We start the trip with a few days of touring the capital city of Lhasa and local towns of Gyantse and Shigatse, then go to Mount Kailash.
Key Information
Mount Kailash is one of the world’s most elusive and exotic pilgrimage sites. Because of its remote location on the plateau, it is estimated that only a few thousand pilgrims a year make the trip, despite its vast Hindu and Buddhist significance. This trip entails a few days on the road, and trekking is involved in the journey’s middle stage. Highlights include driving, hiking on the scenic Tibetan plateau, and seeing the rich Tibetan culture and several monasteries.
Trekking is a wellness activity that helps in detoxification. We now provide meals that include superfoods as part of the ingredients for better acclimatization to high altitude and better nourishment.
We are pioneers in gourmet trekking in the Himalayas. We provide a varied, interesting menu on treks throughout the Himalayas. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals can be catered for upon request, and other special diets can be accommodated with advance notice.

Although to provide a better experience, we also tailor our meals to include superfoods as part of the ingredients to keep you fit and healthy while also assisting in acclimatization to high altitude.
