Dzangmu Kailash Trekking Tour

Mt Kailash Trek via Dzangmu can be a bit exhausting yet rewards you with the unforgettable views of the gigantic Himalayan scenery of Tibet and Nepal. Mt. Kailash, located at the elevation of 6714 m is also named as Kang Rinpoche, Tise, and Kailasa. It is regarded as sacred by the Buddhist, the Hindus, Jains, as well as the Bonpos. For the Hindus, the crest is the abode of Lord Shiva; for the Bonpos, Mt Kailash was the sacred nine-story mountain burning from heaven; and for the Buddhists, the peak is a ridge of the vast Mandala of Boddhisatvas as well as Dhyani-Buddhas. Pronounced also Zhangmu instead of Dzangmu. 

From Kathmandu, we will drive all the way through the beautiful scenery of northern Nepal to Kodari which is the border between Nepal and China. We traverse the Friendship Bridge and then drive to Tibet after that to Zhangmu. You will experience the hugeness of the Tibetan highland as we take a trip to the north traversing the Brahmaputra River to Saga. On the way, we will also traverse Dolma La Pass lying at an altitude of 5630 m We will also visit the holy and pristine Manasarovar lake.

Let us know your interest to turn your trip into the most memorable experience of your life.

Since the mega earthquake of 2015 in Nepal, the Kodari border has been closed and opened from Kerung (Gyirung/Kyirong).  So, Kathmandu - Syabrubesi - Kyirong - Mt. Kailash tour route is one of the best options Because it is short version Mt. Kailash tour as well as budget Kailash tour. Of course, the high altitude sickness would be the problem. If you have time then we, Nepal Kailash Trekking Company suggest you Mini Langtang Trek (Gosainkunda Trek) or Tamang Heritage Trek for acclimatized).
