In the far western corner of Tibetan Plateau lie two spectacular tourist desnations –Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar.This is a very remote part of Tibet ,  reachable after four days of continuous drive across the vast Tibetan plateau( or after a week of interesting trek from Simikot in western Nepal).At the end of the drive we reach  a  extremely beautiful serene, turquoise  lake with the floating swans and a spectacular mountain.For hindus Mt Kailas is the abode of Shiva .Both Lake Manasarovar and Mt Kailash have relogious significance for Hindus and Buddhists.Four great rivers originate from Lake manasarovar – the Indus , Karnali, Bramhaputra and sutlej.

Mt Kailash  6741 m , is a black mountain with four sheer walls and snow capped top.The 53 km periphery is the trail for circumambulation around this holy mountain and takes 3 days.The Kora or circumambulation starts at Darchen some 30 Km from lake Manasarovar.After the Kora we drive back to Kathmandu or head for Lhasa for the extended Tibet tour.En route we enjoy great view of world's highest mountains, meet the nomad sheep herders  and enjoy  the unique beauty of Tibetan plateau.During our trip we travel on 4WD jeep and our belongings are carried on trucks.We sleep in guest houses whereever possible and in tented  camps at other places .Food is cooked by our camp cook.
