Let us take you to the region of holy Mount Kailash and Manasarovar - the navel of the universe and the gateway to the heavenly realms of Bhagavan Shiva Ji and Goddess Parvati. As we know, Kailash region is revered as the most sacred land by Hindus, Buddhists, Bonpos and Jains alike. Even the non-religious people cannot escape its beauty and power. As the source of four major rivers in Asia - the Indus, Brahmaputra, Sutlej and Karnali, it supports and nourishes the civilizations in the continent. Since the early ages, Yogis, and lay devotees have put their faith in this magial place and have received transcendent power and wisdom.
We the founders of the Secret Himalaya are from this region and have the opportunity to be blessed by this land very often but even then, every sight and pilgrimage to this site seems like the first one, the sight of Kailash and lake Manasarovar appears fresh and magical and pristine always.
In the year 2008, we invite all the devotees of the Kailash Ji, Shiv Ji to take a pilgrimage trip and purify the souls and mind. We arrange helicopter tours – ideal for the devout pilgrims with less time to take lengthy and tough overland journey through Tibetan plateau, also ideal for the people with age and health conditions.
After arrival in Kathmandu, you will fly to Nepalgunj and then to Simikot. After acclimatization in Simikot for a day, chartered helicopter will pick you up and drop to Hilsa at Nepal/Tibet border. After a short walk, you will meet the Tibetan crew with the land cruisers. From there, you will drive to Purang and then to Holy Manasarovar and Kailash Parbat. After Puja, Manasarovar Snan and Kailash Parikrama, you will be picked up by the helicopter from Hilsa back to Nepalgunj and Kathmandu. For logistical arrangements, the tour booking has to be made at least 3 weeks in advance.
For private groups, trips can be arranged in any date
