How do I register for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2027?

Kailash yatras are on hold after the August 2026 Rasuwa floods, and the Rasuwagadhi–Kerung road crossing is currently closed. We are now taking enquiries and a priority list for 2027. To join the list, send us your name, passport details and preferred route; we will contact you once 2027 dates and rates are confirmed with the Tibet side. When applications open, a passport scan, 4 photos and a 30% deposit are needed at least 6 weeks before departure, as the Chinese Group Visa and Tibet Travel Permit take 4–6 weeks. Permits are never guaranteed.

What documents do I need for Kailash Yatra registration?

All pilgrims, including Indian citizens, need a passport with 6+ months validity — a Voter ID is not accepted for the Chinese Group Visa. Also send 4 passport-size photos with white background and arrange travel insurance covering up to 6,000 m. A medical fitness certificate from an MBBS doctor (dated within 3 months) is required. Any existing Chinese visa in your passport is cancelled when the group visa is issued.

How long does the Tibet permit take for Kailash Yatra?

The Tibet permit and Chinese Group Visa together take 4–6 weeks (21–28 working days) to issue from the date the complete application reaches the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu. We recommend submitting documents at least 6 weeks before departure, and 8 weeks for Saga Dawa departures (usually May–June). Under the 2026 rules (2027 terms will be confirmed later), documents had to reach us at least 30 days before entry into Tibet, and pilgrims had to spend at least 2 nights above 2,800 m before going higher.

Can Indian citizens register for Kailash Yatra with Voter ID?

No. A Voter ID is enough for an Indian citizen to enter Nepal, but not for Tibet. Overland from Nepal every pilgrim travels on a Chinese Group Visa issued in Kathmandu, which requires a valid passport, and the Tibet Travel Permit is obtained only by a registered agency using those passport details.

When should I register for Saga Dawa 2027?

Saga Dawa usually falls in May–June (the 4th Tibetan lunar month); exact 2027 dates will be published once confirmed. Saga Dawa departures have historically booked out 8–10 weeks in advance, so the best step now is to join our 2027 priority list. Helicopter slots tighten earliest because of limited Simikot–Hilsa availability.

What is the booking deposit for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?

A 30% non-refundable deposit confirms your booking and starts the Tibet permit application. The balance is payable in cash on arrival in Kathmandu, or by bank transfer, eSewa, Khalti or international card at least 7 days before departure. Permits are not applied for without the deposit and complete passport scans.

Can I register for Kailash Yatra at the last minute?

No. The Tibet permit process is non-negotiable and takes a minimum of 4 weeks. Pilgrims registering with less than 4 weeks before departure cannot be guaranteed permits. We've turned away pilgrims who tried to book 2 weeks before Saga Dawa — Chinese authorities will not expedite for any operator.

कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्रा दर्ता — २०२७ चेकलिस्ट

By The Kailash Holiday

कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्राका लागि दर्ता प्रस्थानभन्दा कम्तीमा ६–८ हप्ता अघि सुरु गर्नुहोस्, र कागजात तिब्बत प्रवेशभन्दा कम्तीमा ३० दिन अगाडि हामीकहाँ पुग्नुपर्छ (२०२६ नियम; २०२७ का सर्त पछि पुष्टि हुनेछन्)। हरेक यात्रीलाई ६ महिनाभन्दा बढी म्याद भएको पासपोर्ट चाहिन्छ — तिब्बतका लागि निर्वाचन/भोटर परिचयपत्र मान्य छैन। नेपालबाट सडकमार्गमा सबैजना काठमाडौंमा जारी हुने चिनियाँ समूह भिसामा जान्छन्, र पासपोर्टमा भएको पुरानो चिनियाँ भिसा रद्द हुन्छ।

हालको अवस्था: अगस्ट २०२६ को रसुवा बाढीपछि कैलाश यात्रा हाल रोकिएको छ र रसुवागढी–केरुङ सडक नाका हाल बन्द छ। हामी २०२७ को प्राथमिकता सूची बनाउँदैछौं — WhatsApp गर्नुहोस्।
