Additional Information

Many trekkers used to go to Kailash Trekking via Simikot, once the border between Nepal and China (Humla) was opened in 1993. Humla is the most far-flung district located to the northwest side of the country Nepal. The route to Kailash trekking via Simikot is the shortest yet rewards you with amazing views and immense affluence in culture as well as history.

Mt. Kailash, located at the height of 6714 m is also named as Tise, Kang Rinpoche, and Kailasa. It is considered sacred by the Buddhist, the Hindus, Jains, as well as the Bonpos. For the Hindus, the peak is the dwelling spot of Lord Shiva; for the Bonpos, Kailash was the holy nine-story Swastika peak burning from heaven; and for the Buddhists, the peak is a worldly ridge of the immense Mandala of Boddhisatvas and Dhyani-Buddhas, which things can see in this Kailash trekking tour. The Saga Dawa Festival going to celebrate on 05 June 2020 in Tibet (Mt. Kailash).

Excellent Trek from Simikot to Hilsa, then trek around Mt Kailash after Guge Kingdom visit - I started working with Raju over a year before doing this trek/pilgrimage. He has always been present, and has responded to all my requests and remarks with patience, and speed. When I finally arrived in Kathmandu, a few hours late, they were waiting for me at the airport, his kind sister and he, with a big smile. Throughout the 21 days I spent in Nepal and Tibet, I always felt it present, responding to all the little worries of a trip, a little out of the ordinary, and sometimes time. I really appreciated his professionalism, patience and kindness. The great pleasure I gained from this trip owes much to Raju.I am so satisfied that I will start again with him on a trek from Lake Rara to Khaptad NP, then by two days of photo safari at Bardiya NP. Thank you, Raju, and see you soon.

Simikot - Mt. Kailash - Lhasa Trek - Excellently organised and managed private trek for 6 people. Service level exceeding expectations. Staff going beyond call of duty to make it a memorable and successful experience for all group members. Service oriented and very knowledgable guides. Excellent value for money! Highly recommend Nepal Kailash Trekking.
