Simikot Kailash Guge Valley Trek

Simikot Kailash Guge Kingdom trek is a popular journey in Tibet. The Guge Kingdom was founded in 868 and became a focal point for the preservation of Buddhism in Tibet until the 17th century. After the assassination of King Lang Darma in 842 by his own brother, Buddhism in Tibet was completely snuffed out for nearly 100 years. In 1040, a renowned Indian Pandit named Atisha arrived in the Guge Kingdom and spent some time at Toling Monastery where he created a resurgence of interest in Buddhism which eventually spread all over Tibet. Tsaparang and Toling retained their importance within Western Tibet as political and religious centers until the 17th Century.

Today, more than 300 years later, all the remains are a huge complex of caves, living quarters, and temples, some of it in an excellent state of preservation, the rest in ruins. This place can be visited combined with Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar via either Simikot, or Hilsa, or from the southern route via Saga – Paryang and Mansarovar. The tour itinerary can be varied according to the time frame and places you would like to cover within the itinerary.

Simikot Kailash Guge Kingdom tour trek includes adventure trekking, rigorous overland driving, camping through remote regions of Simikot, at altitudes of 2,745m and 4,880m, and hiking to a maximum of 5600m. The tour will be more luxurious and interesting by the dedicated and quality services of a Nepalese Sherpa team that includes a camp cook and guide. All the camping equipment will be included in the tour price. While trekking, we make available porters for carrying the equipment and luggage, clients will carry a small daypack only and hike at an easy pace.

Simikot Kailash Guge Kingdom Trek with Alpine Eco Trek

We did a camping trek from Simikot through the remote Limi valley to Hillsa and then to the Guge kingdom and holy Mt Kailash. After doing the Kora around Mt Kailash and visiting Lake Manasarovar, we head back to Kathmandu via Kerung. The trek was organized by Alpine Eco Trek. We enjoyed nature, mountains and Tibetan culture, it was a wonderful adventure. If you want to get lost for a while, this is the place to go. Strongly recommended.
