Overview

Lhasa Kailash EBC Tour is a 16-day tour providing scenic views from Kathmandu to Tibet with trekking to Everest Base Camp. This tour starts from Kathmandu, with sightseeing of different cultural heritage sites of Kathmandu. Sightseeing is for one day, and another day is for waiting for a visa, which means you have to stay in Kathmandu for 2 days. This tour package is a blend of the beauty of Nepal and Tibet with the hardest pilgrimage tour, the Mount Kailash Tour, and the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest.

Our journey starts from Kathmandu to Lhasa via flight. After sightseeing one day in Lhasa, we drive to Yamdrok Lake, Gyantse, and Shigatse. From Shiatse to Rongbuk, we drive to EBC (Everest Base Camp). Everest Base Camp (Tibet's side), where thousands of people visit every year.

Then from Mansarovar we drive to Yamdwar and trek to Darchen, where the 3-day parikrama is done, which is considered the difficult part of the tour. After the parikrama, we trek down to Kyirong and drive to Kathmandu.

Now let’s know about the Tibet Kailash Mansarovar Tour. The Tibet Kailash Mansarovar Yatra (Tour) is known for being one of the most difficult pilgrimage tours in the world. Due to insufficient hospitality, accommodation, high altitude, and many other reasons, it is known as a hard pilgrimage tour. For those who have no trekking experience, then it's going to be challenging. But don’t worry; we at Namaste Holidays will take you to Kailash and Mansarovar with fewer challenges.

Different religions have their own view and religious significance of the Kailash and Mansarovar. Buddhist, Hindu, Jian, and Bon who have their own significance regarding Mount Kailash and Mansarovar. In this tour we will see the different monasteries, the Himalayas, and the beauty of the nature. If you love adventure and nature, then this is the perfect tour package to explore Nepal’s beauty and Tibet’s beauty.

We, Namaste Holidays, are organizing the largest tour in Nepal, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, and we also set the historic record of organizing and managing the highest number of Nepalese people to Kailash Mansarovar in the year of 2076-2081.
