What our guest says ?
Click for CommentsDear,
We have engaged Ganesh as our guide a number of times over the years and each time, he has delivered in spades. We have found him to be very warm and sincere in his dealings with me.

  Mt.Kailash Mansarover
 
 
 
MT. Kailash & Lake Mansorvar
 
Best Season: May - October

This is by far the shortest & the most direct approach to Mt. Kailash & is best suited for those on pilgrimage or those who are on a tight schedule. It is also the most popular trip.

The trip is planned to arrive at Mt. Kailash on a full-moon day to view the mountain in its full glory & majesty. We drive via Zhangmu following the southern route where the scenery, with its sweeping plains, sand dunes & the Himalaya range is more majestic.
