Mount Kailash, also known as Gang Rinboche, is one of the most holiest mountain in the world. At the altitude of 6,656 meters, Mt.Kailash, the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains, is regarded as the world center by Tibetan Buddhists, the Hindus, Jains and Bon practitioners.

Besides, Mount Kailash is appraised as one of the top ten most beautiful mountains in China by Chinese National Geography. Thus, swarms of tourists and pilgrims from all over the world would come to pay their homage to Mount Kailash.

When to Visit Kailash

The best time to trek Mt.Kailash are May to June and September to October, during which you can perfectly avoid the rainy season and muddy road. And winter of Ngari comes much earlier than other parts of Tibet. This area would be covered in heavy snow from November to April.

How to Get to Mt.Kailash

Most tourists would like to travel overland from Lhasa to Darchen via Xinjiang-Tibet Highway. And you can also take flights to Ali Kunsha Airport first and then transfer to Mount Kailash. As for travelers who enter Tibet from Nepal, they can also take a helicopter flight to Mt.Kailash to cut down the whole traveling time.

What to Pack for Kailash Tour

Considering the harsh weather and temperature, you'd better bring a pair of gloves, sunglasses, woolen sweaters, thermal underwear, down jacket, hiking boots, waterproof backpack, etc.

Accommodation in Kailash Kora

The overall level of accommodation in Ngari is very poor and basic. While trekking Mount Kailash, tourists can only have to stay overnight at the monastery guesthouse or camping outside.

Foods and Drinks in Kailash Trek

Darchen, a small village at the foot of Mount Kailash, is a starting and ending point of this tough trek. Here you can get some supplies but the price would be much higher. Thus, we suggest you to buy some bread, chocolate, biscuits, instant noodles, in Lhasa City or Shiquanhe Town.
