Kailash overland tour via Kerung is one of the spectacular and thrilling journeys in Tibet. This amazing trip starts and ends in the vibrant city of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. A great mass of black rock soaring over 22,000 feet, Mt. Kailash 6741 m, has the unique distinction of being the world's most respected holy place at the same time that it is the least visited. Reachable after four days of a continuous drive across the vast Tibetan plateau or after a week of an interesting trek from Simikot in western Nepal. At the end of the drive, we reach an exceptionally beautiful turquoise lake with the floating swans and a spectacular mount Kailash. For Hindus, Mt Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva. Both Lake Mansarovar and Mt Kailash have religious significance for both Hindus and Buddhists. Four great rivers originate from Lake Mansarovar – the Indus, Karnali, Bramhaputra and the Sutlej.

The 53 km periphery is the trail for circumambulation around this holy mountain and takes 3 days. The Kora or circumambulation starts at Darchen some 40 Km from Lake Mansarovar. After the Kora, we drive back to Kathmandu. En route we enjoy a great view of the world's highest mountains, meet the nomad sheepherders and enjoy the unique beauty of the Tibetan desert.

Kathmandu to Kailash Manasarovar tour from Kerung

An outstanding overland journey of Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarover in Aug 2019 by an excellent company Alpine Eco Trek and Travel   I and my better-half and others 11 members went to mount Kailash Manasarovar through Overland route. (Via Kerung border). This was my dream journey. We started our journey from Kathmandu on 11 Aug 2019 by the road. We went with Alpine Eco Trek. The tour was excellent . The service was outstanding. The staffs (especially Mr. Ram Gopal) were perfect. The owner -Mr. Ram Kumar is a big-hearted person.-he is a holy person. I had never seen before such an honest and gentleman. He always cares about all pilgrims. The August month of this year was very good in respect to the weather. All pilgrims enjoyed the overland tour and reached near the Holy Mount Kailash. Our company was outstanding. It cannot imagine that in that remotest area of Tibet, Alpine Eco Trek always gives excellent service and take care of every pilgrim.. Food quality was excellent, Vehicle arrangements was a very good, well-organized team. This is my 2nd-time visit of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar. As per my experiences, I can say there are so many cheating Kailash tour companies present in the Kathmandu and their main business is to cheat the Kailash pilgrims but Alpine Eco Trek is an exceptionally honest and genuinely good and reliable company for Kailash tour. They are the specialist for these services, the most important point for any pilgrim is this that before booking the tour, one must enquire the review. I am also looking forward to the next year again but through the Lhasa route with this company in the month of Aug. Because Aug month is the best month to visit. I strongly and highly recommend Alpine Eco Trek and its owner Mr. Ram Kumar Adhikari, I think one who wish to reach near the Holy Mountain, must go with Alpine Eco Trek.

Namaste Ramji, the Kailash Yatra was amazing. I enjoyed my trip overall. Both the Tibetan guides and Nepali guides were amazing. They helped everyone and tried to fulfill everyone's expectations. I highly recommend them at Alpine Eco Trek anytime. Overall the Nepali and Tibetan folks were a gem to be with. Thank you, Ram Ji, for your excellent arrangements.

Kailash Overland tour with good agency

Ram Kumar remains in my memory for his ability to organize Kailash overland tour according to my desires at a reasonable price with an impeccable accompaniment. No unpleasant surprises from the beginning to the end of the trip. I used to organize myself, which was not possible for Kailash. His team is very caring. I recommend him and his agency alpine eco trek for any trips in Mount Kailas.

Mt Kailash overland tour 2018

I booked a tour from Australia over the internet with Alpine Eco Trek early last year to go to Mt Kailash. All organized tours with Australian companies were out of my budget. Therefore my only option was to book online with locals. At first, I was not sure if Alpine eco trek was a genuine company but with many email correspondence with Ram Kumar, I was satisfied that the company was genuine. I was only asked for a small deposit and full payment on arrival which made me feel comfortable. My trip was meant to be with a larger group, however, on arrival to Nepal, I was advised that there were not many people booked for the tour and that Alpine eco trek would still provide a tour and that I would be going with only five other people. This felt like a private tour with no extra charge. Our Tibetan tour guide and driver were wonderful and I would have no hesitation in recommending him His name was Dawa. He looked after all of our needs 24 and 7 truly magnificent. Overall I would be happy to recommend Ram and his team for any tour and I will be using their services again on my next trip.
