Most people ask about the trip - FAQs
Which documentation are necessary for travelers to visit Kailash?
Which documentation are necessary for travelers to visit Kailash?
To travel to Tibet from China, you must first have a valid passport and a Chinese entrance visa. To process your Kailash entry permission, the travel agent will need a scanned copy of your passport and visa. If you enter Kailash, you only need to provide a scan of your passport; your real passport is needed in Kathmandu to prepare your final visa. However, if you enter Kailash from Kathmandu, you do not need a Chinese visa on your passport. Before you arrive in Nepal with your original passport, please check with your travel agent how many working days they will need to prepare your Kailash permit. The rules governing this could change often.
Can I go to Tibet on my own?
Due to China’s tourist regulations, it is strictly forbidden to travel to Tibet without a travel agency and to apply for a Tibet visa on your own. As a result, you must enter Tibet with the tour agency and their guide after processing your visa and other paperwork through them.
What kind of Foods and drinks on this trip?
The cost of the tour does not include lunch or dinner; this depends on your needs for the facilities. You may purchase all of the food from nearby eateries. Zuthulpuk, Derapuk, and Lake Manasarovar only have extremely basic dining options. Good eateries in Tibetan and Chinese styles can be found in the remaining locations. There are many stores where you may get drinks and other items.

About 4 miles from Derapuk, Charan Sparsha is a sacred trek where one can touch Lord Shiva’s feet. It is the nearest location to Mount Kailash. The inner kora and outer kora combine in an additional day, according to Charan Sparsa.
