What is Kailash Door Darshan?

How do I get to Kailash Door Darshan?
Most travelers access Kailash Door Darshan via Nepal. The trip typically starts from Kathmandu, where you'll travel overland or by flight to Simikot in Nepal, then continue to Hilsa, which is on the border with Tibet (China). From Hilsa, you’ll proceed to Purang, the closest town to Mount Kailash.
Is a visa required for Kailash Door Darshan?
