This extraordinary journey takes you to Tibet’s mythical Mount Kailas and Lake Manasarovar and then through the hidden Humla valley in Nepal’s westernmost Tibetan frontier. Starting from Kathmandu we travel overland west along the mighty Zangpo river and over high passes to reach Mt. Kailas. This holy mountain is revered by Hindus, Buddhist, Jains and Bonpos as the center of the universe. Once there we will make the ‘kora’ (holy-circuit) trek of the mountain, sharing the trail with many other pilgrims that head for Kailas during the summer months.
