Overview

The Ultimate Destination for the Realization of Satyam, Shivam & Sundaram

“As the dew is dried up by the morning sun, so are the sins of human beings by the sight of Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar” – Skanda Purana”

Holy Mount Kailash is believed as an important pilgrimage destination as well as a power point, where it is possible to gain inspiration and energy to transform oneself from this physical to higher spiritual level. The custom of circumambulating Mount Kailash is believed to purify the soul and cultivate in each visiting pilgrim the ability to experience the divinity. The experience is elevating and inspiring, and many pilgrims return to their homes with feeling of exaltation and spiritual inspiration.

Karnali Excursions is one of the first tour agencies in Nepal to offer pilgrimage to Holy Mount Kailash in 1993, when China opened its doors to tourism. Ever the since, it has been organizing a well-organized and spiritually fulfilling experience for those who join with us for this pilgrimage of a lifetime.

Here are some of the little things we offer that make our pilgrimage special, meaningful and different than other tour companies.

  • We teach yoga and pranayam, which help to acclimatize in high altitude.
  • We perform morning and evening prayers followed by Bhajans and Kirtans.
  • We demonstrate walking, trekking, eating and sleeping techniques during the entire journey.
  • We provide personal escort to senior citizens, and those who need extra support.
  • Medically trained Karnali senior leaders join as facilitators and team leaders.
  • We serve North Indian, Chinese, Gujrati and South Indian pure vegetarian meals.
