A group join tour is gathering travelers with similar Tibet travel plans to form a small group for the trip! You could share the costs of transportation and a tour guide, which is super cost-effective. What’s more, you’ll meet new friends from all over the world and explore Tibet’s beautiful scenery together.

No need to worry if you’re shy—our tour guides will coordinate everything thoughtfully for a fun and lively journey.

• Solo travelers: Don’t want to enjoy the scenery alone? A group tour helps you find travel buddies quickly, which is safe and fun.

• Students/budget travelers: Splitting costs cuts down your travel expenses a lot for great value.

• First-time Tibet visitors: With a professional guide and group mates to look out for each other, you don’t have to stress over travel plans—totally worry-free.

• Small families: Don’t want the high cost of a private tour? A group tour balances experience and budget, and you can have a great time with other travelers.

• Lively travel lovers: Enjoy the fun of group travel and want to gain friendship and more sweet memories on the journey.

This travel style is a great fit for solo travelers who want to explore Tibet without being alone, friends or couples with a limited budget, and small groups who don’t have enough people to form a private tour. Also, if you love meeting new people and sharing travel stories, a group tour share will definitely be your perfect choice! Whoever yearns for the beauty of Tibet is suitable for a group tour share.

Throughout your entire journey, you must carry your original valid passport and the Tibet Travel Permit (which will be uniformly handled by our agency on your behalf) with you at all times.

As Mount Kailash is situated in the remote western part of the Tibet Autonomous Region, additional travel documents like the Alien’s Travel Permit and the Military Permit are required for your visit.

We make sure that the Tibet Travel Permit and other permits won’t cause any trouble during the Mount Kailash tour.

Foreign tourists are required to apply for the Tibet Travel Permit in advance. The processing period for this permit is approximately 2 - 3 weeks.

To ensure the smooth processing of permit applications, temple reservations, and hotel bookings, it is recommended that foreign tourists book their travel itineraries at least 45 - 60 days in advance. This helps avoid any impact on travel plans due to full quotas or permit delays.

The prime time for the Mount Kailash Kora is from May to October, yet experiences vary significantly across these months. Choosing the right month is essential for the best experience.

♥ Golden Season: September to October

September to early October is widely recognized as the best window for the Kora. With the rainy season over, the weather turns clear and dry, offering exceptional visibility. You have a very high probability of witnessing the "Golden Peak" at sunrise or the unobstructed full view of Mount Kailash. The autumn colors of the sacred mountain and holy lake are vibrant and magnificent, providing an unparalleled experience for both trekking and photography.

The Mount Kailash Kora is typically a three-day journey.

Day 1: Southwest and West Slope of Mount Kailash, Driapuk Monastery

Day 2: Dromala Pass, Sunrise of Mt.Kailash, Dzultripuk Monastery

Day 3: Dzultripuk Monastery - Manasarovar Lake

On the second day of the Kora, you will reach the highest point of the journey—Dromala Pass(5630m). Here, you could engage in prayer flag ceremonies.

Mount Kailash has a main peak altitude of 6656 meters above sea level. The highest point of the kora trail is the Dolma La Pass, which is about 5630 meters above sea level—this is the most challenging part of the whole kora, so you need to walk slowly here and take breaks when you’re tired.

The starting point of the kora is about 4700 meters above sea level, so altitude acclimatization in advance is super important!

There’s no strict official age limit for the Kailash kora, but it’s a high-altitude trekking activity with certain physical demands, so we have some friendly suggestions: ① For minors: children under 12 are not recommended to take the kora, because their bodies are still developing and it’s hard to adapt to the ultra-high altitude trekking; teenagers aged 12-16 need to be accompanied by their parents/guardians and ensure good physical condition. ② For the elderly: seniors over 65 are not recommended to do the full kora; if you really want to experience it, you can walk a small section of the flat road at the starting point (under the guidance of the guide and with family accompaniment).

No matter how old you are, you need to check your physical condition in advance—if you have high blood pressure, heart disease and other chronic diseases, the kora is not suitable for you!
