Featured Kailash Yatra Packages

The trip duration of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra typically ranges from 11 to 14 days. It depends upon the route taken, transportation mediums used, and acclimatization days. 

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a physically challenging pilgrimage that combines both driving and trekking, with the trek reaching altitudes of up to 5,600 meters at Dolma La Pass. The journey involves driving through high-altitude regions, followed by a strenuous trek through rugged terrain, often in unpredictable weather conditions. The combination of altitude, rough paths, and varying climate can be particularly difficult for those who are not physically prepared or properly acclimatized. To ensure a successful and safe journey, pilgrims are advised to engage in regular physical exercise in the months leading up to the trip, gradually ascend to higher altitudes, and stay well-hydrated throughout the pilgrimage. Proper preparation is key to managing the physical demands of the Yatra.

No, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is not open all year round. The official season of the yatra is from May to September. During the winter months, the region is closed to the tourists due to safety reasons.

The best time to visit Mount Kailash would be in the summer, that is, from May to September, when the temperatures can reach up to 15 °C in the daytime but can still drop to 0 °C or less during the night.

Yes, even though it is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to have travel insurance for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. The challenging high-altitude conditions, rugged terrain, and the remote nature of the area make it important to have coverage in case of unexpected events. Make sure to ensure that your insurance covers high-altitude trekking, medical emergencies and evacuation services.
