Most Indian pilgrims who do not travel with the Government of India’s MEA-run yatra go via Nepal. Kathmandu is the base: documents are prepared here, groups gather here, and the journey into Tibet starts from here.

Overland via Kathmandu

Drive from Kathmandu to the Nepal–Tibet border, then onwards across the Tibetan plateau to Mansarovar and Darchen, with acclimatisation stops on the way.

Helicopter via Nepalgunj–Simikot

Fly to Nepalgunj near the Indian border, then Simikot, and a short helicopter hop to Hilsa before crossing into Tibet. It is a shorter journey overall.

What we handle

  • Tibet permits and China group visa through our licensed Tibet partners
  • Hotels, flights and helicopters on the Nepal side
  • Oxygen, a first-aid kit and a trained tour leader with the group
  • Parikrama support: yaks, porters and ponies on request

Before you book

  • An Indian passport is required (Voter ID is not enough for Tibet).
  • Permits are issued by the Chinese authorities each season, so dates and group rules can change. We confirm what is possible when you enquire.
  • The yatra reaches over 5,000 m during the parikrama. A medical check-up before travel is strongly advised.

Frequently asked questions

When does the Kailash Mansarovar yatra season run?

Normally from May to September, subject to the Tibet permits being issued for that year. Peak departures are around the full-moon dates (Guru Purnima and Shravan Purnima).

What documents does an Indian pilgrim need?

A passport valid for at least six months, photos and a medical fitness certificate. The China group visa and Tibet permits are applied for by our partners using your passport scan, so send documents well in advance.

Overland or helicopter: which route is better?

Helicopter via Simikot takes fewer days overall and suits pilgrims short on time. The overland route via Kathmandu is more gradual for acclimatisation and allows larger groups. We will recommend one based on your group.

Do you work with Indian travel agents for Kailash?

Yes. Kailash is one of the programmes we handle as a ground partner for agents in India, from document collection to return to Kathmandu.
