What is Kailash Yatra without Parikrama?
This refers to a pilgrimage where you visit Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, but you do not perform the full Kora (circumambulation) around the mountain, which is typically a multi-day trek at high altitude. Instead, you may visit Kailash and perform prayers and rituals at specific sites around the base of the mountain, such as Darchen (the starting point of the Kora), Mansarovar, and other sacred sites.
Why choose Kailash Yatra without Parikrama?
Less physically demanding: For pilgrims who are unable or unwilling to trek the challenging Kora route (due to age, health issues, or other reasons), this is a more accessible option.
Focus on the spiritual experience: The visit to Kailash and Mansarovar remains spiritually significant, even without completing the Parikrama. Many pilgrims believe that just visiting the sacred mountain and participating in rituals brings blessings.
Time-efficient: Without the Kora trek, the journey can be completed in a shorter amount of time.
How long does the Kailash Yatra without Parikrama from Lucknow take?
The trip typically lasts around 10 to 12 days, depending on the tour operator and the itinerary. The main components of the journey include traveling overland to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, with some optional visits to other spiritual sites, without the extended trek of the full Parikrama.
What is the starting point for the Kailash Yatra from Lucknow?
The tour generally starts from Lucknow, with pilgrims traveling to either Kathmandu (Nepal) or Lhasa (Tibet) as the gateway to Tibet. From there, the journey continues overland to Kailash and Mansarovar.
Do I need special permits for Kailash Yatra without Parikrama?
Yes, you will need several permits to visit Mount Kailash:
Tibet Travel Permit: Required to enter Tibet.
Kailash Pilgrimage Permit: Needed for accessing specific sacred sites around Kailash and Mansarovar.
Chinese Visa: Necessary for entry into Tibet (issued by the Chinese Embassy in your country).
The tour operator typically arranges all these permits for you, but make sure to check the specific requirements for your nationality.
What is the best time to go for Kailash Yatra without Parikrama?
The best time for the Kailash Yatra is from May to September when the weather is relatively warm, and the routes are more accessible. The weather can be harsh in the winter months, with freezing temperatures and snow, making travel and outdoor activities difficult.
What is the accommodation like during the Kailash Yatra without Parikrama?
Accommodation during the journey is usually basic:
In Tibet, you will find simple guesthouses and lodges.
During the overland part of the journey, there will likely be tent camps or basic accommodations at places like Darchen and Lake Mansarovar.
Facilities may be basic, so you should be prepared for basic services and shared bathrooms in many places.
What kind of transportation is used?
The overland journey from Lucknow to Kailash is usually done by jeep or bus. The roads to Kailash are rugged and can be quite rough, especially in high-altitude areas, so 4x4 vehicles are commonly used. Some trekking may be required to visit certain locations near Kailash, but there will be no long trekking if you're not doing the full Parikrama.
Is Kailash Yatra without Parikrama safe?
The Kailash Yatra without Parikrama is generally safe when organized through a reputable tour operator. However, safety during the journey depends on:
High-altitude conditions: While you avoid the full Kora trek, you’ll still be at high altitudes (around 4,500 to 5,600 meters), so it’s important to acclimatize properly.
Health considerations: Ensure you're in good physical health to handle the travel conditions and high-altitude environment. Some travelers may experience altitude sickness, so proper preparation and acclimatization are crucial.
What are the spiritual benefits of Kailash Yatra without Parikrama?
While the Parikrama is considered the most traditional and spiritually rewarding way to circumambulate Kailash, simply visiting the sacred sites is still believed to purify sins, bring spiritual blessings, and lead to moksha (liberation). Pilgrims believe that the mere sight of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar can bestow divine blessings.
How do I prepare for Kailash Yatra without Parikrama?
Physical Preparation: While you won’t be trekking the Kora, the high-altitude environment still requires some physical fitness. Engage in light cardio and strength training, and be prepared for some walking at high altitudes.
Acclimatization: You may want to spend some time in a high-altitude location, such as Kathmandu, before traveling to Kailash to adjust to the altitude.
Travel Gear: Pack warm clothing, sturdy shoes, a water bottle, sunscreen, a hat, and personal hygiene supplies. Bring a first aid kit and any necessary medications.
How much does the Kailash Yatra without Parikrama from Lucknow cost?
The cost of the tour can vary depending on the operator, the services provided, and the specific package. On average, the price can range from $2,500 to $4,000 USD per person. This usually covers the cost of transportation, accommodation, meals, permits, and guide services.
Who can go for Kailash Yatra without Parikrama?
Health considerations: The tour is open to most people, but you should be in good health, as the journey involves travel at high altitudes.
Age limits: Some operators may have age restrictions (typically between 18 to 70 years), but this can vary by operator.

Indian woman Pilgrims are strictly advised not to wear Sari. Bring all the medicines, cosmetics, personal toilet items, etc. that you need at home as these are difficult (if not impossible) to obtain on the way. A small first aid kit is also a good idea. Also, quite useful to have a route map, to know where you are going and have been each day.
What to Carry
Winter wear: Gore-Tex material though expensive is highly recommended to beat the chilling cold. Also, carry down jacket, raincoat or windbreakers, thermal underwears, Jackets, warm trousers & woolen shirts (cotton will also do), warm sweaters, woolen gloves, sun hat, sunglass, comfortable shoes, light leather boots in case of snow, woolen balaclava (‘monkey cap’) & scarf/dust mask to protect your eyes & nose from dust and cold.
Carry with you

Personal medical kit and Diamox tablet (for high altitude), Sunglasses (to protect your eyes from UV, which is especially strong in high altitudes), sunblock or sunscreen lotion, wet tissues (Fresh-ones are excellent to wipe off the dust), clothes-line/clips, needle & thread, deo-spray (handy for smelly boots/feet and for a round of spray in the toilet tent!), toilet paper, torch & spare batteries, daypack (small shoulder bag), Camera & films, Binocular.
Health
This is one of the toughest high-altitude road journeys on earth. You Must be physically fit – no two ways about that. Generally, patients with asthma & heart problems have a problem acclimatizing to high altitudes. In your interests, it is essential that you be examined by your doctor to know about your health condition and your ability to cope up with the rigors of high altitude travel for days in ‘no road’ conditions, extreme cold, dust, trekking to an altitude of 19500ft during the Parikrama, etc.
Altitude Sickness
As you are traveling over high terrain, you are likely to experience symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness (headache, loss of appetite, nausea, exhaustion, sleeplessness, breathlessness, etc.) until your body adjusts to the elevation. This can take a couple of days or more depending on an individual. For this reason alone, we have made it mandatory to stay 2 nights at Kerung before moving on to the higher altitudes. Be calm, and do not exercise. Do not drink alcohol or smoke prior to and during the tour. We provide a Gamow bag (a special equipment to prevent sickness from high altitude) on this tour.
