Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2026 A Once in a Lifetime Spiritual Journey, Registration Open Now! Click Here
Kailash Mansarovar's trekking tour in the remote Himalayas through Nepal to Tibet is an ultimate pilgrimage and a lifetime spiritual adventure to experience at least once in a lifetime. Kailash Mansarovar yatra by helicopter is an 11-day’ long trip starting from the capital city of Kathmandu in Nepal and taking the pilgrims to Burang region by fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter from Nepalgunj via Simikot and Hilsa. The helicopter trip to Kailash Mansarovar is considered to be one of the quickest routes to visit this holy land. We offer an 11-day helicopter tour to Kailash Mansarovar from Kathmandu, 09 09-day Kailash Mansarovar Helicopter yatra from Lucknow, and Nepalgunj. For the VIP guests, we also have the facilities for providing 03 to 06 days trips to holy Lake Mansarovar and Mt. Kailash, without Kora (Parikrama). While Heli trips are the fastest way to visit Kailash, it is to be considered that this route and all Kailash trekking trips by helicopter are completely dependent on weather conditions, which change very frequently. In order to undertake a trip to Kailash Mansarovar and attempt/complete the 42 km’ long Kora of holy Mount Kailash, one needs to be fit both physically and mentally. A mind with faith in the lord and a body with tolerance ability for tough climatic conditions can perform this challenging trip and bring back home sweet memories and beautiful images of the lord in their heart and eyes. Book your seat today in one of our fixed departure groups or ask our experts to design a private group travel for you.

Hi Vidushi ,
With the grace of the Mahadev , the much awaited Kailash Manasarovar Yatra has finally been fulfilled and i stil can’t believe it !
It was such a wonderful spiritual experience , a soulful journey and divine grace and the forms that the Mahadev revealed from the Kailash is unexplainable. And during this trip was overwhelmed to connect so instantaneously with like minded pure souls .
Thank you for organising a great Yatra , providing us with the best that you could under the limited conditions prevailing there . However there are aspects that you can improve on and I shall email the suggestions directly to you .
Our gratitude to Sangam , Namhla , Jeevan and all your support staff who were extremely helpful and patient with us .
We are rather fortunate that most of us from our group were able go by the schedule as planned . Thank you Max , for organising such a blissful trip. Har Har Mahadev🙏
I recently completed my Kailash Manasarovar Yatra with Max Holidays, and it was a truly life-changing and spiritual experience. The team managed permits, visas, and logistics very smoothly, which made the entire journey stress-free. Our guides and support staff were knowledgeable, caring, and ensured safety and comfort throughout, even during the challenging high-altitude trek.
Accommodation and food in some remote areas were basic, but given the tough terrain, the arrangements were well handled. Long travel days were tiring at times, yet the staff’s constant support and encouragement made the journey easier.
Overall, Max Holidays delivered an excellent experience and created the right balance between spiritual focus and practical arrangements. I would strongly recommend them to anyone planning this sacred pilgrimage.
Note - It's my personnel request, while returning back to Nepalgunj would have been organized with lunch or snacks before leaving to Lucknow. Otherwise you have made a fantastic arrangement.

We did Kailash Yatra through max holidays this July.It was a very divine experience .As the Yatra has begun after a few years it’s difficult for everyone involved ,but sakshi was patient enough to answer our queries .After being on the tour we realised most of the things are difficult to manage in those regions including permits,visas ,food and travel itself .A special mention to our Nepali guide especially Dhan n Narayanji ..u were patient with us all through the journey.We had a lovely Darshan and a great Parikrama .Not thee perfect arrangements by max holidays but now we know better after completing it..it’s not about perfection but the joy of the journey that it was .. one to cherish lifelong .Thank you max holidays.
I had the blessing to undertake the Shri Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2025 with my wife and a close friend through Max Holidays in the month of Shravan. It was a truly spiritual and unforgettable journey.
The arrangements were smooth—travel, accommodation, meals, and safety checks were well managed. Of course, there were some challenges on the way, but we were well informed about them in advance, and they are naturally part of this sacred journey.
A heartfelt thanks to Nimisha and Sakshi from Max Holidays for their wonderful support and constant guidance, which made the experience far more comfortable and memorable.
Overall, it was a life-changing Yatra, and I would strongly recommend Max Holidays to anyone planning this divine pilgrimage.
