 Mt.
Kailash claimed to the apex of the Hindu religious axis
is also one of the highest mountain in Tibet at 22,022
feet and Lake Mansarovar at 14,950 feet is said to be
the highest fresh water lake in the world. Certainly
a difficult region to reach due to the variable and
extreme weather conditions. The distance from Lhasa
for example approximately 2000 Km. Only during the last
few years have lots of ordinary and not so ordinary
travelers, been able to experience this region. Road
conditions are difficult much of the time and we have
to make much preparation to ensure that we have a reasonable
chance of reaching Kailash. We need to bring our own
food and camping equipment. As per Chinese regulations,
transportation ( 4WD jeep) and a Chinese/Tibetan guide
is a must to hire from China/Tibet whereas we will send
Nepalese staff for camping and cooking arrangement.
All the camping/kitchen gears and food supplies will
be brought along from Nepal. The Nepalese kitchen crew
will prepare the food of your taste. |

 To
travel for days on this remote plateau with the chance
encounters of nomads herding their sheep or yaks is
to be transformed into another way of life, to see and
become apart of such a devout pilgrimage as shown by
pilgrims around Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar is to
put some aspects of our western way of life into proper
perspective.
We begin the tour by traveling to Kathmandu and departing
by road to the Nepal/Tibet border town of Zhangmu where
we collect our Transport. We travel by the SOUTHERN
route and after our pilgrimage (religious secular) we
return by the same route. The day to day programs is
outlined as follows:
