In April 2025, I completed a 16-day Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar tour across the Tibetan plateau with Tibet Vista - a trip that far exceeded expectations and became a spiritual pilgrimage of the heart.
Join this in-depth Mount Kailash tour and experience a spiritual journey like no other in Tibet.
The Tour I Joined: A Truly Spiritual Journey Across Tibet to the Sacred Mount Kailash
The Tibet small group tour that I joined started from Lhasa, with a classic city exploration to the renowned landmarks, including the majestic Potala Palace, the holy Jokhang Temple, and the bustling Barkhor Street. The visit to Sera Monastery and Drepung Monastery brought me to the real life of Tibetan monks.
It was the first time I had seen the Potala Palace.
Then, following the scenic road, the trip headed to Shigatse, the second largest city in Tibet, with a short visit to the turquoise Yamdrok Lake en route.
And next came the major part of this journey. From the windswept vastness of Everest Base Camp to the sacred stillness of Lake Manasarovar and the soul-stirring 52-km Mount Kailash trek, every moment was unforgettable.
The weather was bad upon our arrival at Everest Base Camp, but we were still happy to make the journey there!
Finally, I saw the peak of Mount Everest!
One of the most profound parts of the journey was completing the 4-day Mount Kailash Kora. The high-altitude trek tested both body and spirit, but it was also incredibly rewarding. The camaraderie with fellow pilgrims from different countries, the quiet strength of the local people, and the natural majesty surrounding us made it an experience I will carry for life.
Trekking across the snow-covered Mount Kailash was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
All set for the kora around Mount Kailash!
My Travel Consultant and Our Tour Guide Made the Journey Great!
The logistics were seamless from start to finish, thanks to the outstanding support of Tibet Vista.
A special note of appreciation goes to my travel consultant, Ms. Sal Ling, whose patience and responsiveness during the planning stage gave me great peace of mind. Every query was answered promptly and thoughtfully, and she helped tailor the itinerary to match my pace and personal interests.
On the ground, our guide Mr. Dawa Tenzin was exceptional. His calm leadership, deep knowledge of Tibetan culture and religion, and his ability to foster connection among a diverse group of travelers truly enriched the journey. At every stop, his storytelling brought the sacred landscapes to life, turning each visit into a meaningful encounter rather than just another photo opportunity.
With my tour guide, Dawa Tenzin - an excellent guide and great companion on the journey.

Sharing My Story with Future Tourists: Tibet Vista is Highly Recommended
I’ve documented this once-in-a-lifetime Mount Kailash tour in two personal travel Vlogs on YouTube, made not for commercial purposes but to preserve the memories and hopefully inspire future travelers.
I am not a YouTuber - these videos are purely personal, created to capture the essence of this extraordinary experience. I hope they can provide insight and inspiration to those considering a similar journey.
To anyone dreaming of exploring Tibet: go with an open heart, and choose the right partner. I wholeheartedly recommend Tibet Vista for their reliability, cultural insight, and heartfelt service. This trip has not only broadened my horizons - it’s deepened my spirit.
