Day 1 Arrival in Kathmandu.
Upon your arrival in Kathmandu International airport, our employee will greet you and you will be transferred to the Hotel where you will be staying. We will provide you with detail briefing about the trip and necessary things that you will need during the journey.

Day 2: Kathmandu Trek Preparation.
On this day we go for the sightseeing of Kathmandu and surrounding valleys that includes Lalitpur and Bhaktapur. What’s so impressive about these valleys is that there are some landmarks that are listed on the list of World Heritage Sites. These valleys are full of ancient Durbar Square that was built ages ago. The sacred Hindu temple Pashupati Nath, the famous Swayambhu Nath also known as Monkey Temple are some the landmarks. In afternoon we organize a pre-discussion and give a chance to ask questions about any upcoming events you may find confusing.

Day 3: Kathmandu to Nyalam.
we have our breakfast in the morning and head towards Nyalam. First, we reach Nepal-Tibet border or also known as Friendship Bridge. After a short walk about 10 minutes, we cross Friendship Bridge and we can meet our Tibetan guide. After customs formalities and all the immigration at the Chinese check post, we head towards the Chinese territory and follow the road to Nyalam which is 35 km far from the check post. It can take almost 3 hours to reach Nyalam with gorgeous scenery. We stay overnight at Nyalam.

Day 4: Nyalam Rest Day.
we will rest the whole day in Nyalam and let our body get used to the climate and higher altitude. We will also be leaving for the short trek which is in grounding for Kailash Parikrama and it helps us to adjust fast. We will visit Nyalam the whole day.

Day 5: Nyalam to New Dongba.
It will be a very memorable day in the whole journey since we get to visit Mt. Kailash.
We start in the morning and drive straight New Dongba passing through camps of Yak herders and small houses. Most of the times we will be walking on plains. During the journey, we will enjoy the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountain on far south.

Day 6: New Dongba to Manasarovar.
We start this day with hot tea and prepare ourselves for a long walk. We can only have the first view of Mt. Kailash in the afternoon.  A small village named Hore is situated near Manasarovar Lake. It is also the highest lake with fresh and clean water, beautiful white swans, tortoise, and fishes. Mt. Gurla Mandala, Mt. Kailash, and Lake Rakshas are laid near its surrounding. Spending quiet and lovely time here we spend our night in Chui Gompa.

Day 7: Manasarovar to Lake to Tarchen.
Manasarovar is considered Holy River according to Hindu religion. It is said that Mansarover is created by God Brahma for his 12 sons to perform rituals. That’s why we will take a holy dip in Mansarovar Lake and head towards our destination Tarchen. Tarchen is also considered as a base camp for the ones who circumambulate Holy Kailash. We stay overnight at Tarchen.

Day 8: Tarchen-Tarboche-Dirapuk.
Tarchen is a place for tourists since it is located right in the facade of Mt. Kailash. After breakfast, we will be heading toward Tarboche which is a starting point of Mt. Kailash Parikrama and also known as Asthapath. On the way, we walk through waterfalls and beautiful rocky cliffs. As we walk toward we can see the face of Mt. Kailash time to time. And again we trek to Dirapuk that takes almost 7 hours walk. We stay overnight at camp at Dirapuk.

Day 9: Dirapuk to Zuthul Puk.
Today we climb Dolma-la pass. After we walk over the Dolma-la Pass, we trek to reach our destination Zuthul Puk. As our step goes closer to the pass, we cross Yamasthal to reach the Shiva-sthal. This day is the most difficult day of the trek. We can see Parvati-sthal and Gauri Kunda on the way to Zuthul Puk. After a difficult walk, we reach our destination Zuthul Puk which is also famous for the cave of miracles. We stay overnight at Zuthul Puk.

Day 10: Zuthul Puk-Tarchen-Manasarovar-Dongba.
We wake up early in the morning to explore the temples, cave, and shrines around Milarepa cave. Then we head again to Tarchen and Manasarovar through the same place, enjoying the magnificent views. All the driving crew will be waiting for our arrival and walk of 3 hours. We stay overnight at Dongba.

Day 11: Dongba to Nyalam.
We will say bye to Mt. Kailash and head towards Nyalam. We drive for hours to reach our destination Nyalam.
