This
extraordinary journey takes you through the
hidden Humla valley in Nepal's western most
frontier and to Tibet's holy Mount Kailash and
mythical Lake Manasarovar. To begin this pilgrimage
we start by taking the flight to Simikot in
Nepal's remote Humla District. From here our
trek follows the ancient salt trading and pilgrimage
route towards the Nara Langa pass and to the
border trade post at Taklakot. We drive overland
north past Gurla Mandata mountain to the shores
of Lake Manasarovar and RakasTal Lake and on
to Darchen situated at the foot of Mt. Kailash.
This holy mountain is revered by Hindus, Buddhist,
Jains and Bonpos as the center of the universe.
Once there, we will make the 'kora' (holy-walk)
trek of the mountain sharing the trail with
other pilgrims that head for Kailash during
the summer months. After completing this trek
we will drive eastwards by jeeps along the mighty
Yarlung Zangpo river and through the vastness
of the Tibet Plateau. Enjoy fantastic mountain
views of the Himalayas as we journey south towards
the border town of Zangmu to re-enter Nepal
at the Friendship Bridge. This exclusive journey
is made for travelers in search of a cultural
and spiritual odyssey amidst the splendor of
the Himalayan mountain range.
