Four routes to Kailash and Mansarovar in 2027, with day-wise itinerary, prices, inclusions and fixed group dates.

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar in Tibet, sacred to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and followers of Bon. My India Trip runs four routes for Indian pilgrims in 2027: helicopter from Lucknow, helicopter from Kathmandu, overland via Kerung and via Lhasa.
The most popular package is the 10-day helicopter route from Lucknow. It uses a flight to Simikot and a helicopter to Hilsa on the Tibet border, so you avoid days of driving, and still walk the full 3-day Kailash parikrama and take the holy dip at Lake Mansarovar.
Prices in 2027 start at Rs 2,30,000 for the overland route and Rs 2,75,000 for the helicopter route from Lucknow. Every package includes transport, permits, stay, meals, a Tibetan guide and a tour leader.
Prices start at the start point of the yatra. Tickets from your home city are not included, and we help you plan them.
Start from Lucknow in the morning and drive to Nepalgunj in Nepal. It is a full-day journey that includes border formalities at Rupaidiha. Check in to your hotel, meet your tour leader and attend a short briefing on the yatra.
Take the morning flight to Simikot, then a helicopter to Hilsa on the Nepal–Tibet border. Cross into Tibet, complete Chinese customs and immigration at Purang (Taklakot) and check in. Flights depend on the weather, so the timing can shift.
Drive across the Tibetan plateau, past Lake Rakshas Tal. On a clear day you get your first view of Mount Kailash. Reach Lake Mansarovar by evening and rest by the shore.
Take the holy dip in Lake Mansarovar if the weather allows, followed by puja and havan on the shore. Later drive to Darchen, the base town for the Kailash parikrama, and prepare for the walk.
Drive to Yam Dwar, where the parikrama begins, and walk along the valley to Dirapuk. You get a close view of the north face of Mount Kailash. Ponies and porters are available at your own cost.
The longest and hardest day. Climb to Dolma La, the highest point of the circuit, pass Gauri Kund, then descend to Zutulpuk. Start early and walk at your own steady pace.
Walk the last stretch to complete the parikrama, then take the long drive back to Purang. Rest and repack for the return.
Complete Chinese exit formalities, cross back to Hilsa and fly by helicopter to Simikot. Weather can delay flights in the hills, so keep your plans flexible.
Fly from Simikot to Nepalgunj and check in to your hotel. This day also works as a weather buffer if earlier flights were delayed.
After breakfast, drive back to Lucknow. The tour ends on arrival in the evening, with the blessings of Kailash and Mansarovar.
The programme can change because of weather, permits, flight or helicopter availability, and your group's health. The tour leader will keep you informed.
