Pilgrim Tour to Mt. Kailash
Mt. Kailash, the sacred mountain and the abode of the Hindu god Shiva is one of the world's greatest pilgrimage destinations especially for Hindus, Buddhist, Jains and others. The breathtaking beauty of this sacred mountain and the holy lake of Mansarover along with ruins of 9th Century of Guge Kingdom in Far Western Tibet are a reward of a life time to experience.This trip begins with a spectacular overland scenic drive from Kathmandu to Nyalam. Drive across the high Tibetan Plateau along with wild countryside including gushing streams, snow covered passes and vast plain with herds of yak and campsites of Nomads. This holy trip is more like a voyage of adventure, discovery and spiritual contentment.
