Mount Kailash lies to the northwest of Nepal, across the Himalaya. To visit Mt. Kailash and perform the circumambulation of the base of the mountain is surely the ultimate pilgrimage for all devout Hindus and Buddhist, as well as many adventurous travellers. For Hindus it is the throne of Shiva, for Buddhists, a gigantic natural Mandala. Also the epicenter of Tantric forces for both religions. This trek takes you from the far western town of Simikot, along an old trade route into Tibet.

An arid, wild, country dominated by the peaks of Api and Saipal Himal, this is the world of the Nepalese and Tibetan traders. On the way you will encounter travelers with horses and yaks laden with goods. After a few days trek on the Nepal side we take you to  the Tibetan border market town of  Purang where Nepalese, Tibetan and Indian traders meet to exchange wares. The highlight of the trip is to visit Rakshastal (Devil Lake), the holy Lake of Manasarovar, "born from the mind of Bramha", trek around the Mt. Kailash and visit the former Gu-ge kingdom with its two main centers of Toling and Tsaparang.
