Overview
Embark on a captivating 14-day journey that seamlessly blends the majesty of Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar with the cultural riches of Lhasa. The tour commences with an overland expedition from Kathmandu, navigating through the picturesque Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway, and later diverging to Trishuli or Tokha Road, depending on the season. Both routes converge at Trishuli township, marking the beginning of an enchanting uphill drive along the Langtang Valley route in Nepal.
As part of the Kailash Manasarovar tour with Lhasa, the scenic beauty unfolds, offering ample opportunities for photography. Post-border formalities on both the Nepal and Tibet sides, there’s a vehicle switch to Tibetan transport. A formal introduction precedes the transition of guidance from the Nepali to the Tibetan guide and driver, who will then escort you to a hotel/guest house in Kerung township for an overnight stay, facilitating acclimatization.
