Himalayan Ecological Trekking

Kailash Treks/Tours Via Simikot out Zhangmu

  Simikot Kailash Zhangmu Tour /Trek is very sound and the distances traveled are much longer.  we begin our trek from Simikot in Nepal to Mt. Kailash, the holy mountain of Tibet. Our Simikot Kailash Zhangmu Tour begins in Nepal and takes you by foot into Tibet. This tour offers the breathtaking adventure that takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery you will ever see as you trek up on to the Tibetan plateau through the eastern Himalaya. Our trek begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu -Nepaljung - Simikot in the northwestern corner of Nepal. We then walk through forests, valleys, fields and villages to cross the border into Tibet at Sher. Before opening Simikot - Hilsa route travelers used to travel to Mt. Kailash & Lake Manasarovar either from Lhasa or via Zhangmu. The Tour to Mt. Kailash starts from Simikot which is situated at an elevation of 2910 meters and climbs up to Na-Lagna pass (4330 meters) sooner than accomplishment the parched Tibetan Plateau. From Simikot, it takes a 6 day’s journey to reach the Tibetan border, which is plenty of time to be adapted in high altitude.  travelers generally have to fly Simikot via Nepalgunj, the regional hub of Western Nepal. Monsoon rains often make delay the Nepalgunj-Simikot flights and make it difficult to get tickets, so it is always better to book this trip as earlier as possible.
