The Kailash Manasarovar Tour for Non Residents of India (NRI) is one of the world’s most meaningful pilgrimage and adventure journeys. Designed exclusively for foreign passport holders, Overseas Citizens, Nepali citizens, and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), this carefully planned tour combines spirituality, breathtaking Himalayan landscapes, Tibetan culture, and professional logistics into one unforgettable experience.

Organized by Nepal Tours Packages, this 15-day pilgrimage begins in Kathmandu, where all Tibet travel permits and the Chinese Group Visa formalities are completed before traveling overland through the scenic Kerung border into Tibet. The route passes through picturesque Tibetan towns, sacred monasteries, vast plateaus, pristine rivers, and snow-capped Himalayan ranges before reaching the holy shores of Lake Manasarovar and the majestic Mount Kailash.

Trip Overview

The Kailash Manasarovar Tour for Non Residents of India (NRI) is a 15-day overland pilgrimage through Nepal and Tibet that allows travelers to experience one of the holiest destinations on Earth.

Unlike regular sightseeing holidays, this journey combines spirituality, adventure, high-altitude travel, breathtaking Himalayan scenery, and cultural immersion into one life-changing experience.

Your journey begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s vibrant capital, where our experienced team assists with the Tibet Group Visa application, permit processing, and trip briefing. During this period, travelers have time to explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites while waiting for visa approval.

Once all formalities are completed, the expedition continues by road to the Nepal–Tibet border at Kerung. From here, the landscape transforms dramatically into the vast Tibetan Plateau, where snow-covered mountains, turquoise lakes, ancient monasteries, and endless grasslands create an unforgettable backdrop.

The highlight of the journey is undoubtedly reaching Lake Manasarovar, one of Asia’s highest freshwater lakes, revered for its extraordinary spiritual significance. Pilgrims perform prayers, meditation, and rituals before continuing to Darchen, the gateway to Mount Kailash.

The sacred three-day Kailash Parikrama (Kora) then begins. This 52-kilometer trek circles the holy mountain through spectacular alpine landscapes, crossing the challenging Dolma La Pass at 5,630 meters before descending toward Zutulpuk Monastery.

After completing the Kora, travelers return through Saga and Kerung before driving back to Kathmandu, bringing an unforgettable pilgrimage to a successful conclusion.

Why Visit Mount Kailash?

Mount Kailash is unlike any other mountain in the world.

Although its elevation of 6,638 meters is lower than Mount Everest, no one has ever officially climbed its summit. The mountain is considered too sacred to be conquered, and local traditions forbid climbing it.

For thousands of years, pilgrims have instead walked around the mountain in reverence.

The mountain is sacred to four major religions:

Hinduism

Hindus believe Mount Kailash is the eternal home of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The mountain symbolizes ultimate peace, meditation, and cosmic energy.

Completing one full Kailash Parikrama is believed to wash away the sins of a lifetime, while completing 108 circumambulations is believed to lead toward ultimate liberation.

---

Buddhism

For Buddhists, Mount Kailash represents Mount Meru—the mythical center of the universe. Tibetan Buddhists perform the Kora clockwise while chanting sacred prayers and spinning prayer wheels.

The annual Saga Dawa Festival celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Lord Buddha and is one of the most auspicious times to visit.

---

Jainism

Jains believe Mount Kailash is the place where the first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, attained liberation.

---

Bon Religion

Followers of the ancient Bon faith regard Kailash as the spiritual center of their universe and traditionally perform the Kora in an anti-clockwise direction.

---

The Sacred Lake Manasarovar

Situated at an altitude of approximately 4,590 meters, Lake Manasarovar is one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world.

Its crystal-clear blue waters reflect the towering snow peaks of Mount Kailash, creating one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Himalayas.

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma created the lake in his mind before bringing it into existence, which is why it is known as “Manasarovar” (Lake of the Mind).

Pilgrims visit the lake to:

• Offer prayers
• Perform sacred rituals
• Meditate
• Collect holy water
• Witness sunrise over Mount Kailash
• Experience deep spiritual tranquility

Many travelers describe their first glimpse of Lake Manasarovar as one of the most emotional moments of their lives.
