Kathmandu Lhasa Ali Kailash Tour 2027

Full moon Manasarovar 15 September 2027 (Purnima)

The capital of Tibet, Lhasa is home to a number of ancient Buddhist temples, monasteries and palaces. Lhasa is located at a height of 3650 meters and boasts ancient Potala Palace, Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Jokhang Temple, Norbulunka Palace and many others. All visitors will be mesmerized by the unique lifestyle and culture of many ethnic Tibetan groups. You will have two full days to see the sights in Lhasa as well as to adjust to Tibet's altitude and climate. After that, you will drive along the Yarlung Tsangpo River until you reach Yam Dwar which is the gateway to holy Mount Kailash.

For Mount Kailash, the Kora will take three days and for Manasarovar Lake, two days. Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Bon Po pilgrims flock to Mount Kailash, which rises to 6,714 meters above sea level. Known by Tibetans as Kangri Rimpoche a sparkly mass of snow, the mountain feeds four major rivers in Asia. As per Hindu and Buddhist traditions, visiting Mountain Kailash connects you with the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra and Sutlej rivers. Manasarovar Lake (4580m.), popularly known as Mapam Yumtso, literally means lake of consciousness. Best package Kathmandu Lhasa Ali Kailash tour operating Monterosa Treks and expedition Pvt. Ltd.

Sacred Sites: Mount Kailash is very important for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Shikhas & Bonpo as well as Lake Manasarovar consider it sacred.

Physical Moderate Challenge: As a moderately challenging journey, a Yatra requires traveling companions to be physically, mentally, and spiritually strong. Kailash's Kora stretches 53 kilometers (33 miles) on foot or by pony, while surfaced roads cover 15 kilometers.

Eligibility: There are a few requirements for pilgrims: they must be in good health, have a valid passport for at least seven months, be at least nine years old, and not be older than 79 years old. (Must be non-Indian passport holder)

Best Time to Visit: The best time to hold yatras is from May to September, when the temperatures are mild and not too cold, making them more comfortable and safer.

Taking a sip of the lake's water and bathing in it will rid one of all worldly sins and secure one's place in heaven, according to Hindu belief. The Buddhists, on the other hand, consider Manasarovar Lake a sacred place where Buddha meditated, hence the sight of the lake is enough to bring one to enlightenment.

Detail Itinerary

11 September 2027 (Saturday) Day 01: Monterosa Treks and Expedition Pvt. Ltd. staff will receive you at Tribhuvan International Airport and escort you to your hotel. It is important for every Yatri to reach Kathmandu 10:00AM or before. After Lunch, 12:30 PM start holy sightseeing. Kathmandu valley holy sightseeing as follows; Kailashnath Mahadev Statue is the tallest Shiva temple in Nepal. In Bali, Indonesia, it is second tallest Hindu deity after Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue. Located about 20 kilometers away from Kathmandu, the Kailash Nath Shiva statue is located in Sanga, Nepal. Copper, zinc, cement, and steel were used in the construction of the statue, which stands 144 feet / 44 meters tall.

Visit Doleshwor (Doleshwar): To all Shiva devotees, a trip to Kailash is incomplete without visiting Doleshwar Mahadev and Pasupatinath temples. Doleshwar Mahadev was officially declared head of Kedarnath, one of the Char Dham Yatras, on Aug. 22, 2009. In 2013, after the devastating flood struck Kedarnath's temple, located in Uttarakhand, the regular prayers that were interrupted were conducted at Doleshwar Temple. Kedarnath Temple's head priest requested regular prayers to be held at Doleshwar Mahadev Temple instead of the Kedarnath Temple.

Buddhist Temple in Bouddha: In the 5th century, Boudhanath stupa was built with the wisdom eyes of Gautama Buddha for four cardinal directions, making it the second largest stupa in the world. The Buddha is an important pilgrimage site for Tibetans because of its immense stupa. Prayers and seminars are held nearby at monasteries and schools. Devotees stroll around the white dome and visit the monasteries and schools nearby. There is no doubt that the Buddha Stupa dominates the skyline. Over 50 gompas (Tibetan convents) have been built around Buddha as a result of the influx of Tibetan refugees. UNESCO has listed Boudhanath Stupa as a World Heritage Site since 1979. This is where Kathmandu Valley is credited with its glory.

12 September 2027 (Sunday) Day 03: On the morning of Rudra Abhishek, Hawan, and Aarati, Kailash pilgrims are taken to Pasupatinath temple for Rudra Consecration. Brahmin priests prepare for fire offering Hawan in Pavilion (Mandap) and do Sankalpa Pooja in the beginning followed by Swastibachan (Preaching), Nyas, Rudra preaching, and Mahamritunjaya (Death victory) Pooja.

The word 'Rudra', meaning 'Fearful Lord Shiva', derives from Rudrabhishek, Rudranti Iti Rudri, and Rudhiryoge Metal. People on this Earth suffer from pain, violence, greed, and we pray to God Shiva so that he grants them justice, good health, prosperity, peace and salvation. Rudri's mission is to ensure a peaceful world. The pilgrims' first stop during the Kailash tour is Pashupatinath and its worship. The practice of worshiping Lord Pashupatinath and performing Aarati is believed to grant devotees all kinds of good merits. Kailash Tours are considered complete only after a holy visit to Pashupatinath. One of the most important pilgrimage sites is Kailash Manasarovar.

Despite having too many Jyothirlinga and Shiva temples, Kailash is a pilgrimage destination. Humans are superior to souls in this Universe, sages are superior to humans, gods are superior to gods, and Lord Shiva is even superior to gods, Kailash is where the supreme Lord Shiva dwells. Hence, every pilgrimage is incomplete without the Kailash Pilgrimage. Doing Rudra (Shiva's idol) Consecration and fire offering (Hawan) to Lord Pashupatinath is a popular religious tradition to wish for a successful Kailash Tour.

Bhatta pujari performs Panchamrit Pooja in Pashupatinath temple every day between 9:30 AM and 11 AM after Rudra Abhishek. The temple has an offering available, but it is a payable Pooja that includes a Pooja Thali, milk, Rudrachhe mala, flower garland, and a lamp. By offering Panchamrit Pooja to Lord Pasupatinath, the devotee fulfills all the desired wishes for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra / tour. After receiving Prasad and Rudrachhe mala, the ceremony ends. Hindu devotees are the only ones who may perform this, Pooja. The main gates are not open to other religions.

Visit Guhjeswari Temple of Guhyeshori Shakti Pith. She is the mother of all the Astha Matrilas (Eight Mother Goddesses). In Hinduism and Buddhism, she is worshipped equally. According to the Hindu legend Pauranik Katha. In response to an insult from her husband Shiva, Shiva's first consort SATI DEVI fell into YAGYAAKUND (A religious fire ceremony). Shiva retrieved her, fire burned his corpse senseless by grief, and flew to and from Nepal and the Indian subcontinent. It is believed that SATI DEVI's body is scattered throughout 51 Shakti Piths. Her secret part (GOPYA) vagina, some say her anus fell to this place, which we call Guhyeshori. Additionally, she protects the deities of the KTM valley. We return to the hotel for a vegetarian buffet lunch.

Budhanilkantha: The Budhanilkantha (Jal Narayan) Vishnu Temple, located in Budhanilkantha, Nepal, is an open-air Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, around 2:00 PM in the afternoon. At the northern end of the Kathmandu valley, Budhanilkantha Temple is located below Shivapuri Hill and is recognized by its large reclining statue of Lord Vishnu. In Budhanilkantha, a sleeping Vishnu floats on a bed of snakes in a large pool of water depicting the cosmic ocean, like a giant astronaut. The peculiar name refers to two legends attached to the statue, one of which states that a farmer found the long-lost statue while plowing his field, and another stating that Vishnu sacrificed himself by drinking the poison of the cosmic ocean, which turned his throat blue.

Watch Kailash Tour Testimonials Video

Charan Sparsh / Touch Kailash closed from August 2024: where Pilgrims walk for four hours (4kms) to touch the feet of Mount Kailash, known as Charan Sparsh. Touching the base of Kailash Mountain feels like a blessing from Lord Shiva. Pooja is performed by some pilgrims in order to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva. Getting back to Dirapuk takes approximately one and a half to two hours and it is a day tour / Yatra.

"Charan" means "foot" and "Sparsh" means "to touch". Together, these words mean "to touch one's feet". Touching Kailash Parbat's feet is a tradition that dates back thousands of years. "Charan Sparsh" has a scientific basis, as the human body releases vibrations touching the feet, which encourage the flow of energy and blessings, happiness and success. As a result of this exchange of energy, one gains vigor, self-confidence, and contentment. It is like receiving invisible blessings after "Charan Sparsh"

HEALTH PRE-CAUTION

Pashupatinath Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induce certain illness generally not encountered over the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. Some of symptoms indicate that the body mechanism is readjusting to new environments. The best idea is deliberately slow down all the activities and follows the guidelines below:

Relax-do not exert, be excited, make rest if needed
Reduce talk time with each other during the journey
Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
Keep your load light.
Walk for 30 minutes and rest for 5 minutes
Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
Observe silence with smile.
Never go too high and too fast.
Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favorite music, Bhajans, chanting etc.
Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sightseeing together.
Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable.
