Overview

The Simikot Kailash Lhasa Tour presents an opportunity to discover Tibet’s legendary Mount Kailash and the stunning cerulean quiddity of Lake Mansarovar, passing through exuberant sights of the Humla valley lying in Nepal’s western border. The tour will take you through breathtaking peak areas, passing several villages especially occupied by Thakuri inhabitants. You will get the opportunity to have a closer look at the people’s traditions and cultures as you traverse through the settlements and villages. This allows you insight into the lives of the local people and gives you a boarder range of knowledge about exotic customs and rituals which are fascinating to experience. Walking along jovially with rivers and moving crossways through the Nara Lagna Pass where you can observe the huge Tibetan plateau, presents another fascinating endeavor on the tour. You can enjoy the beguiles of nature and enjoy the terrain’s natural quiddities. Traveling through the lush canopies of the forests and trekking through the verdancy of the land presents you with a relaxing calmness and allows you to indulge yourself in the tranquility of the place. You would be excursing through serene environments and getting a closer look at the day-to-day life of the people who live out their lives in isolated destinations in faraway places.

We will fly from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and then fly to Simikot to begin our Simikot Kailash Lhasa Tour. Simikot is the headquarters of the Humla district. Walking on a fairly flat trail, we will pass through lavish apricot and walnut trees before we reach the Dharapori village. We will also visit opulently ornamented monasteries like Laikyo and Lhundrup Choeling, the Namkha Khyung Dzong Monastery, and the Dhungkar Choezom Monastery on the way before we reach Tumkot. En route to Hilsa, we will also traverse one of the high passes in existence, the Nara La Pass, which lies 4,620m high.

During the Simikot Kailash Lhasa Tour, we will notice the vegetation disappearing and the scenery turning dreary as you continue further along the trekking journey. The land terrain changes from emerald to amethyst. After walking across the border between Nepal and Tibet, we will pass the Rinzin Zangpo Gompa and the Kangje settlement before we get to Lake Mansarovar which is one of the holy lakes in Tibet. Visiting the Chiu Monastery and witnessing the magnificent views of Mt Kailash in the backdrop is just enthralling to look at.

    Gorgeous Views!

    Excellent trekking experience with Escape Himalaya to Kala Patthar! Everything went seamlessly, and my guide ensured we were safe and comfortable at all times, even in the high altitude. Will definitely choose EH again when I am back in Nepal for more hiking! The country is so beautiful and just has so much to offer!

    Amazing Manaslu Circuit with Phurba & Ram

    Just back from a fantastic 2 week trek around the Manaslu Circuit including Larke Pass (5100m). The weather was perfect and the views were outstanding!!

    Our guide Phurba Sherpa was excellent. Super knowledgeable and helpful at all times and always made sure we had a fantastic trip.

    Our porter, Ram Badhadur Magar was also a rockstar. He was super professional and always arrived before us every day. He was also super friendly and helpful too.

    Thanks to Phurba, Ram for always smiling and for a fantastic trip. Would highly recommend them to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal

    Everest base camp trek - Mar-Apr 2024

    My 60 year old pals set out in hope on this adventure. In late March. We had our guide Raj Kumar and two porterd Janak and Ramesh. All three were stars. We changed our schedule - no problem. I would not have made it without Raj. I cannot thank him enough. Janak often took my back pack on steep climbs where I was struggling. This is a truly majestic and spiritual trek and I would encourage using Escape Himalaya and request this team of guide and porters if you want to give yourself the best chance of finishing and making best use of your time.
