Planning the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from abroad requires clear clarity on international passport validity, OCI/PIO card guidelines, Nepal transit visas, high-altitude travel insurance, and USD payment schedules. Below is an essential guide compiled by our international pilgrimage desk to ensure a seamless, well-prepared journey.
OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) and PIO card holders can undertake the Kailash Yatra. However, visa and permit requirements are determined by your passport nationality, not your OCI/PIO status. Ensure your passport has 6+ months validity with at least 2 blank visa pages.
All travelers must have a valid passport with at least 6 months validity from the date of travel and a minimum of 2 blank visa pages. Passport copies are required for Tibet Travel Permit processing: submit them at least 45 days before departure.
All packages are priced in USD. Payments can be made via international wire transfer (SWIFT), or through prior arrangement with our team. We provide a detailed invoice and payment confirmation for your records. No hidden charges or last-minute surcharges.
Most nationalities receive a Nepal visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu. The fee is approximately $30 USD for 15 days or $50 USD for 30 days. Indian passport holders do not need a Nepal visa. Carry 2 passport-size photos for the visa counter.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking (up to 6,000m+), emergency medical evacuation by helicopter, trip cancellation, and baggage loss. International pilgrims should purchase insurance that is valid in Nepal, China, and Tibet.
Our team communicates via WhatsApp, email, and international calling. We provide pre-departure briefing documents, packing checklists, and fitness preparation guides well in advance. A 24/7 emergency contact number is provided for the entire duration of the yatra.

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is anchored by three remarkable natural and spiritual wonders: the majestic unclimbed peak of Mount Kailash, the high-altitude freshwater of Lake Mansarovar, and the 52-kilometer Kailash Parikrama. Together, these elements create a transformative journey revered across world traditions.
Rising dramatically to 6,638 meters above sea level in the Transhimalaya, Mount Kailash stands perpetually unclimbed as the spiritual center of the universe. Revered as the eternal abode of Lord Shiva in Hinduism, Mount Meru in Buddhism, and the seat of spiritual liberation in Jainism and Bon, its four distinct cardinal faces naturally align with the great rivers of Asia.
Situated at an elevation of 4,590 meters on the Tibetan Plateau, Lake Mansarovar is the highest body of freshwater in the world. Originating from the Sanskrit words 'Manas' (mind) and 'Sarovar' (lake), ancient Vedic texts state the lake was conceived in the mind of Lord Brahma before manifesting on Earth. Devout pilgrims perform holy dips and offer prayers along its pristine turquoise shoreline.
The 52-kilometer circumambulation around Mount Kailash is a profound three-day high-altitude trek testing physical endurance and spiritual devotion. Crossing the formidable Dolma La Pass at 5,630 meters elevation, pilgrims honor Yamasthali and behold the emerald waters of Gauri Kund. Completing this circumambulation is believed to cleanse sins of a lifetime.
