Join Holy Mt. Kailash Mansarovar Tour with Earthbound Expeditions that brings you Mansarovar and Kailash area on full Moon day / night 

Come join us for once in a lifetime spiritual journey to the most famous religious sites in Tibet embracing two of the sacred pilgrimage places for disciples of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and the Bon religion, holy Mount Kailash and Mansarovar lake, and take advantage of our experience and expertise as Earthbound Expeditions have been taking people with love & care since 1999 to Kailash Mansarovar.

As one of the most reputed and trusted travel companies to organize the Kailash Mansarovar tour Earthbound Expeditions have designed this 15 days itinerary that starts in Kathmandu with Pashupatinath darshan and goes to Kailash Mansarovar overland via Lhasa and exit Nepal – China Border Kerung / Naylam route. This is one of the cheapest and reliable classic route to the Kailash Mansarovar tour.
If you wish to do all overland tour or via Simikot – Hilsa (west Nepal) using a Helicopter some part we can also organize that.

Mount Kailash (6,638 m), prevalent to Hindus as “Kailash Parvat”, is the most sacred Himalaya of Asia that carries holy and religious importance. Hindus believe the Kailash Parvat is the abode of Lord Shiva, that is why he is known as Kailashpati Mahadev. Not only for Hindus, but the peak is also divine to Buddhist, Jain, and Bonpo religions as well.
Spread out on the Tibetan plateau alongside Mount Kailash and connected to nearby Lake Rakshastal by the natural Ganga Chhu channel, is the giant lake of shifting colors – Lake Mansarovar.  A Mount Kailash tour and a holy bath in the Lake Mansarovar is believed to bring salvation (Moksha) and wipe away all the sins acquired during a journey of life.

The spiritual tour to such glorious sites; Kailash and Mansarovar goes through many routes, although nowadays Mt. Kailash Mansarovar tour is a lot easier some people may find it challenging, and even more, difficulties come when you circumambulate (Parikrama or Khora of Kailash) the peak of the mountain Kailash, therefore, don’t forget to prepare yourself correctly, both mentally and physically, before joining the Kailash Mansarovar yatra.  However, whoever feels complications doing the Kailash parikrama, there is a possibility of hiring a horse or Yak to ride at extra cost. As Earthbound Expeditions have been organizing Kailash Mansarovar yatra safely since 1999 we are one of the reputed travel companies to organize trips in the Himalayan region.

We can drive Up to Mansarovar Lake and  Tharboche / Yama Dwar ( the initial point of Mt. Kailash parikrama) no need to walk. Besides Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Parikrama, Tirthapuri – Bishnu’s place where Sutlej river flow, Gauri Kund – the lake of compassion, Yama Dwar – the initial point of Mt. Kailash parikrama, Shivastal, Asthapad – the bottom of the consecrated mountain, and Tharboche – the flagpole, Sky Burial is the major highlights of Kailash Mansarovar journey.

around Kailash and from there to Lhasa
This message is for those who are interested to join Kailash - Lhasa tour, Traveling with Earthbound Expeditions in (western) Tibet is traveling with a feeling of safety. Especially in that part of the world where they do not have all those safety services we western people are so common with. Earthbound Expedition is very keen on prevention for the food, drinking water, cars and also for the altitude sickness. Yes, it hit me and it hit everyone who is not used to travel on such altitude. But slowly I, and the others are used to it. They never forced a situation for the sake of their own. Speaking for my own. I could make it without taking drugs like Diamox. That brought me the feeling having a very relaxed time in this remote part of the world. Traveling western Tibet and climbing Mount Kailash ( Dolma - La) was a kind of adventure that makes me feel good because they saw it as their duty to guard us without overreacting. And although we were with a group of fourteen, which meant so many different people with all their different wishes, nevertheless everyone off us was satisfied about the quality of life. One thing you should know ! They know very interesting places even the well-known travel guides do not describe. That's another reason for you to consider traveling with Earthbound Expeditions!

Kailash Mansarovar, August 2012
We, a team of 10 like minded friends can never thank Rajan and his team at Earthbound for making our KMS yatra, a truly blessed and most memorable experience of our lives. We all completed our trip successfully on 3rd Sept, 2012. Some of us managed to do "Charan Sparsh -most wonderful experience" from the North Face of Kailash from Derapuk. A billion thanks to Sriram who helped us in our mission. Sri never let us us give up, gently prodding and encouraging us throughout the trek. This made us feel like seasoned trekkers giving us a lot of confidence. God Bless Sri and his wonderful attitude. Sri is indeed a great team leader . More thanks coming your way...... Arjun was a gentle and smiling human being who looked after us very well. Hari was a great entertainer and a good cook. His cooking constantly tickled our taste buds. The awesome trio of Sriram, Arjun & Hari met our countless demands with a smile. If the Great Lord wills it, we want to come back and do inner kora with you and the same team of Sri, Arjun n Hari Rajan who heads this team is a fantabulous person so simple, humble, and positive.
