Pilgrimiage

This profound 10-day journey takes you across the vast, high-altitude landscapes of Western Tibet to the sacred realm of Mount Kailash, one of the world’s most venerated pilgrimage sites. Beginning at the Kyirong border, the route leads through dramatic Himalayan valleys and shimmering highland lakes to the base of Mt. Kailash. Here, you’ll embark on a spiritually charged three-day kora (circumambulation), crossing the formidable Dolma La Pass (5,630 m) and walking in the footsteps of sages and seekers. With stops at holy Lake Mansarovar, ancient monasteries, and culturally rich villages, this is a journey of physical challenge, spiritual renewal, and breathtaking natural beauty.
