What is the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Lhasa?
This is a journey that begins in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and continues through Tibet’s high-altitude roads to the Kailash Mansarovar region. Pilgrims typically spend a few days acclimatizing in Lhasa before heading toward Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar for the spiritual pilgrimage.
How long does the Yatra take?
The entire journey usually takes about 12 to 14 days, with a few days spent in Lhasa for acclimatization and sightseeing. The trip to Kailash and Mansarovar can take 7 to 9 days, depending on the route and travel conditions.
What are the main highlights of this route?
The key highlights of the route include:
Lhasa: Famous for its Tibetan Buddhist sites such as the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple.
Lake Mansarovar: A holy lake considered to purify the soul.
Mount Kailash: The sacred mountain at the heart of the journey, known for its spiritual significance across multiple religions.
The Tibetan Plateau: High-altitude landscapes and unique Tibetan culture and monasteries.
What is the best time to travel via Lhasa?
The best time for the Yatra is from May to September, when weather conditions are more favorable for travel. During winter, Tibet experiences severe cold, and roads may be closed due to snow.
How do I get to Lhasa?
You can reach Lhasa via:
Flight: Most travelers fly into Lhasa Gonggar Airport from cities like Kathmandu (Nepal), Beijing, or Chengdu (China).
Overland Travel: Some pilgrims opt to travel overland from Kathmandu to Lhasa, a journey that can take about 2 to 3 days by road (via Tibet's border at Zhangmu or Kyirong).
Is acclimatization necessary for this route?
Yes, acclimatization is very important due to the high-altitude nature of the journey. Lhasa is situated at 3,650 meters (11,975 feet) above sea level, and Kailash is over 6,600 meters (21,650 feet). Pilgrims typically spend 2–3 days in Lhasa to allow their bodies to adjust to the altitude before heading to higher altitudes.
Do I need permits for traveling to Kailash Mansarovar via Lhasa?
Yes, you need special permits to enter Tibet. These permits are usually arranged by tour operators. The necessary permits include:
Tibet Travel Permit: Required for entry into Tibet.
Alien’s Travel Permit: If you're traveling to areas outside Lhasa.
Kailash Mansarovar Permit: Specifically for visiting the Kailash region.
These permits are generally arranged by a travel agency that specializes in Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimages.
What are the travel options from Lhasa to Kailash Mansarovar?
After acclimatizing in Lhasa, you travel by private vehicle (jeep, bus, or minivan) to the Kailash Mansarovar region. The journey involves high-altitude roads that can take around 4 to 6 days, depending on road conditions and stops.
Is the journey via Lhasa physically demanding?
The journey itself is less physically demanding than the traditional trekking route, but altitude sickness is a risk. It’s essential to follow acclimatization procedures and consult a doctor if you have any concerns regarding your health at high altitudes.
What should I bring with me on the journey?
Essentials to bring include:
Warm clothing: Even in summer, temperatures can drop drastically in the mountains.
Sunscreen and sunglasses: The sun is intense at high altitudes.
Medication: For altitude sickness, pain relief, and other basic needs.
Personal documents: Passport, permits, and any travel documents required by your operator.
Camera: To capture the breathtaking landscapes.
Can I combine the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra with sightseeing in Tibet?
Yes, many travel agencies offer packages that include sightseeing in Lhasa and surrounding areas (like the Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, and Sera Monastery) before proceeding to Kailash Mansarovar. Some packages also include visits to Tibetan monasteries and cultural sites.
Is it safe to travel via Lhasa?
Yes, the journey is generally safe if you follow all the necessary guidelines and travel with an authorized agency. However, road conditions can sometimes be challenging, and the high-altitude environment requires caution. Ensure that you are well-prepared and in good health before undertaking the journey.
How much does the Yatra cost?
The cost of the Yatra varies depending on the package and inclusions. On average, a guided tour from Lhasa can cost anywhere between $2,000 to $5,000 USD per person. This includes travel, permits, accommodation, and local transportation. Costs can fluctuate based on the type of accommodation and additional services offered.
Can I trek around Mount Kailash from Lhasa?
Yes, there are options to perform the traditional Kora (circumambulation) around Mount Kailash. The Kora is a 3-day trek at high altitude, and most pilgrims perform it to complete their spiritual journey. However, this is physically demanding and should only be undertaken after thorough acclimatization.
Are there any health precautions to consider?
High-altitude sickness is a common concern. It’s recommended to carry medication for altitude sickness (like Diamox), and it’s important to stay hydrated. A doctor’s consultation is advisable before traveling, especially for people with pre-existing health conditions.
