This article tells you about the Mount Kailash Tour, the Muktinath Tour Package, and the Chitwan jungle safari . Everything is different, but everything is very good and special. Below are full details for every person who wants to go there.
Mount Kailash Tour—Where God Shiva Stays
What is Mount Kailash
The Mount kailash tour is one holy mountain in Tibet. This is not a normal mountain. People from Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Bon all pray to this mountain. They believe God Shiva lives here. It looks like a pyramid with snow and sky touching the top.
Why People Go There
People do Kailash Kora and walk around mountains. It is a 52 km walk and takes 3 days. They believe in doing this clean sin of life. Also, people take holy dips at Lake Mansarovar, a very clear and blue water lake.
Mount Kailash Tour Highlights
- Visit Lake Mansarovar
- Do Kailash Parikrama
- Touch holy ground of Tibet
- See North Face of Kailash
- Darchen, a small village
- Yam Dwar (Gate of God)
- Visit Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu (before starting).
How To Go Mount Kailash
You start from Kathmandu. First visit the temple, then drive to Tibet by bus or jeep. Then go to Saga, Mansarovar, and Darchen and start in Korea. Permit and visa are needed, so I need help from a travel agency.
Who Can Go
It’s not an easy trek. Old people also go, but must check their health. High altitude, so people get headaches and dizziness. Best is to go slow and drink water.
Best Time To Visit Kailash
May to September is best. No snow blocks the road. The sky is clear and the sun is warm. The rest time is very cold, and snow falls.
Food and Sleep
The food is simple—noodles, rice, and soup. Not a hotel like a city. In Tibet, you stay in a basic guesthouse or tent. Bringing a sleeping bag is a good idea.
Tips for Kailash Tour
- Walk slowly in high places.
- No eat meat in Kailash area
- Carry medicine and water
- Good trekking shoe
- Keep warm clothes
- Respect Tibetan culture
- Do not take photo without asking
Muktinath Tour Package – Temple of Salvation
What is Muktinath Temple
The Muktinath tour package is a very old and holy temple in the Mustang District of Nepal. It is 3,800 meters up. Hindus and Buddhists both come here. The word “Mukti” means salvation—people believe after death they get heaven if they visit here.
Why People Visit Muktinath
People bathe in 108 water taps. Then they go inside the temple for darshan. Some also go to Jwala Mai Temple, where fire and water come together—very miraculous.
How To Go Muktinath
