LIMI VALLEY TREK & KAILASH TOUR

The Trans Himalayan Limi valley trek is one of the most beautiful treks in Nepal. This trek will give you the opportunity to see Bharal (Himalayan blue sheep), Jackals, kiang (wild ass), musk deer and snow leopard if you are lucky enough. This is the only trek where you can still witness the vibrant Tibetan culture and their lifestyle. This trek follows the ancient salt trading route to the border of Nepal and China, crossing the high pass of Nara La (4,620m) and Nayalu La (4,900m) with amazing views of the high mountains. During this trek you can see some great Himalayas of Nepal like Byas Rishi, Api, Saipal and some Tibetan Himalayas like Mt. Kailash and Gorlamdanda and holy Lake Mansarovar. This trek is one of the best off the beaten trek for every adventure lover.

Trek begins with warm traditional welcome and quick safety briefing followed by comprehensive trip briefing next day, introduction to your guide and entertain last minutes questions.

The beauty of the 6700-meter high Mount Kailash that looks like a symmetrical cone shaped rock capped by pure crystalline ice is equally venerated as the holiest pilgrimage site by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bön-Po. Tibetans regard this mountain as the manifestation of Mount Meru, “the navel of the earth” where founder of Bon religion, Tonpa Shenrab, is believed to have descended from heaven, Hindus as the abode of Lord Shiva, Buddhists as the abode of Samvara and Jains as a sacred site where their prophet, Rishaba attained spiritual enlightenment. With its four sheer walls, distinctive snow-capped peak, and valleys interspersed with brightly-clad Tibetan pilgrims, Mount Kailash or Khang Rimpoche (‘precious snow-peak’, as known by the Tibetans) is an awe-inspiring sight.

Four great rivers of Asia: the Karnali, the Indus, the Sutlej and the Brahmaputra (Tsangpo) originate from here. A three-day trek (Parikrama or Kora) around Mount Kailash over a 5630 meter Drolma La (pass), clockwise for Buddhists and Hindus, and anti-clockwise followers of the ancient Bon religion, is said to erase the sins of a lifetime. To complete the Kailash pilgrimage one should bath in the sacred Lake Manasarovar, stunningly set on the Tibetan plateau bordered by the majestic Gurla Mandata.

The tour begins with a comprehensive trip briefing in Kathmandu followed by a sensational trans Himalayan flight to Lhasa that passes over Mt. Everest and many highest peaks of the world (if you join the tour in Kathmandu). This is the only flight fly over Mt. Everest and other highest peaks. In case you wish to start the tour in Lhasa arriving from anywhere in mainland China or taking a new train from Beijing you will be briefed about the tour by your Tibetan Guide. After kora further drive across the wide open spaces of the Tibetan Plateau takes taking off the main highway toward Rongbuk.
