Tour Details

Beginning and ending in Lhasa, this Yatra unites the cultural treasures of the holy city with the great overland crossing of the plateau to the divine darshan of Sacred Lake Mansarovar and the three-day Parikrama of Holy Mount Kailash, the eternal abode of Lord Shiva.

Designed for pilgrims who arrive in Lhasa directly, this journey combines Lhasa’s living heritage – the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Sera and Drepung Monasteries and Barkhor Square – with an overland drive along the historic Friendship Highway through Shigatse and Saga to the sacred lake and mountain.
