Kailash Mansarovar Yatra happens once in a lifetime. In Hinduism, the idea of spirituality drives the pilgrims to perform religious acts. In a similar way, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra has become an annual ritual for the pilgrims to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva. Mountains are always sanctified areas to perform meditation. It is believed in mythical ages, sages, hermits and even god took refuge to the mountains. Nirvana is a celebrated idea among the pilgrims to follow the path of celibacy. This mystic trek requires a complete faith to own self and the devoted god. Those who practice tantra are devoted completely to Lord Shiva. In Hinduism, he is believed to be the ultimate divine figure from whom cosmic energy starts. Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a spiritual trek where one takes a leap of faith. Kailash Yatra is like a recognition of own self in the path of divinity. It is believed through the eyes of Lord Shiva, one rediscovers own self. In the path of penance, one has to endure hardship. In a similar way, for Kailash Yatra, one has to endure hardship for seeking the blessings of God. The mortal beings always show gratitude towards the ultimate divine strength. Kailash is the heavenly abode of Lord Shiva. Spirituality and religiosity keep everyone to climb up the mountains of Kailash.

The journey is usually undertaken via overland travel, combining road trips and short treks. It is an important pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bonpo followers.
What is the best time to go for the Kailash Yatra with Muktinath Overland?

How difficult is the Kailash Yatra with Muktinath Overland?
The trek to Mount Kailash involves high-altitude conditions (about 5,600 meters or 18,400 feet at the highest point, Dolma La Pass), which can be challenging for some.

Yes. For the Kailash part of the journey, you will need a Tibet Travel Permit, and for the Muktinath region, you’ll need a Special Permit for the Mustang area, which is issued by the Nepalese government. These permits are usually handled by the tour operators organizing the Yatra.

The accommodations vary, but you will find simple guesthouses, lodges, and tents along the way. For instance, in Tibet, the accommodation may be basic, and in Nepal, it can range from comfortable guesthouses to more rustic options.

The overland journey is typically done by jeeps or buses. In some cases, there may be a short trek between locations, especially near the Mount Kailash area. Roads can be rugged, so expect rough terrain in parts.

Generally, it is safe to travel with a well-organized tour operator. However, because of the altitude and terrain, there are some inherent risks. You should ensure that your health and fitness levels are suitable for the journey. It’s advisable to have adequate travel insurance.
