This 13 days trip is very interesting and colorful, you can not only experience the most traditional Tibetan culture and history, but also you will view the most original nature.
On this trip, there is a 3-day trek which is the most attractive but hard trek in the world. And after this trekking discovery, you will go to Kathmandu from Rashuwaghadi by land which also is a nice trying in Tibetan tour.
Mt. Kailash, the holiest mountain for these four religions: Bon, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, is also the center for these four religions. So going on a pilgrimage to Mt. Kailash is a life goal for all these believers.
Mt. Kailash is not the highest mountain in this area but it is really easy to distinguish from other mountains by the perennial snow cover. Looking at it from a distance, it is like a massive pyramid standing on the Purang plateau to show itself to the world.
During this 3-day trekking trip, we will pass by a lot of scenic spots such as Dirapuk Monastery, lake Khandotso, Milarepa’s mysterious cave, and so on then you can deeply learn about the religious cultures and nature views.
Our whole trekking line is a circle one: Darchen to Dirapuk to Zutulpuk to Darchen. It is 40 km in total and the second day will be the hardest one, we will walk 18 km, and pass by a 5,630-meter peak which is really a big challenge for us. We know this is a very attractive tour for you but you have to think twice that you can handle all these challenges before booking.
This is a holy pilgrimed tour for everyone, you should not miss it if you come to Tibet. Maybe you will come up with some new ideas about your life.
