Mt. Kailash & Wild West of Nepal

Over the centuries, pilgrims from all corners of the world have journeyed to achieve enlightenment and cleanse themselves in the indisputable sacred power of Mount Kailash, "the Precious Jewel of Snow". In the north of the Himalayan barrier in Tibet, the navel of the Universe, Mount Kailash, is the spiritual centre for four main religions, including Tibetan Buddhism. The four major rivers systems of the Indian Sub-Continent originate near Kailash delivering good karma in the flows below. This trek follows the old pilgrimage and trade route over the Himalayan range from Western Nepal into the Tibetan plateau. This trip is more like an expedition than a trek but requires no mountaineering skills. The trek begins with a flight to Simikot and heads west toward Yari before crossing the 4325m Nara La Pass. Renew your inspiration at the Holy Mount Kailash.
