Situated at an altitude of 4274 m above sea level, Nangri Gunsa Airport of Tibet is the fourth highest Airport in the world. Since its establishment in 2010, both general public and military are getting its services. From this Ali Airport, Lhasa is just at 2 hours’ flight. From this Airport, China Airlines allow us to fly to Lhasa in a daily basis. After landing at Lhasa, we can again drive 200km distance to reach the sacred Lake Mansarovar. Mount Kailash is nearby Lake Mansarovar. These are the popular pilgrimage destination for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bonpos.
Kailash-The Mysterious Holy Peak; Tibet has become one of the most preferred pilgrimage destination as it is home to holy Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake. The altitude of Kailash Parvat is 6714 m from sea level. The total circumambulation of Kailash Parvat is 53 km among which 38 km must be walked on foot. Whereas, we can hire pony or Pony to travel remaining distance. Kailash Kora is believed to be the most important religious performance one should accomplish at least once in a life time.
Hindus regard Mount Kailash as a sacred abode of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati. We can see the Buddhist symbol Swastika in the southern part of this bulky peak. Buddhists worship this peak as Kang Rimpoche. Jains believe that their first saint attained liberation meditating in the sacred premise of mount Kailash. Despite of the differences in the belief of different religion followers, the ultimate faith is upon the superior power of Kailash Parvat. It is regarded as the savior of entire universe.
Every year large number of devotees from different part of the world especially from neighboring country India come to visit this sacred Kailash Parvat and nearby Mansarovar Lake. People often visit Mansarovar with the intention of performing death ritual called Sharaddha in the name of deceased ancestors. It is said that their souls will achieve Mokshya (Mukti or liberation) after their children perform their Sharaddha at Mansarovar Lake.
The holy trip to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar of Tibet begins from Kathmandu. We will fly to Lhasa from Tribhuvan International Airport and drive to Hotel. We will then drive to Mansarovar Lake. After completing Kailash kora, we will stay one night at Darchen and return to Lhasa. From Lhasa we take a flight back to Kathmandu.

Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered over the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. Some of symptoms indicate that the body mechanism is readjusting to new environments. The best idea is deliberately slow down all the activities and follows the following rules
Relax-do not exerts, be excited, make rest
Reduce talking each other
Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
Keep your load light.
Walk for 30 minutes & rest for 5 minute whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
Observe silence with smile, never go too high and too fast.
Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favorite music, Bhajans, chanting etc.
Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected.
On-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving.
Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes.
Do not combine walking and sightseeing together.
Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable. During winter
Om Namo Shivaya ! Jaya Bhole Nath !! Har Har Mahadev!!!
