From Delhi

Delhi pilgrims ask

Is there a direct flight from Delhi to Kathmandu?
Yes. Air India, IndiGo, Vistara and Nepal Airlines all operate daily direct flights from Delhi IGI Terminal 3 to Tribhuvan International Kathmandu. Duration: 1 hr 45 min. Round-trip economy fares range ₹15,000–₹30,000 depending on advance booking. Direct routes are non-stop with no layover.
How much does Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2027 cost from Delhi?
Package prices are on request, and 2027 rates will be quoted once the season is confirmed. The package price is the same regardless of departure city. On top of the package, add the Delhi-Kathmandu round-trip flight (₹15,000-30,000) and personal expenses. Kailash yatras are on hold at present after the August 2026 Rasuwa floods.
Can I book Kailash Yatra from Delhi without flying — only overland?
Yes. Take a Volvo or VandeBharat to Lucknow/Gorakhpur, then continue overland via Sunauli/Bhairahawa border to Kathmandu (24-30 hours total). Most economical for Punjab/Haryana/UP-Delhi groups travelling together. We coordinate Sunauli pickup and arrange Kathmandu transfer once you reach Nepal soil.
How early should Delhi pilgrims plan for Saga Dawa?
Saga Dawa usually falls in May–June and is the peak demand window; exact 2027 dates are published once confirmed. Helicopter Yatra slots typically fill 12+ weeks ahead, overland packages around 8 weeks ahead. Kailash yatras are on hold at present, so the best step now is to join our 2027 priority list — we contact listed pilgrims first once departures are confirmed.
Do I need a passport, or is Voter ID enough for Indian pilgrims from Delhi?
Voter ID is enough to enter Nepal, but not for Tibet. On the overland route from Nepal every pilgrim travels on a Chinese group visa issued in Kathmandu, which needs a valid passport (any existing Chinese visa in the passport is cancelled). The Tibet Travel Permit can only be obtained by a registered agency such as ours. Pilgrims over 70 are not permitted on Kailash under Chinese authority rules.
Where in Delhi do you do pre-yatra briefings?
We don't have a physical office in Delhi — all coordination is via WhatsApp, email, and video call with our Kathmandu team. For groups of 10+ pilgrims booking together, we can arrange a Zoom briefing call in Hindi with the lead guide 2 weeks before departure to walk through packing, documents, and altitude prep.
