SimiKot Mt. Kailash Lhasa
Tour
PILGRIMAGE TOUR TO TIBET (27 Days)
Total
duration for this trip can be 27 days, depends on walking distance,
weather condition and place to visit. Flight to Simikot or fly back
from Simikot is more weather depended and it is better to use one
way only since you need to follow the same trail on the way back.
Following the Karnali River valley it is one of the nice trail to
follow. Since the road from Tibet is planned to connect with simikot
air port, this trail will not be trekking trail any more in years
to come. High mountain lives, green river valley, sheep and yaks
heard, snow-cap mountains, this is really one of the nice treks
in Nepal.
At least
7 people in one group is better to have. The cost of the trips depend
on the duration and size of group. If you are group of seven and
interested to start or end the trek from or to Simikot the trek
costs almost US $3500.00 per person which includes a Kailash and
Lhasa tour, too including Everest Base Camp trek on the way and
fly back or to Lhasa.
