Why Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Guidelines?

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is the most difficult yatra to organize. There are several factors that makes it tough and only experienced one can organize it in an efficient way based on their past experience. Here are our Top 3 challenges: 1. Tibet - Tibet travel is the most important factor that makes it difficult to organize. Tibet Travel Permit is difficult to get, and moreover, rules and regulation keeps changing from Tibetan Authority. Tibetan government provides special Tibet Permit just for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Therefore, awareness of specific rules and regulation is utmost necessary, so that Yatris do not get stranded at the Tibet Border. Facilities: TIbet is a remote area which lacks good services. Please go through this guidelines to learn more about Tibet. 2. Natural Calamities - Natural disaster can happen at anytime, most importantly, bad weather. This mostly affects Helicopter flights, and may have to cancel flights. Moreover, we can any changes of itinerary for your safety. 3. High Altitude & Trekking - We need to be aware that we are travelling in a high altitude and moreover, trekking will be challenging. If one is aware of above risk factors, and can get guidance, then you can prevent or overcome any difficulties that may happen during the travel. From our past 15 years of experience, we have learned a lot regarding travelling to Kailash Mansarovar. We believe that one need to aware of several factors before travelling to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, so that you can make best decision for yourself and make it a most memorable yatra of your life. Therefore, we are making this complete guidelines to share with you and give awareness of what to expect before making a big decision. We hope that you will find this guideline document helpful.

Health / Fitness / Medical Fitness Certificate

You must be physically fit for Kailash Yatra. We do not need any medical certificate if you are 70 years old or below. However, it is better for everyone to take an advice from your family doctor for traveling in high altitude. Nowadays, there are hospitals available at Tibet if in case of emergency. Please READ, if you are above 70 years old: Yatris should obtain a letter FROM YOUR DOCTOR ADDRESSED AS "WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN This is to confirm the physical fitness of Mr / Mrs... & I have no concern to my clients' participation in the Kailash tour of (date). Oxygen Cylinder We will provide oxygen cylinder or oxygen bottle in case of emergency. Trip Insurance Personal travel insurance is not included in the trip price. It is a condition of booking a trip with Kailash Journeys (P) Ltd., and your own responsibility to ensure that you are adequately insured for the full duration of the trip in respect of illness, injury, emergency coverage, death, loss of baggage and personal items and cancellation and curtailment. Kailash Journeys (P) Ltd. does not arrange any insurance. Please consult your local insurance company. Many health insurance companies does not cover while traveling to high altitude. So make sure you are covered above 4500 meters altitude, since Kailash Mountain base is higher than that. Nowadays, there are hospitals available at Tibet if in case of emergency. You may check with agent such as Trawelltag Assist.
Tibet Travel Permit and Chinese Visa Process

Chinese Visa / Tibet Permit

The Chinese visa is a group Visa paper based. First of all we need your passport copies by email to apply for Tibet Travel Permit (required by Chinese government). We will get Tibet permit around 15 days before your departure date. After that we need your original passport for Group Visa processing:

Indian Nationality: You have to send your original passport to our Delhi agent for Visa processing Non-Indian Nationals: You have to send your COLOR copies of passport by e-mail for Visa processing. You will get group paper visa. After you get group Chinese Visa, we will send your passport back to you Therefore, since it takes time, we suggest our Yatris to book as early as possible, so that your yatra can be begin in your desired departure date.

Passport Information When and Where?

We have many inquiries regarding the Passport, Chinese Visa, & Tibet Permit. Therefore, we want to make it clear that it is our responsibility and you do not need to worry about. Here is the workflow of how we handle:

Step 1. For a Group Tour, we will apply for Tibet Permit for which we will use your passport copies that you have sent us. Please note that Tibet Authority does not gives us fixed date to approve the Permit. However, usually it takes 8 days and not more than 15 days. Step 2. As soon as we get the Tibet Travel Permit approved, we will let you know. For Indian Passport Holder: We will ask you to send your original passport to our Delhi agent with their contact details. Our Delhi agent collects all group's passport and need to apply at once since it is a Group Paper Visa. To get the Group Paper Visa, it usually takes 3 days. For Non-Indian Passport Holder: We will apply for Chinese Visa when you arrive in Kathmandu, Nepal. Step 3. For Indian Passport Holder Only: Once the Visa is approved, we will send you the Passport back to you by Courier. IMPORTANT NOTE: Sometimes we may NOT have enough time since you may have to Fly to Kathmandu or you might plan to fly early. In such case, we will give you passport in Kathmandu, Nepal upon landing. Indian National does not need Passport to come to Kathmandu since you do not need Nepalese Visa. You just need to carry Voter ID Card or any Indian Government issued Identity card. For Foreigners, they can get their Nepali Visa upon arrival at Kathmandu Airport.
I already have Chinese Visa stamped in my passport, do I need Visa again?

If you plan to enter Tibet from Nepal, you must get your Tibet group visa from the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu. Whether you already have a Chinese visa or not, a Tibet group visa is compulsory for all tourists entering Tibet from Nepal.
Tibet Travel Bureau (TTB) & CISPC

We are an authorized agent of China, India Pilgrimage Service Center (CIPSC) CIPSC (China Indian Pilgrims Service Center) has a monopoly over the rights to handle travel arrangements & fix rates for the Indian pilgrims in Tibet side. CIPSC has recently increased rate because of the international petroleum price rises suddenly, US dollar largely depreciation, the cost of domestic labor's goes up, and commodity prices are rising All arrangements within Tibet are solely at the discretion of the China Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB) & for Indian nationals, China India Pilgrim Service Center (CIPSC), both are government organizations, and we have no control over the quality of vehicles or facilities. TTB can deny permit or even stop giving permits from time to time. We have seen this in the past.

Cancellation Policy
It is our most important aim that you enjoy your holiday and that we earn your trust. However, we are not responsible for any cancellation due to any industrial disputes, Technical failure of any type of transport we use, loss of earnings, late arrivals or force majeure, or any items beyond our control. After booking, if you wish to cancel your trip, you must notify Kailash Journeys (P) Ltd. in writing. Once Kailash Journeys (P) Ltd. receives your notice, cancellation will take effect subject to the following: If cancellation takes place in between 90 150 days prior to your departure date, your full payment will be refund except the non-refundable deposit: If cancellation takes place in between 30-90 days prior to departure 75% of your payment will be refund except the non-refundable deposit.

Preparation before Arrival to Kathmandu, Nepal

Money in Kathmandu & Tibet / Personal Expenses
Indian Currency in Nepal The Indian currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 are banned in Nepal. Kindly do not carry Indian Rs. 500 and Indian Rs. 1000 bank notes in Nepal. Its applicable to both Indian and foreign nationals traveling to Nepal. Personal Expenses in Tibet Indian Rupees are not accepted in Tibet. We will exchange the amount to Yuan (Chinese Currency) for you upon your arrival. You must let us know upon Kathmandu arrival on the first day so that we can proceed immediately. It is suggested to carry minimum CNY (Chinese Yuan) 3,000 extra money for any emergency. In Tibet only CNY (Chinese Yuan) is acceptable. You may easily exchange USD or INR to CNY in Kathmandu OR in Kodari (Nepal-Tibet Border). Most of the yatri exchange their money in Nepal-Tibet border. Any unused CNY may be re-exchanged in Kodari or in Kathmandu. Current Exchange Rate As of May 2013 1 USD = 6.16 Yuan (Chinese Currency) = INR 53.8 (Indian Currency) INR 100 = NPR 160 (Nepali Rupee) = 11.4 Yuan (Chinese Currency)

Things to Carry
General Considerations when Packing: Keep the weight and bulk down to a minimum. Baggage allowance on most international flights is 20 Kg's/44 lbs.. Most people tend to bring more clothes than they do actually need. You will only need one change of clothes for Kathmandu. On trek it is important to dress in layers. When it is hot you will only be wearing a base layer, when it gets colder you can add to this until you are wearing most of your clothes! It is advisable to carry your stuff in a duffel bag rather than suitcase or other normal bags. What kind of items to carry while travelling? You have to take warm clothes like sweater, trousers, thermo-coat, cap, trekking shoes, high-neck, gloves. We recommend that you bring the following items to make your journey more comfortable clothing for both extremes of climate and temperature. While driving to Kailash, it will be warm inside the vehicle and light clothing will be required. But as soon as you step out of the vehicle, warm clothing will be required to keep off the cold winds of the Tibetan Plateau. Evening will be generally cold and warm clothing will be required. We recommend that you bring the following clothing and accessories with you: 1. Dawn jacket Available for Rent in Kathmandu. 2. Light tennis shoes and light rubber sandal 3. Warm thick pullover one 4. Warm woolen socks six 5. Warm thin pullover one 6. Light cotton or silk scarf one 7. Warm pants two 8. Large cotton or silk scarf one 9. Light loose cotton pants two 10. Warm gloves 11. Warm windproof jacket one 12. Soft paper tissues and handkerchief plenty 13. Cotton sleeve T-shirts four 14. Monkey cap and sun heat one each 15. Thermal under pants long two 16.

We still recommend you to bring sufficient supplementary food like chocolates, biscuits, nuts, bhujhya and your tinned products to add varieties to the meal.
Asthapad / Nandi Parvat Visit

Asthapad: Is Asthapad included in our Yatra? No for Overland Package. Yes for Helicopter Package. For Asthapad Visit, it is controlled by the Chinese Government and sometimes may not allow to enter due to safety reasons. Therefore, we can not guarantee the Asthapat Visit. You have pay little extra to visit Asthapad, Nandi Parvat which is about INR 1,000 to INR 2,000 only.
Parikrama: Inner & Outer

What is difference between Inner Parikrama & Outer Parikrama? The regular Overland and Helicopter is actually only outer Parikrama which is easy to complete. However, for Inner Parikrama, it takes longer and it is quite challenging. Please make sure you are healthy enough to do the Inner Parikrama. We do not recommend it for anyone above 60 years old unless they are solid health conditions. Please contact us for detail itinerary and departure date for Inner Parikrama. How much do I have to walk during Parikrama? What about Horse?
Page
13

If you cannot or do not want to go for Kailash Parikrama by foot then you can hire a horse and horseman for 3 days by paying extra (around INR 15,000 per person which you have to pay to directly to Chinese Guide. We can not take the Horse Payment as we can not guarantee). This rate may vary during travel time, hence not a fixed rate. Also availability of horse is not guaranteed. Even you do hire a horse, you have to walk at least 2-3 hours
Can I choose not to complete Parikrama? Yes, you can choose not to go for Parikrama at all. Darchen is the base camp. If some of you do not want to go Parikrama then they have to stay at Darchen until everyone returns. We will provide accommodation guest house and foods for those not going for Parikrama. Kailash Journeys (P) Ltds staff will be there preparing accommodation and meals.
Group Size
How many people will be in each group? There will one Sherpa for every 5-6 persons. Our group size is minimum 25 persons. Our maximum size depends, since sometimes many people want to go with popular Swami together, or listen to Bhagwat Katha, do pooja lead by popular Guruji. Can we have our own Departure Date and Group? Yes, you can pick your own departure date if your group has more than 40 persons.
Mobile Phone in Tibet

Mobile Phone: How to keep in touch with our friend & family during the trip? Nepali sim card doesn't work at Tibet side but there will be shops at the phone center on the way to Kailash Yatra. You can take your mobile with you and buy a sim card there to call your family and relatives.
Full Moon Departure

What s special about Full-Moon departure? There are several reasons why yatris choose Full-Moon: Festivals in Tibet happens during Full Moon (especially Saga Dawa Full Moon Festival: the holiest day in Tibetan Buddhism) Full-Moon in Mansarovar: Many Yatris prefer doing puja during the Full Moon (Purnima) Many want to see beautiful view of full moon over Mount Kailash

Prefer doing Kora during Full-moon
Highest Altitude during Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

Our journey will take us from 1300m to 5700meters. The lowest point will be Kathmandu, our starting and ending point at 1300m, and the highest point will be Dolma La Pass, on the second day of our Parikrama around Mt. Kailash, at approximately 5700m height. After our entry into Tibet we will be at 3800m for two days for acclimatization, then climb to 4400m, then 4600 around Lake Manasarovar. On second day of the Parikrama around Kailash we will be at almost 5000m. Around 10 days of our time in Tibet will be at an altitude above 4000m.
Altitude Sickness
As participants are traveling over high terrain, participants are likely to experience symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness (headache, loss of appetite, nausea, exhaustion, sleeplessness, breathlessness etc.) until their body adjusts to the elevation. This can take a couple of days or more depending on an individual. For this reason, we have made it mandatory and fixed itinerary to stay at the place above 9000ft for at least 3 nights before moving on to the higher altitudes.
Drinking Water
Yes, during the entire Yatra we will provide you free supply of Mineral Water. We will carry the 20 liter mineral water jars during the trip.
What kind of food?

We will have Pure Vegetarian food during the entire Yatra and also in Nepal.
Is Internet connection available in Tibet?

Yes! At limited places. Like in Nyalam and Saga it is possible to have internet connection.
Can I book a pony for one day Parikrama only?

No. The rule of the Pony owner and Porter Union there is clear that Pony and/or Porter can be hired for full three days and not partial trip. Also the money has to be paid in advance and no refund is possible if you return back in two days time instead of doing the full three days Parikrama. However, sometimes it is possible to get a pony/porter for just one day during Parikrama; the price will be exorbitant though.
Temperature / Weather
The temperature variation will be between -5 to 25 degrees Celsius. At night it gets chilling cold. During the day, if the Sun is out, it gets around 20 to 25 degrees. During driving days it gets very
15

stuffy inside the vehicle as the windows have to be kept closed due to dust. However outside it may be very cold and windy. So while you are inside vehicle during driving days keep your down jacket handy when you step out of the car. Inside the vehicle you may need to take off your warm clothes.
Dip in the Holy Mansarovar lake

Yes, of course! However, it is advisable to take the cold bath in the lake after the Parikrama is over and we are returning back to Kathmandu.
Collect water from the holy lake

If anybody wishes to collect the water himself/herself, then on our return trip after parikrama when we stop at the holy lake you can do so.
Emergency facilities
Our staff will carry Oxygen Cylinder, Oxygen Cans, extra Diamox tablets, basic medical kit and some medical steroids syringes. Also near Mansarovar Kailash area there is a hospital, some 60 Km away, with medical facility for high altitude problems.
In case of any emergency

Email address of the emergency contact that you have given will be updated of the progress of our yatra. Also each member in the group will be given email address of the travel agent where your family members can convey urgent message.. We will also carry a mobile with China SIM card in Tibet. This number you can convey to your family members and they can call you on that number in emergency.
Puja and havan, fire ceremony

Since the holy Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva, at the North Face of Kailash you can do puja waiving light using the Shiva Shadakshara Mantra, that is the expanded form giving the full meaning and beauty of the six syllable Mantra Om Na-Mah Shi-Va-Ya. We recommend the group members to bring some incense, havan samagri, wood sticks, bilva patra, camphor, gopi chandan, dry fruits ( nuts) for prasad.
Souvenirs from Tibet

Normally during our trip we will meet lot of ladies selling necklace, yak bone items, crystal mala, precious stone items, apart from Buddhist worship items.
After Returning Back to Kathmandu, Nepal

SPECIAL NOTES:
Even though we have a reputation of sending Yatris to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Sometimes, situation may arise due to lack of our control at Tibet Side or Natural Disasters. One need to understand that Tibet is a rural area with very limited facilities. Therefore, you can not expect any luxury services. Moreover, Tibet is an Autonomous Region which requires special travel permit. The Official Rules and Laws at Tibet can change at any time as per our past experiences. Kailash Journeys is always up to date with the information and therefore, we reserves rights to change anything so that we can strictly follow the law. Kailash Journeys (P) Ltd. has the right to change the itinerary in the event of adverse weather condition or any unforeseen reason. The group will be required to follow the itinerary strictly. The entire Group will enter & exit together as per schedule. Therefore, we strongly advise to follow our itinerary and arrive as per the Arrival Date above which will help you to overcome any delays. The Tour Operator or its partners shall not be liable for any such delays which are out of our control. However, Yatris can always postpone their departure date in future date. See our Terms & Conditions for detail.
