Mt. Kailash via Simikot (Entry Simikot & Exit Lhasa)

This tour will offer a unique type of trekking experience, which takes you from Simikot to Tibet's mythical Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, via the hidden Humla valley in Nepal's westernmost Tibetan frontier. The remarkable feature of this trip is Kailash kora plus sightseeing tour at attention-grabbing city of Tibetan Plateau - Lhasa. This must-visit city offers abundant Buddhist monasteries, including the Sera Monastery, one of the best preserved monasteries in Tibet, where several hundred monks live and study within it's whitewashed walls and golden roofs. Also, there is Jhorkhang temple, which is probably the most sacred shrine in Tibet, as there is always a procession of devout Tibetans throughout complex. Predominating the city of Lhasa is the Potala Palace, that comprises the old private quarters of the Dalai Lama, as well as several grand state rooms and many important chapels, is another highlight of this tour.


This trip is highly advised for those individuals who are fond of Buddhist Traditional cultural where one can get in touch with the true lifestyle of Buddhist adherents, naturally enhanced beautiful places, hidden valleys, and indigenous religion.
