Our 2010 Mount Kailas Trek dates are September 3 to 26, 2010
From Kathmandu, Nepal
Join us for this in-depth exploration of Tibet. We'll fly to Lhasa and continue on to Shigatse and Gyantse, with sacred Mt. Kailas as our goal. In addition to the kora (pilgrimage) around Mount Kailas, the trip includes a visit to the ancient kingdom of Guge and ample time to sightsee in Kathmandu and Lhasa as well as the surrounding areas.
The trekking time is short (four days of hiking) but much of the hiking is on steep trails at high elevation (15,000 to 18,000 feet). Before the trek, you'll also explore the countryside and unique villages along the Tibetan Plateau. After the trek circuit, we'll visit Lake Manasarovar and along the Tsong Po River before returning to Kathmandu . This trip is appropriate for experienced hikers who have been to altitude before and are prepared to "rough it." Travel in Tibet is an adventure; its long isolation and the fact that tourism is relatively new make for exciting travel. With flexibility and an open mind, you will enjoy the challenge.
This excursion and pilgrimage circuit around Mount Kailas is the experience of a lifetime!
