Things to do in Mount Kailash

If you're a spiritual seeker, adventure lover, or nature enthusiast, Mount Kailash might be the perfect destination for you. Located in western Tibet, it is a sacred mountain revered by several religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. The 52-kilometer circumambulation or kora around the mountain is a popular pilgrimage site, believed to bring spiritual purification and blessings. Visitors can also explore the nearby Lake Manasarovar, which is considered a sacred site. For adventure tourism, Mount Kailash offers activities like trekking, hiking, and mountain climbing. The region is also home to unique flora and fauna, including rare species of birds, mammals, and plants.

EXPERIENCES

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Kora Pilgrimage

Embark on the sacred Kailash Kora, a spiritual pilgrimage that circumambulates the base of Mount Kailash, believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva in Hinduism and a sacred site in Buddhism, Jainism, and the ancient Bon religion. The 32-mile (52 km) trek takes approximately three days to complete and leads pilgrims and trekkers through spectacular landscapes, including high mountain passes, pristine lakes, and remote valleys. The Kailash Kora is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the spiritual energy of this revered mountain while appreciating the breath-taking beauty of the Tibetan Plateau.

Lake Manasarovar

Experience the tranquillity of Lake Manasarovar, the highest freshwater lake in the world, situated at an altitude of 15,060 feet (4,590 meters). The lake is revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike for its spiritual significance and healing properties. Take a dip in the sacred waters, believed to cleanse the soul, or participate in a traditional puja ceremony on the shores of the lake. The pristine waters and the stunning backdrop of Mount Kailash create an atmosphere of serenity and reverence.

Ancient Chiu Gompa

Discover the Chiu Gompa Monastery, perched atop a hill overlooking Lake Manasarovar. The ancient monastery, constructed around a sacred meditation cave, features beautiful murals and religious artifacts. Enjoy panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains from the monastery's terrace, and gain insight into the region's rich spiritual history.

Traverse Dolma La Pass

Trek over the Dolma La Pass, the highest point on the Kailash Kora, at an altitude of 18,471 feet (5,630 meters). The challenging ascent to the pass is rewarded with awe-inspiring views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. At the top of the pass, you'll find a collection of prayer flags and personal offerings, symbolizing the spiritual significance of the journey.

Saga Dawa Festival

Experience the vibrant Saga Dawa Festival, a significant religious event that takes place at the base of Mount Kailash each year. The festival celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha, drawing pilgrims from all over Tibet and beyond. Join in the celebrations, which include colourful rituals, lively performances, and the hoisting of a massive flagpole adorned with prayer flags.

Stargazing

Marvel at the beauty of the night sky in the remote Mount Kailash region. With minimal light pollution, the area offers an unparalleled opportunity to stargaze and admire the celestial wonders of the universe. Witness the majestic Milky Way stretching across the sky and spot constellations, planets, and shooting stars, creating a truly unforgettable experience.

BEIJING TO LHASA ADVENTURE
