Explore Lhasa, the city of the Gods in Tibetan, with scents of butter-lamp offerings and juniper incense wafting out of its temples, monasteries, and houses, while visiting some of the most sacred sites in the city.
We make the journey out to west Tibet where, on the full moon, we will start a three day kora around Mount Kailash, believed to be the centre of the universe in Tibetan cosmology. This is an epic pilgrimage journey of a lifetime.
Weather conditions on mountains are never certain. This goes for Mount Kailash as well! We have organised to lead this journey in the summer months of Tibet for this exact reason; in order to eliminate any risk of heavy snowfall and ice, which makes crossing the Drolma-la pass – the highest point of the Kora – risky and dangerous. In the rare case that we should experience heavy snowfall and ice on the pass around the time of our Kora, we will be forced to cancel the circumambulation around the mountain as it will be unsafe. Instead we will visit the Guge Kingdom in west Tibet, which dates back to the 10th century, not far from Mount Kailash.
