Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Lucknow by helicopter is one of the best Kailash tour packages you can book in 2026. To those who are willing to start their Kailash pilgrimage from Lucknow, they must reach the pick-up point in Lucknow early morning, from where we will drive for around 4-5 hrs in an AC coach to Nepalgunj. Later, a visit to Mansarovar Lake will take place for the facilitation of pilgrims’ meditation here, and then comes the parikrama of Mansarovar Lake. After completing the holy lake parikrama of about 105 km by bus, several yatris from the group go for trekking or Kailash Parvat parikrama. For this, the group of trekkers will proceed to base camp in Darchen, and the rest will stay in a guest house for 2 days. While performing the parikrama of divine Mount Kailash, which is also said to be a lifetime opportunity for any Shivbhakt, you will be coming across Shivasthal, one of the most sacred places in Tibet, where it’s believed that Lord Shiva resides.
Furthermore, taking less time than a Kailash yatra package by bus, this 9-day helicopter facilitated Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from Lucknow is what you must plan in 2026, for a seamless and spiritually fulfilling Kailash pilgrimage experience.

After a short drive from Lake Mansarovar, you will reach Darchen which is the base for Mount Kailash Parikrama & Ashtapad darshan. We will be visiting Asthapad only if we get permission from Chinese authorities. Overnight stay in the Hotel.
On the first day of the Parikrama of Mount Kailash, wake up early in the morning and drive to Yamdwar. After reaching Yamdwar, start your Parikrama, which is a 10 Km trek. Feel blessed and get enlightened with the darshan of the North Face of Mount Kailash, which is a unique experience and also considered to most auspicious. Those who are not doing Parikrama will travel from Yamdwar to Darchen for approximately. 30 minutes and stay there in Guest House for 2 nights. You can see & pray to Mount Kailash from Darchen. Kailash Parikrama is optional. Few would be doing Parikrama on foot, few by horse & few old age people may not be doing Parikrama. Please note that those who are not taking part in Kailash Parvat Parikrama with their fellow travellers need to stay in Darchen/Purang for 2 days, for which the expenses related to accommodation will be borne by themselves. Meaning, Trip To Temples won't cover the additional cost of the Darchen/Purang stay, hence the traveller needs to pay it upfront to the hotel management. Exceptionally, meals will be arranged by us. People staying at Darchen will join other group members in 1st half once they complete 3rd day of Parikrama.
Begin your second day of Parikrama from Dirapuk to Dolma La Pass and then to Zuthulpuk early in the morning with a covering distance of 22Km trek. Keep in mind this is the most difficult part of the journey throughout the Kailash Yatra as you’ll be trekking up at a height of 18,600ft above sea level. From Dolma, LaPass descends to Gauri Kund and further treks along with the river to Zuthulpuk. Overnight stay – Lodge / Guest House. Also on the 2nd day, the first 6-7Km has a very steep climb & the most difficult part of Yatra (till Dolma La Pass at 5600m). Yatris are advised to take a comfortable time to cover it & take rest wherever you feel a problem. After 1st 6-7 KM, the remaining 16 KMs are comparatively plain / downwards & comfortable. Important: While performing Parikrama on day 2 you will pass through Shivasthal (A sacred place for Tibetans & believe that whatever you offer here, get it in Heaven) & Gauri Kund. After Dolma La Pass it’s a long pleasant trekking way beside the river. You will see the East face of Mount Kailash here.
