Insight to Mount Kailash Mansarovar:

Mount Kailash, a towering peak that pierces the sky at 6,638 meters (21,778 feet), stands as an eternal symbol of divinity. Enveloped in an air of mystique, it holds a special place in the hearts of devotees from Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and the ancient Bön religion. For Hindus, Mount Kailash is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva, the cosmic dancer and destroyer of evil. Buddhists view it as the home of Chakrasamvara, an embodiment of enlightened compassion. The pilgrimage to this sacred mountain is not merely a physical undertaking; it is a spiritual journey, an odyssey of self-discovery and transcendence.

Adjacent to Mount Kailash, the ethereal beauty of Lake Mansarovar captivates the soul. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the surrounding peaks, creating a mirror to the heavens. On this trip, you will have the opportunity to partake in a symbolic cleansing, a dip in the sacred lake believed to purify the soul and wash away the mundane impurities of life. Mansarovar, which means "mind-born," is not just a lake; it is a reservoir of spiritual energy and a symbol of purity that has inspired poets and mystics through the ages.

The journey itself becomes a testament to your strength and endurance as you embark on the Kailash Parikrama—a trek around Mount Kailash. As pilgrims circumambulate the sacred peak, they are surrounded by the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Himalayas, a reminder of the vastness of the universe and the smallness of human existence.

Yet, the journey is not solely about physical challenges; it is an invitation to immerse oneself in the unique Tibetan culture that envelopes the region. Monasteries adorned with prayer flags, resonant chants echoing through the valleys, and the warm hospitality of the local people create an atmosphere that transcends cultural boundaries. On this trip, you will not just witness but actively participate in rituals and ceremonies, embracing a way of life shaped by the mountains.

To ensure that this spiritual odyssey is accessible to all, our meticulously crafted Mount Kailash Mansarovar Trip Package addresses the logistical complexities while prioritizing the comfort and well-being of travelers. Throughout the journey, experienced guides and support staff will accompany you, sharing not only their expertise but also the profound wisdom embedded in the ancient landscapes.

Join us on this sacred sojourn, where spirituality meets adventure in the lap of the Himalayas. The Mount Kailash Mansarovar Trip is an opportunity to rediscover the sacred essence within oneself, leaving an indelible mark not only on the memory but on the very fabric of the soul. As you traverse the trails and circumambulate the sacred peak, may you find not just the summit of Mount Kailash but the summit of your spiritual awakening.

Best time for Mount Kailash Mansarovar Trip

The best time for the Mount Kailash Mansarovar Trip is during the late spring to early autumn months, specifically from May to September. This period provides the most favorable weather conditions, ensuring a more comfortable and accessible journey for pilgrims.

In late spring, from May to June, temperatures are moderate, and the landscape is adorned with blooming flowers, creating a picturesque setting. The summer months of July and August bring warmer temperatures, making trekking more comfortable, and higher regions become more accessible. This is an ideal time to undertake the sacred Kailash Parikrama and witness the pristine Mansarovar Lake, free from ice.

Early autumn in September maintains favorable weather conditions with cooler temperatures, clear skies, and lush landscapes, providing pilgrims with stunning views of Mount Kailash and the surrounding peaks.

It is important to note that the region experiences harsh winter conditions outside of this May to September timeframe, with snow and cold rendering the area less accessible. As weather conditions can vary, pilgrims should check with local authorities and tour operators for the latest information before planning their spiritual journey to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar.

Things to do upon your Arrival at Kathmandu before your trek:

Upon your arrival at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative from our company will be there to extend a warm welcome to you. You will then be swiftly transferred to the hotel in a private vehicle. Upon reaching the hotel, you can check in and take some time to relax. At the scheduled time, our company owner, Hom Rana, will personally greet you for the trip briefing on the Everest Base Camp Trek, providing comprehensive details.

During this briefing, we will carefully go through your packing list to ensure you have everything you need. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet your trek guide and receive essential items such as the company duffel bag, t-shirt, cap, and trekking map.

In the evening, we cordially invite you to join us for a welcome dinner hosted by the company. Following this, the next day you will embark on a flight to Lukla to commence your trekking adventure.

Lukla Flight Information (Kathmandu & Ramechhap):

We would like to update you on important changes regarding Lukla flights during peak trek seasons (March, April, May, October, and November). Due to increased air traffic in these months, Lukla flights will be operated from Manthali airport in Ramechhap instead of Kathmandu. However, during non-peak seasons (January, February, June, July, August, September, and December), Lukla flights will continue to operate from Kathmandu.

If you are catching a Lukla flight from Ramechhap, please be advised that you need to depart from Kathmandu early in the morning, around 1:30 to 2:00 AM. The journey from Kathmandu to Ramechhap takes approximately 4-5 hours. Your guide will arrive at your hotel at the specified time to pick you up and drive you to Ramechhap.

It’s important to note that Lukla flights may face disruptions due to factors such as bad weather, airline technical problems, and other unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, we recommend planning for an additional 2-3 days as a contingency to accommodate potential delays.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adapting to these changes for a smoother and more enjoyable trekking experience.

Tea House Meals During EBC Trek:

Nepal Peak Adventure consistently provides our clients with top-notch lodging and dining options. Our Everest Base Camp package includes three full-board meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, complemented by tea or coffee at each meal. Throughout the trek, you can choose your meals from the teahouse menu, which offers a variety of local and international dishes, ensuring you maintain energy levels with nourishing meals.

You have the flexibility to opt for Nepali, Western, or Indian cuisines during the entire trek, and the cost of food is covered in the package, allowing you to relish your preferred meals. We highly recommend trying Dal and Bhaat, a typical Nepali dish. For day hikes, it’s beneficial to carry energy bars or dried fruits and stay well-hydrated.

For health reasons, we strongly advise against consuming non-vegetarian items throughout the trek.

Typical Day during EBC trek:

Your trek officially begins upon your arrival in Lukla. Each day, a typical routine commences with a substantial breakfast served between 6:30 to 7:30 AM. After breakfast, you set out on your trek, progressing toward the planned destinations. Before starting the trek, it is advisable to pack all the essentials for the day hike in your backpack, while your duffel bags will be carried by the porter at their own pace.

Throughout the journey, you will make regular stops for short breaks to hydrate, have snacks, or capture photos. Typically, after three to four hours of trekking, a lunch break is scheduled along the route.

Upon reaching the designated overnight stay, you have the opportunity to relax or explore the surrounding area. In the evening, around 6 to 7 PM, dinner will be served. Following dinner, you can engage in conversation with your guide, who will also brief you about the plan for the next day. Subsequently, you can choose to retire to bed or spend your time playing cards, reading books, or simply relaxing at your own pace.

About Wifi, Charging, and Electricity Facility in Tea Houses:

Upon your airport arrival, it is recommended to acquire a Nepali SIM card (with Ncell being a suggested choice) for the duration of your entire trek. You can opt for a tourist data pack that remains accessible for most of the trek, covering locations like Lukla, Namche, Phakding, and Gorakshep. While teahouses generally offer WiFi facilities, there are additional charges ranging from approximately 300-500 per device. Hence, having a data pack proves beneficial in these regions.

In Tyangboche or Deboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche, you can obtain a WiFi card from Airlink. They offer an unlimited internet package at the cost of NRS 700 for 24 hours and NRS 1200 for 48 hours. This Airlink WiFi is accessible in almost all teahouses along the way but can only be logged in on one device.

For charging, an extra fee is required, depending on the devices and duration. Free charging is available until Namche, where there is an electricity supply. However, after Namche, particularly from Dingboche onward, all teahouses rely on solar energy, and charging your devices is not free. The pricing for charging varies from place to place. Note that charging may be slow and challenging at times due to low solar energy.

Best season for Everest Bsae Camp trek 14 Days:

The key ingredient for a successful Everest Base Camp trek is timing it right. The optimal seasons for trekking are spring (March to May) and autumn (November to December). However, it’s worth noting that during these peak seasons, the trail tends to be crowded with fellow trekkers. If you prefer a less crowded experience, choosing the shoulder times such as post-monsoon and pre-winter is an option, and Nepal Peak Adventure can seamlessly arrange it for you.

Preparation for trekking in Nepal is a crucial aspect, and when it comes to packing gear, careful selection of the right materials is essential. A well-thought-out preparation and packing strategy contribute significantly to the success of the trek.

We conduct a thorough packing list check during the briefing session in Kathmandu and provide you with a company duffel bag. It’s important to note that there is a weight limit of 20 kg for luggage carried by our porter, with one porter assigned for two trekkers. Therefore, each trekker’s luggage weight should not exceed 10 kg. We kindly request you to pack accordingly.
