Tenzing Asian Holidays Simikot Kailash Trek in Tibet
Kailash is regarded as the center of the universe by most of Asia. It is the ultimate Tibetan journey, from the holiest Buddhist mountain, the sculpted perfection of Kailash, through the serene beauty of the Tibetan Plateau. Revered by Buddhists and Hindus alike, Mount Kailash (6,714 m) is the holy mountain of Tibet and is the source of the four great Himalayan rivers, the Indus, the Sutlej, the Bramhaputra and the Karnali.
The area is not open to independent trekkers, though very recently it was opened to foreign trekkers in an organized group with a special permit through Simikot (Humla) region, the highest and northern most district of Nepal. Though the main objective of this trek is Mt. Kailash and Manasarover Lake, the journey through Humla and Tibet is both culturally and scenically rewarding.
Begin your trek to Kailash from Simikot, situated above the Karnali valley, cross high alpine meadow ridges and then descend to the Tibetan border from where we drive to Mt. Kailash through the harsh, barren Tibetan Plateau. Spend about 4 days around Mt. Kailash and 3-4 days around Lake Manasarover and return to the Nepal border to Simikot, the trek end point.
