Description of 14 Days Kailash Manasarovar Yatra via Kyirong 2026
The 14 Days Kailash Manasarovar Yatra 2026 via Kyirong is designed by Divine Kailash for pilgrims who want a gentle, scenic, and spiritually focused journey into Tibet. Beginning in Kathmandu, the route rises gradually through lush valleys and Himalayan foothills before entering the wide-open Tibetan plateau. This slower ascent makes the Kailash Manasarovar tour via Kyirong one of the most comfortable and well-balanced ways to reach Mount Kailash, especially for first-time high-altitude travellers.
As the journey continues toward Kyirong and Saga, the landscape shifts dramatically, from green hillsides to vast stretches of Tibetan highlands. The overland route provides a quiet, meditative rhythm as you travel alongside rivers, glaciers, and ancient monasteries. By the time travellers approach Manasarovar, they have fully transitioned into the spiritual energy of the region. This natural pacing sets the perfect foundation for the upcoming Kailash Parikrama and the immersive experience offered by the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra via Kyirong.
Reaching Manasarovar is often described as the emotional high point of the journey. The turquoise lake, framed by panoramic views of Kailash, creates a sense of purity that words cannot fully capture. Pilgrims perform puja, meditation, and ritual cleansing on its banks before heading to Darchen—the gateway to the sacred Parikrama. This part of the Kailash Manasarovar tour package 2026 allows travellers time to prepare spiritually and mentally for the days of trekking that lie ahead, including the ascent toward Dolma La Pass outlined in the classic Kyirong in/out Kailash yatra itinerary.
The three-day circumambulation is both challenging and transformative. Walking from Yamadwar to Diraphuk brings pilgrims face-to-face with the majestic North Face of Kailash. The following day, the trek across Dolma La Pass—one of the most revered points of the entire pilgrimage—is both physically demanding and spiritually elevating. The descent through Gaurikund and onward to Zuthulphuk offers quieter terrain where many reflect on their personal journey, making this stretch of the Kailash Yatra Kyirong route deeply meaningful.
As the Parikrama concludes and the group returns toward Saga and Kyirong, the landscapes that once felt foreign begin to feel familiar. The final days offer time to integrate the experience, appreciate the vast Tibetan scenery, and reconnect with fellow pilgrims. Completing the Kyirong in/out Kailash Yatra is often described as life-changing, an achievement that blends devotion, endurance, and inner discovery. Throughout the journey, the Divine Kailash team ensures comfort, safety, and heartfelt guidance, allowing every pilgrim to experience the sacredness of Kailash in its truest form.

It was a road trip from Gorakhpur, and everything went perfectly, with excellent service, hotels, food, and all arrangements. The best part is the Nepali support contact; one phone call and all your problems are resolved. Special thanks to both drivers, who are very experienced, and especially to the Nepali driver who drove us to Muktinath.Posted on Sanjay ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The trip was excellently organised at minimum cost. The hotels were very good. Overall it was an excellent trip with excellent arrangements by divine kailash.Posted on Bala chandarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HI, We, a family of 5, (4 Senior citizens,) booked a tour from chennai to gorakpur,mukthinath, pasupathinath,pokhra, kathmandu, janakpur,gorakhpur, ayodhya, naimisharanya. The entire tour was tailormade and organised by Divine Kailash. Mr. Akshay from Bangalore office chalked out our itinary as per our demands. He is a very cordial, helpful person. Till we returned back to chennai, he was constantly enquiring about our well being and catering to our every requests. We are grateful to him for his support throughout. REG. our trip: From Gorakhpur they booked an Innova for us. The driver Mr.Manish was a superb , dynamic and skilled person. Mr.Manish guided us in such a way, to cover all the places in our package. Had a leisurely darshan in all the temples.The hotels booked for us were very clean and classy. Our Package included Breakfast and dinner which were served on time and service wise and quality wise was very delicious. .Ours was a 12day tour and a a very memorable one. Gorakhpur - Gorakhnath Temple - Gorakhpur to Lumbini - by Road - covered Lumbini, Buddhas Birthplace, Monastries of varoius countries Lumbini to Bhairahawa - visited Gajendra Moksha sthala Bhairahawa to Pokhra - by road and stay in Pokhra Pokhra to Jomsom - by flight Jomsom to Mukthinath - by Jeep till mukthinath Base and then we trekked to the temple,. We took almost 1 hour as we took rest in between. As it was slightly sunny, we took bath in Icecold 108 springs, and two Kunds and stayed till 4pm. Very very peaceful darshan of Mukthinath. On our return stayed in Jomsom for the night and flew back to Pokhra the next morning Pokhra sight seeing like gupteshwar Mahadev, Davis Falls, Phewa Lake and Taal barahi Temple Pokhra to Kathmandu - by Road - very Scenic route crossing many mountains and rivers below. We skipped Manakamna Devi Temple as there was very very lengthy queues . Instead we covered Chandragiri hills by cable car and enjoyed the view of kathmandu valley, and beautiful snow clad Himalayas. The entrance fee is fair and the place is well maintained. In Kathmandu visited the great Pasupathinath Temple, Guhyeshari Temple - Shakthi Peeth, Jal Narayan, Doleshwar Mahadev one of the Panch Kedar, Bhakthapur Durbar Square fully,, Changu Narayan Temple From Kathmandu to Janakpur by Road again a very scenic route and skillful drive by Mr.Manish, visited Janaki Mata temple- Sita Marhi, Birthplace of Mata Sita devi Janakpur to Gorakhpur to Ayuodhya- visited Ayodhya temple Drive to Naimisharanya stay for night. Naimisharanya temple and Ghats visit and proceded to Lucknow airport to board flight to chennai. Cons: If a guide was provided at Bhakthapur Durbar Square, it would have been better. We suggest Divine Kailash to arrange for dropping and pickup of the tourists nearer to the Temples like many other tourist buses and cabs. Reg. Hotels: Gorakhpur : Hotel 10th Park Street - a very very classy hotel, a very clean and prompt service and great food Bhairahawa: Hotel Redson -- OK but not great -- have to wait for hours to get ur food. Pokhra - Kuti Resort 2. an annexe of Kutti Resort...Food and beverages was served inMain Kuti Resort - for which we had to shuttle everytime which could hav been avoided. Naimisharanya - Viswanath Palace- Which should be avoided and not a worthy place to stay Except for these minor issues, our entire trip was well organised and executed. We thank Mr. Akash, Mr. Manish and Mr. Nitesh of Nepal for making this happen.
