May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep 2026
Ex-Lucknow 09 Nights / 10 Days International Tour
Welcome to the Holiest Journey
Embark on one of the most sacred and spiritually enriching journeys in the world – the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra. This pilgrimage takes you to the abode of Lord Shiva, where every step brings you closer to the divine and offers a profound sense of peace and enlightenment.
This 9-night, 10-day journey via the shortest route is a challenging expedition rather than a luxury tour, taking you across some of the world’s highest altitudes, including the Dolma La Pass at 5,630 meters. Pilgrims should be prepared for basic accommodations, simple meals, and shared facilities in Tibet.
Despite the challenges, this yatra promises an unforgettable spiritual experience, breathtaking landscapes, and a journey that will leave a lasting impression on both heart and soul.
