Aum Namah Shivaya!Holy Mt. Kailash is considered as an important pilgrimage destination as well as a
power point where it is possible to gain inspiration and energy to transform oneself
from this physical to a higher spiritual level. The custom of circumambulating mount
Kailash is believed to purify the soul and cultivate in each pilgrim the ability to perceive
the divinity. The experience is elevating and inspiring, and many pilgrims return to
their homes with feelings of exaltation and spiritual inspiration.
Karnali Excursions was one of the first tour agencies in Nepal to offer pilgrimages to
Shree Kailash in 1993, when China opened its doors to tourism. Ever since, we have
been providing a strong, well-organized and spiritually fulfilling experience for those
who join with us for this holy piligrimage of a lifetime.
