Mount Kailash Inner Kora & Outer Kora Yatra (18 Days)

Overview And Highlights

Mount Kailash, standing at 6,638 meters, is not just a mountain—it is a living deity, the abode of Lord Shiva, and a powerful symbol of liberation and eternal peace. Completing the Outer Kora (Parikrama) around Mount Kailash is believed to wash away a lifetime of sins, while the Inner Kora is a more profound, sacred route reserved for spiritually prepared pilgrims seeking a deeper connection with the divine.

Offered exclusively by Himalayan Pilgrimage Journey, this immersive spiritual tour takes you deep into the heart of the holy sites of Nepal and the Tibetan Plateau, where faith meets raw Himalayan grandeur.

Every year, thousands of pilgrims dream of setting foot near the most mystical mountain in the world—Mount Kailash, a peak untouched by human ascent, yet deeply rooted in the spiritual consciousness of Asia. However, few experience the deeper sanctity of the Inner Kora, a rare route that draws you into the heart of Kailash’s divine energy.

This 18-day Nepal cultural tour and pilgrimage is more than just a journey—it’s a sacred calling. Your yatra starts in Kathmandu, where you'll explore temples like Pashupatinath and Boudhanath, grounding yourself in Nepal’s spiritual heritage. From there, we journey across the Tibetan landscape—visiting Lake Mansarovar, Yam Dwar, Dirapuk, and Zuthulpuk, before continuing into the mysterious Inner Kora, believed to bring ultimate liberation to those who walk its trail with faith and humility.

Led by experienced guides and lamas familiar with both the physical terrain and spiritual significance of the region, Himalayan Pilgrimage Journey ensures your yatra is safe, meaningful, and deeply rewarding. With well-managed acclimatization, comfortable accommodation, and dedicated spiritual support, this yatra is ideal for pilgrims from all walks of life seeking a profound inner transformation.
