    Mount Kailash Tour Cost

    Mount Kailash Tour cost is not cheap comparing other tours and trekking. We are trying our best to make it more reasonable by collecting individual peoples and making small groups. There are some nationalities who do not get Tibet / Kailash traveling permit and visa as well as rules from Tibet is not stable. It could change immediately without prior notification. Entire necessary permits and visa procedure is handle by Nepal Highland Treks. It is about a month process this mean we have to apply a month before to TTB for Tibetan travel permit. for this purpose we only need your passport copy. Another three working days are needed in Kathmandu with your original passport to get a final visa from the Chinese Embassy.

      If you are looking to touch with most taking care agency to make your Kailash Tour from Nepal, Choose Nepal Highland Treks and Hemanta the person to takeing care all. Nepal Highland Treks offers reasonably-priced treks to Mt. Kailash through economically-troubled Nepal and politically-troubled Tibet putting not a bit of trouble on you. 
      You just give the manager a copy of your passport and a photo. With airport pickup - Kailash - airport drop all inclusive except for lunch and dinner, you forget how difficult and important a mountain Kailash is. The roads are often rough especially on Nepali side, but the views are gorgeous.
