How to Plan a Tibet Mount Kailash Tour?

Mount Kailash is approximately 1,200 kilometers from Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and less than 100 kilometers from the western trijunction of the borders of China, India, and Nepal. Travelers can go to Mount Kailash from Lhasa and make a visit to highlighted spots along the way, such as Yamdrok Lake, Karola Glacier, Mount Everest, Lake Manasarovar, and immerse yourselves in the unique culture and spirituality of Tibet.

To explore the beauty and spirituality of Mount Kailash, many travelers choose to take the Kora trek, a 52-kilometer pilgrimage route that circles the holy mountain. The trek begins and ends in Darchen, and offers stunning views of the mountain and surrounding landscape. The trek takes about three days to complete and is considered one of the most sacred treks in the world, attracting adventurers alike.

Whether you're seeking spiritual enlightenment or simply looking to explore the stunning natural beauty of the region, a trip to Mount Kailash is sure to be a once-in-lifetime unforgettable experience.
