Kathmandu-KathmanduOverview
The 17-Day Kailash Tour via Lhasa and Everest Base Camp, organized by World Trade Travel & Tours Pvt. Ltd., offers an unforgettable journey through some of the most sacred and stunning landscapes of Tibet and Nepal. This tour combines spiritual exploration with breathtaking natural beauty, allowing travelers to experience the iconic Mount Kailash, the vibrant city of Lhasa, and the majestic Everest Base Camp in Nepal.
The journey begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa, Tibet’s capital, where you will acclimatize and explore the rich cultural heritage of the city. Lhasa is home to historical landmarks like the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Sera Monastery. These sites provide a deep insight into Tibetan Buddhism and the ancient traditions of the region. Travelers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture, tasting Tibetan cuisine and learning about the area’s unique spiritual practices.
After exploring Lhasa, the tour proceeds to Everest Base Camp (EBC) in Nepal. The drive offers stunning views of the Himalayan range, with Mount Everest standing tall as the crowning glory. The journey to EBC includes stops at various Tibetan villages, where travelers can observe the traditional Tibetan way of life. At the base camp, visitors will be awe-struck by the sheer beauty of the world’s highest peak and have the opportunity to take memorable photographs of the surrounding landscapes.
From Everest Base Camp, the tour continues towards Mount Kailash, one of the holiest mountains in the world, located in the far western part of Tibet. Kailash holds immense religious significance for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bonpo practitioners. Pilgrims from around the world come to perform the sacred Kora, a circumambulation around the mountain that is believed to bring spiritual enlightenment and wash away sins. The 3-day trek around Kailash is challenging but rewarding, providing spiritual solace and stunning views of the surrounding Tibetan plateau.
Throughout the journey, World Trade Travel & Tours Pvt. Ltd. ensures a smooth and comfortable experience for travelers. The tour is designed with ample time for rest and acclimatization, and all necessary permits and arrangements are taken care of. The company provides professional local guides and support staff to ensure safety, comfort, and a deeper understanding of the areas visited. Special attention is given to the needs of each traveler, making this an ideal tour for both seasoned travelers and those seeking spiritual awakening.
The Kailash tour concludes with a return to Lhasa, where you will spend the final day of the journey soaking in the Tibetan atmosphere one last time before heading back to Kathmandu. With the expertise of World Trade Travel & Tours Pvt. Ltd., this tour promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, offering a rare opportunity to explore the sacred and rugged landscapes of Tibet, coupled with the majestic beauty of Mount Kailash and the grandeur of Mount Everest.
