Tibet: The Roof of the World

Tibet, often called the "Roof of the World", is located in the heart of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on the southwestern border of China. It shares its borders with the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, and Xinjiang, and to the south it borders with India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Myanmar, while Kashmir lies to the west. As the highest region on Earth, Tibet lies at an average elevation of 4,900 metres (16,000 feet) above sea level, offering breathtaking views and truly unique landscapes.

This majestic land is not only blessed with natural beauty but also rich in cultural heritage. With over fifty peaks higher than 7,000 metres (22,960 ft) and eleven Himalayan peaks higher than 8,000 metres (26,240 ft), Tibet is a dream destination for both adventurers and spiritual seekers. More than two million people call this extraordinary region home, living among vast grasslands, snow-capped mountains, sacred lakes and ancient temples.

Tibet's spiritual identity is deeply rooted in Buddhism, which has shaped the local culture for more than 1,300 years. The Tibetan form of Buddhism – often called Lamaism – is uniquely rich, with its traditions deeply embedded in daily life. Monasteries and temples are scattered across the landscape, containing centuries-old religious art influenced by Indian and Chinese Buddhist styles, forming a distinctive and revered link of oriental Buddhist heritage.

The people of Tibet – including Tibetans, Monpas, Lopas and Tibetan Muslims – preserve their own traditions, from births and marriages to funerals and festivals. These traditions are celebrated throughout the year with lively festivals that shows the joyful spirit and deep spirituality of the Tibetan lifestyle.

A trip to Tibet is more than just a travel experience - it's an exploration of timeless landscapes, sacred traditions and profound peace. Join us as we explore this land of mountains, monks, mystery and endless adventure.

Trip Summary: Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar Pilgrimage Tour

Mount Kailash Yatra is one of the most sacred and spiritually enriching journeys to the far western region of Tibet. Revered by Hindus as the divine abode of Lord Shiva and regarded by both Hindu and Buddhist traditions as the spiritual centre of the universe, Mount Kailash is a powerful symbol of faith, purity and transcendence.

Mount Kailash, located at an altitude of 6,638 metres (21,778 ft), is not open for climbing due to its religious significance. Instead, pilgrims and visitors undertake a sacred circumambulation (Pradakshina) – known as kora or parikrama – which is a 52-kilometre walk around the mountain. Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bonpos believe that completing this journey purifies sins and brings one closer to spiritual liberation.

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva resides on Mount Kailash, where he indulges in deep meditation, divine union with Goddess Parvati, and spiritual practice. This legend attracts countless devotees and seekers from all over the world who come to experience the divine energy of this sacred mountain. For Buddhists, Mount Kailash is believed to be the home of Demchok (Chakrasamvara), a symbol of supreme bliss, and is considered a powerful site for attaining enlightenment. It is said that Lord Buddha himself visited this place in the 5th century BC.

The trip also includes a visit to the mystical Mansarovar Lake, one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world, regarded as a source of purity and spiritual clarity. The Sanskrit word manas means mind or consciousness, and sarovara means sacred lake – together they signify the "lake of knowledge"." Stretching over a circumference of 88 kilometres and with a depth of up to 90 metres, this stunning lake is especially captivating on full-moon nights, when its calm waters reflect an unreal, celestial glow.

Near to Manasarovar is Rakshas Tal or "Ravan Kund" - named after the rakshasa king Ravana of Hindu mythology. Though it is less revered, its dramatic and stark beauty adds to the mystical environment of the area.

Mount Kailash and Manasarovar Yatra is more than a physical journey – it is a path of inner transformation. Whether you are a spiritual pilgrim or a cultural explorer, this once in a lifetime experience offers you a deep connection with nature, ancient traditions, and intense spiritual energies.

Visa Application Requirements personalised

To begin processing your Tibet Travel Permit and Visa approval, we kindly request the following:

• A clear, colour scan of your passport (must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry), and

Health & Altitude Information

Travelling to Tibet and the area around Mount Kailash means travelling to high altitudes, often exceeding 4,000 metres (13,000 ft). While this experience is extremely rewarding, it can also be physically exhausting. We strongly recommend that anyone with heart or lung disease, high blood pressure or blood-related problems should consult a medical professional before booking this trip.

Altitude sickness is not uncommon and can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Symptoms such as mild headache, loss of appetite, nausea or fatigue may occur during the first few days. These are usually temporary and subside on their own as your body adjusts to the altitude.

To help minimise the effects of altitude:

• Stay well hydrated – we recommend drinking around 4 liters of water daily.
• Pace yourself – walk slowly and avoid overexertion.
• Breathe deeply, and take frequent short breaks during walks or hikes.
• Rest well, especially during the first few days.
• We build acclimatisation time into the itinerary to support your health and comfort throughout the journey.

Meal arrangements 

Kathmandu To Kathmandu Full Board basis (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
During your Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, we provide carefully planned vegetarian meals that are both nourishing and suitable for high-altitude travel. In Kathmandu, you’ll enjoy a variety of Nepali and international cuisine. During the journey in Tibet, meals are more basic but freshly prepared, focusing on energy-rich and digestible vegetarian food.

If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know in advance—we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.

The Nature of Adventure Travel

At Levinly Travel, We try our best to follow the planned itinerary as much as possible. However, it is important to understand that adventure travel – especially in remote areas such as Tibet – can involve unexpected changes. Weather conditions, road closures, flight delays, or local conditions beyond our control may sometimes necessitate adjustments to the itinerary at short notice.

Our experienced operations managers and dedicated travel leaders will always work proactively to manage any changes smoothly and ensure your experience remains as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Your flexibility, patience, and open-mindedness will go a long way in making the trip enjoyable, even if unexpected events occur.

Please note that all travel times, distances, and activities listed are approximate and may change based on real-time conditions. Approaching the adventure with an adaptable mindset is truly part of the experience.
