यस यात्राको बारेमा
The adventurer's route to Mt Kailash. Fly to Simikot in remote western Nepal, trek for 6 days through the Humla Karnali gorge into Tibet, then complete the sacred 3-day Kora at the foot of Kailash. Longer, harder and more rewarding than the standard overland route — for pilgrims who want the journey to feel earned.
