 gateway cities in mainland China by trains. I find trains very exciting as you can see more of the landscape instead of being holed up in a plane. Trains also allow more movement.

The only disadvantage trains have is the time taken. Expect to spend anywhere between 22 hours and 55 hours in a train to reach Tibet from various places in mainland China such as Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Lanzhou and Xining in that order.

Personally, I am a freelancer and do not work in a desk job, so I can afford to travel long distances in a train for over 2-3 days. In fact, I often do that only for the pleasure of long train rides in beautiful locations like Tibet .

I highly recommend that you must experience the train journey to Tibet at least once in your lifetime. It is an experience in itself! In case you are pressed for time, like sadly most people are these days, but you still want to experience a train to Tibet, then I would suggest that you must catch the train to Lhasa from Xining , which has the closest train station from Tibet. This indeed is the best option if time is an issue. But then you will have to plan to reach Xining as well.

How Americans NRIs can travel from mainland China to Tibet by road trip?

How to go Kailash Mansarovar from United States of America? All said and done, if time and money is not an issue, then I highly recommend a scenic overland journey to Tibet like I did. While I did the road trip to Darchen, Taklakot and Mansarovar in Tibet via a road trip from Kathmandu in Nepal, you may take the overland route from either Chengdu in Sichuan Province or Xining in Qinghai Province of mainland China. The Sichuan-Tibet overland tour is one of the most scenic routes you will ever take.

Both Sichuan-Tibet and Chengdu-Tibet routes are roughly 2000 kilometers long. Needless to say, it is not for everyone. Unless you have passion for travel like me, do not try this as it can be very tiring. It can take as many as approximately 11-12 days to drive across the plateau to Lhasa by these two routes from mainland China.

Distance between Lhasa and Darchen near Mount Kailash is approximately 1,211 kilometers. The overland route between the two major regions of Tibet is picture postcard perfect! It can take anywhere between 5 to 9 days to cover the distance between Lhasa and Darchen.

The number of days vary depending upon the side trips and long stops you wish to take. There are temptations galore in Tibet and you may easily end up extending your plans or include more places as your drive. This is why you must also keep at least 3-5 days in buffer.

For example, you may want to do this-17-days long epic tour known as Kailash Manasarovar Full Moon Tour & Guge Kingdom Exploration. This is the route:

Lhasa – Gyantse – Shigatse – Everest Base Camp – Saga – Darchen – Zanda – Kailash Trek – Darchen – Saga – Gyirong – Tingri – Lhasa

The overland route from Lhasa to Mount Kailash is not to be missed! I have been on such long road trips many times in the past and can again do it. But if this is not your cup of tea, then take the above-mentioned train and flights options.

To arrive at Darchen from Lhasa, you will be driven on the baby bottom smooth roads on the scenic G318 Friendship Highway through Shigatse. You will finally arrive at Darchen after driving on the G219 National Highway in the north direction for few hours. I highly recommend that you make several pit-stops during this road trip.

Some of the scenes you can come across include large herds of yaks grazing on grass, change of landscape every few minutes, small Tibetan villages en route etc. During my road trip across West Tibet, I had also stopped at some small towns, monasteries and abandoned homes en route .

If you have some extra time and budget, then I highly recommend you to stop at the Mount Everest Base Camp . Thank me later.

How Americans NRIs can travel from Nepal to Tibet?

How do I get to Kailash Mansarovar from USA via Nepal? Well, I did Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from Nepal and found it to be very exciting.

For more fulfilment, I advise you to fly from USA to Kathmandu, Nepal to join Kailash Mansarovar tour. This is the route I took. It made sense to have divine darshan of Lord Pashupati at the world-famous Pashupati Nath Mandir , located near Thamel in the heart of Kathmandu .

It was a soul stirring moment for me to have grand darshan of the supreme God in this famous Kathmandu temple and attend the energetic evening aarti . The auspicious start to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in Kathmandu ensured my yatra was successful. With the blessings of Bholenath, I was able to complete the parikrama successfully without any health issues or other obstacles. From Kathmandu I did a road trip till the border town of Kyirong in Tibet .

While in Kathmandu, you can also pay a visit to Vishnu Narayan Temple and Guheshwari Mata Temple. You can do this independently or request your tour operator to arrange for it. Some tour agents include a visit to these Hindu temples in the Kailash Yatra package meant for USA passport holders.

Soul Window Moments

What’s more? I even spent many days at Deraphuk, the north face of Kailash Parbat for many days. I feel very lucky because not many get this opportunity! I cried while meditating facing Kailash Parbat and saw many miracles . Do read all my blogs on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra to know my experience!

It is very easy to find reasonably priced direct as well as connecting flights from many international airports in USA such as Los Angeles, Washington DC, San Francisco to the humble Tribhuvan International airport located in Kathmandu , Nepal.

Normally, tour agents who offer Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake tour from USA, do not include the return flight costs in their package. However, you may request the tour operators to book the flight tickets for you at additional cost. If you have time to research, you can book the ticket yourself as well because this will save you money.

After you arrive at the Kathmandu Tribhuvan International airport, you must visit the designated office of immigration officer which is located right inside the airport. This is where American NRIs are issued Nepal VoA or Visa on Arrival. On the other hand, Indian citizens do not need any Visa.

Once you get hold of the Nepalese Visa , you can walk through the customs and exit the airport. If you have already booked your transfer to the pre-booked hotel, then a representative is likely to come to airport to pick you up. I recommend this for smoothly arriving at your cozy room after a long tiring journey (and jet lag).

How to obtain China entry visa at Kathmandu as American NRIs?

As an American passport holder, you can easily approach China Embassy in Kathmandu and apply for the Visa of China. Starting from April, 2023, The Chinese government has made it compulsory to go through biometrics before you submit the passport for China visa. This new rule is mandatory for all non-Indian passport holders.

But worry not! It is not as complicated as it sounds. Since you will be traveling with a tour operator, he will arrange for it and will also collect your passport for submitting to the Chinese embassy. On an average the Chinese embassy officials take around 2-3 working days to grant visa to American passport holders.

You can spend this time exploring the lovely city of Kathmandu and the nearby Nagarkot . You can also make a quick excursion to Jomsom , the Muktinath Temple in the Mustang region of Nepal or even take an adventurous mountain flight . Head office of many tour operators who arrange yatra is located in New Delhi . You must check with them if you want to book in advance.

Fly to Nepalgunj from Kathmandu airport

Here you have two options. You can take a road trip from Kathmandu to Shyafrubensi via Langtang National Park. Head next day to Rasuwa Gadhi in Nepal and cross over to Kyirong in Tibet. This is what I did. I find it very exciting and adventurous.

Other option is that you take a direct flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj. The flight duration between Kathmandu and Nepalgunj is only one hour. Nepalgunj, which is located in Western Nepal does not have good roads from Kathmandu. This is why, all the pilgrims take this short flight to Nepalgunj.

Western Nepal is also much poorer and has inferior road connectivity and is when compared to the more prosperous and touristy Eastern and Central regions of Nepal. However, since Nepalgunj, which is located close to Tibet is the gateway to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, it is easy to find decent, if not luxurious hotels, homestays and lodges here.

Reaching Nepalgunj from Lucknow

How to go Kailash Mansarovar from USA via India? Here is a tip for you! You can also reach Nepalgunj via Lucknow. I am sure you didn’t know this. Not many realize that Nepalgunj, the small city in West Nepal is located very close to Lucknow and Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh . In fact, I myself crossed over to Dhangadhi in West Nepal from Dudhwa National Park near Lucknow.

Dhangadhi to Nepalgunj distance is only 183 kilometers and it takes only 4 hours and 15 minutes to travel via Mahendra Highway/AH2/H01. Lucknow to Nepalgunj distance is 188 kilometers and it takes around 4 hours and 15 minutes via NH927. Kailash Yatra from USA can be very easily planned in this way as well.

Many American NRIs such as my Mausi have several relatives living in Lucknow and other cities of Uttar Pradesh. So, it is a great idea to start your journey from Lucknow. This way you can meet your relatives, friends etc and also go on yatra . After all, no NRIs travel to Asia from USA often. So, why not make good use of it.

Fly from Nepalgunj to Simikot

Simikot, which is situated in the Karnali Province of Nepal is where the NRI devotees spend a night before proceeding towards Taklakot aka Purang or Burang in West Tibet to continue your Kailash Mansarovar Yatra which you started all the way from United States of America. This is the last test you will endure before arriving in Taklakot.

Simikot, which is a small hill settlement in upper Western Himalayas of Nepal is home to a very small airport and helipad which serves the entire Humla district. Guesthouses, lodges and hotels with Indian food and common toilets are available here. These are basic but set in a picturesque location.

This is the trickiest part of the journey. After arriving at Hilsa via Simikot from Nepalgunj , you may face some problems. I have heard of countless stories of yatris or pilgrims stranded in Hilsa or Simikot due to unfavorable weather conditions . Poor infrastructure, bad facilities and lack of good roads only adds to the woes. Flight delays are very common in this region due to unpredictable weather.

The flight takes anywhere around 50 minutes to one hour to cover the distance between Nepalgunj and Simikot. The direction, weather, wind speed etc decide the duration of flights often. These are often small aircrafts which accommodate only 18-20 passengers at a given time. Watch out for the spectacular bird’s eye view of the stunningly beautiful Nepalese Himalayas from the flight.

I have flown in such airplanes many times including Kathmandu to Lukla for Everest Base Camp Trek and Kathmandu to Pokhara . Since Simikot is not accessible by the National Road network of Nepal, therefore it is only possible to reach here by flights.

There are not many service providers in Nepal who manage such flights on Dornier aircrafts. These flights are mostly included in your package.

Board a chartered Helicopter flight to Hilsa

From Simikot, the devotees need to take helicopters to reach Hilsa. It is a short flight between Hilsa and Simkot which lasts merely 25 minutes. However, it is not uncommon to hear helicopter rides between Simikot and Hilsa getting cancelled due to bad weather. The same happened many times when I was doing the yatra .

At such flights in Nepal, I am mostly glued to the window seat because the views in these regions of Nepal are amazing. Expect breathtaking views of green mountains, small villages, water bodies, dramatic landscapes and snow-clad mountains during the flight.

Your final destination in Nepal during the yatra via this route is Hilsa which is a small and charming Nepalese village located near the Tibetan border . These helicopter rides are managed by the tour agents for you, so you don’t need to worry. They also take care of you in case there is a health emergency or stranding due to bad weather.

Hilsa to Tibet: How to go Kailash Mansarovar from USA?

Once you reach Hilsa, you need to make the final journey to Taklakot, also known as Burang or Purang. Do read my detailed blog on Taklakot for more information. The devotees are now driven on luxury buses to your respective hotel after completing the boring immigration and custom formalities at the border.

I stayed in a semi-luxury hotel. Burang is one of those few hotels in West Tibet which have semi-luxury hotels. There are no ultra luxurious hotels here. Before you arrive at the hotel, you will again be stopped for further customs and body screening.

Personally, I relaxed at my hotels, explored the nearby vibrant markets and ancient Buddhist monasteries and took it slow. I stayed in Taklakot for many days and understand the place well. From Burang, both Mansarovar Lake, Rakshas Taal and Darchen are located very close to each other.

What should American NRIs pack for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

To visit Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), you must dress according to the local weather and carry some essentials such as dry fruits, walking sticks, Diamox (to fight AMS) etc.

It is also advisable to arrange for your travel cum medical insurance before leaving United States of America.

I have already shared a complete list of necessary packing list for Kailash Mansarovar travel for American travelers in my blog. This detailed blog has the checklist of everything you will ever need for the yatra .

Why all American NRIs must go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

United States of America has a huge Indian diaspora who have been living in USA since more than 4 or 5 decades. Despite such a long time in a foreign nation, the Indians who are now American citizens have not given up on their rituals, customs, traditions, language and even Indian accent.

In fact, I feel that the Indian people living in USA as American citizens are even more closely connected with their roots than Indians living in India. For example, my mausa ji or maternal uncle who lives in California plays tabla and does riyaz (practice) daily and my mausi or maternal aunt cooks delicious Indian food every day and is still eager to learn more Indian recipes .

Their daughters, now in their 40s have been practicing Indian Classical dances like Kathak and Bharatnatyam since childhood. To compare, I do not know many Indian families living in India who do that. They keep asking me how to plan Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from California. This is why I wrote this blog.

Most of the well-educated and rich Indian diaspora living across USA as American citizens are Hindu and practice their faith religiously. The biggest wish of a devout Hindu is to go on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra at least once. It is the holiest of all the Hindu pilgrimages along-with Govardhan Parikrama near Mathura . This is why so many American NRIs embark upon Kailash Mansarovar Yatra every summer.

When Is the Best Time for a Mount Kailash Tour from the USA?

Well, I traveled to the West Tibet region for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in the second week of August, around the Indian Independence Day. I observed that August is indeed the best time for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. I noticed that the days are warm and nights are cold in Tibet in August.

It drizzled slightly on the first day of my parikrama , but it was easily manageable because it doesn’t rain much in Tibet. The rainy season in Tibet fall in the months of June, July, August and September. Much like the adjoining Ladakh in India, even at the peak of monsoon , the rainfall in the entire Tibet region isn’t much.

This is why some people also go for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in September and October, which is drier, but colder (and manageable). Basically, to sum up, April to October is the best time for trekking in this region. This is also when many white people from America also visit Tiber for adventures , road trips and high-altitude treks .

Though with new facilities and better connectivity, you can travel to Tibet throughout the year now, but summer is the most popular time for performing parikrama during Kailash Mansarovar Yatra due to suitable weather. The 3 days long parikrama around the holy Kailash Parvat is not easy to perform, this is why the yatra is done only in the summer months.

The warmer summer months of April, May, June, July and August are the most suitable to perform the kora trek or parikrama around Mount Kailash near Darchen. Spring and fall months in Tibet are also popular due to crisp weather, clear skies, amazing views and moderate temperatures.

The sacred Dolma La Pass already had good snow when I did the yatra in August, so you can imagine how difficult it will be to trek on this high-altitude mountain pass in peak winter months. This is why no one goes on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra during winter months of November, December, January and February. It is almost impossible to trek on the high pass due to heavy snow.

Conclusion: Kailash Mansarovar Yatra for American NRIs

In my experience, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from USA is easily doable with a little planning and of course, a lot of cash. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for any American NRI to be able to plan a journey to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. I know many people who have done the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra many times.

It is the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage and the biggest dream of all Hindus is to perform a parikrama or kora around the sacred Kailash Parvat and take a holy dip in serene Mansarovar Lake at least once in their lifetime.

Choose the best Kailash Mansarovar tour from USA and embark upon a journey of a lifetime. In this detailed blog, I have elucidated on how it works for travelling to Kailash Mansarovar from USA for the American passport holders which include USA nationals & non-resident Indians or NRIs. Do share this blog with your Indian friends living in different parts of USA and inspire them to embark on this holy Hindu pilgrimage .

Mount Kailash Tour from USA : how to plan Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from USA

No documents found.

In a straight line, the United States is between 11,500 and 12,500 kilometers from Mount Kailash in western Tibet. Lying on separate continents, traveling to the sacred mountain can be done by traveling through either mainland China or Nepal. Most tours of Tibet start from mainland China, traveling to the Tibetan capital and then on to Ngari, while some run from Kathmandu and cross the border into Tibet to get to the mountain. And one of the great options of traveling from mainland China is that you can fly directly from US to gateway cities to Lhasa and exit Tibet into Nepal to continue your trip in this amazing landlocked country in the Himalayas.

Travel to Kailash from USA via Mainland China

Why choose to go from us to kailash via mainland china.

Travel Visa and Permits for Mount Kailash Tour from US via Mainland China

When traveling to Tibet from China, it is required to first have a Chinese Entry Visa, which can be obtained before you book the tour from the nearest Chinese consulate or Embassy. There are several in the United States, and for some, there is the option of mailing in their visa application via USPS. Scanned copies of your passport and visa will be used to process the applications for the required permits for Tibet.

The other permits and passes that are required for a trip to Ngari include: Tibet Travel Permit - This is required for entry to Tibet and to travel around in the area of Lhasa. The permit requires up to 15-20 days to process, so your tour should be booked well in advance. Alien’s Travel Permit - Required for travel to the “unopened” areas of Tibet outside Lhasa, including Shigatse. The permit is applied for once you are in Lhasa by your tour guide. Restricted Areas Permit - This is often called the “Military Permit”, and is required for travel to military-sensitive areas such as Ngari, Nyingchi, etc. This permit also requires at least two weeks to process, and will be applied for as soon as your tour is booked. Frontier Pass - While most tours will not actually cross the border out of China, the Frontier Pass is required for all tourists traveling in the areas of the Chinese border with India, Nepal, and Bhutan, which includes Mount Everest and Mount Kailash. The pass can be applied for by your guide in Lhasa or Shigatse, and takes around 30 minutes.

Travel to Kailash from USA via Kathmandu, Nepal

Why choose to go from us to kailash via nepal.

Since there are no direct flights to Kathmandu from the United States, one of the main reasons to make this your point of entry into Tibet is the ability to travel easily and freely into Nepal with minimum fuss, and the fact that you do not need to obtain a Chinese Entry Visa before you travel. With the Group Visa being issued once you arrive in Nepal, and being applied for by us on your behalf, this can be an advantageous route to Tibet. Nepal is also good for trekking, and it is the ideal locations for a good hiking trip before or after your trip to Tibet. And with entry to Nepal being very easy for US nationals, using Nepal as your entry to Tibet can be a lot easier.

Flying from USA to Kathmandu, Nepal

There are no direct flights to Kathmandu from the United States, and all flights from the major airlines and cities across the US require at least one or two stops along the way. Prices of flights range from as little as 552 dollars to as high as 1,500 dollars, depending on your departure location and the number of stops and connections. Despite it being easier to get into Tibet from Nepal, getting to Nepal from the US can be much harder and a lot more costly.

Traveling from Kathmandu to Kailash via Lhasa, Gyirong or Simikot

If you are traveling to Kailash from Nepal, then you have three main options for getting to the mountain.

The main option, and often the most popular, is to take a flight to Lhasa and then travel overland from there. One of the best trips for travelers to the sacred mountain from Nepal, this amazing tour allows you to experience the best of Lhasa and the highlights of the plateau on the way to the Ngari region. A trip of more than 1,200 kilometers, this will cost from 1,880 dollars for the tour and the cost of the flight into Lhasa from Kathmandu.

Travel Visa and Permits for Mount Kailash Tour from USA via Nepal

For a trip to Tibet from Nepal, you will still need the same travel documents as from China, with the exception of the visa. The major permits and passes for traveling into and around Tibet are, however, all required to be in hand before you enter Tibet, and failing to have one of the relevant passes or permits will mean you will be refused entry. Since two of the permits can take from 2-3 weeks to obtain, it is vital to book early for the tours of Tibet .

The visa is a little different, and the normal Chinese Entry Visa is not applicable from Nepal. Instead, you will be issued with a Group Visa once you arrive in Kathmandu, which takes around three days to process. When you arrive, our representative will meet you and use your original passport, Tibet Travel Permit, and supporting documents to process you visa application with the embassy in Kathmandu.

Best Time to Visit Kailash from the United States

For most tourists to Tibet, the best time to visit Kailash is in spring and autumn, from April to May and September to November. The weather at these times of year is ideal for visiting the sacred mountain and for the great views of the summits of the surrounding Himalayas. The skies are clear and the landscape is dry, with cooler weather and milder nights than in the summer, yet warmer than in winter too. However, if you do not mind the odd shower, then summer, from June to August, is also a good time to visit, though this is the peak season in Tibet. The area around the mountain sees very little rain in the monsoon season, so you can only expect a few daily light showers, with plenty of clear skies for more than half of the days of the summer months.

Dining and Accommodation in Kailash Manasarovar Yatra from USA

In Lhasa and Shigatse, you will be able to find five-star hotels and a lot of good restaurants to keep you happy. However, once you leave the major cities, most of this is not available. Accommodation in Ngari especially consists mostly of small local hostels and guesthouses, which have very basic facilities, often with no electricity and running water. The same can be said of the dining available in western Tibet, with only local and small eateries to choose from, with the odd hostel having its own restaurant, most of the fare you will find is local food, which is delicious and nutritious. However, for those that do not like Tibetan cuisine, it may be a good idea to bring some packet and tinned foods of your own from Lhasa when you travel.

How to Budget the Cost of Kailash Tour from USA

If you are thinking of the budget for a trip to Mount Kailash , then there are some things you can do to cut back on the overall costs. Booking on a Group Tour is a lot cheaper than a private tour, as you will share the costs of driver, guide, vehicle, etc. with the other members of the group. You can also book in the early spring and late autumn seasons, before and after the peak months in Tibetan tourism, as these are still low season periods and a lot cheaper for hotels, flights, and even the tours themselves. And for the best deals in international travel, the comparison websites often have some great deals on flights in the low season months, as well as good discounts.

Traveling to Tibet for a Mount Kailash tour from the United States is the adventure of a lifetime, and is one that you should not miss. While the US may be more than 11,000 kilometers away, it is still easy to arrange a tour of Tibet and Mount Kailash by using Tibet Vista as your travel agency. We will make all the arrangements for the tour for you, allowing you to just sit back, relax, and enjoy your epic adventure to the sacred mountain of Hindus and Buddhists, known in Tibet as Gang Rinpoche.
