Mt Kailash Saga Dawa Festival tour 2018
It was our family trip that Alpine Eco Trek was organizing for us. We were a group of 18 members. Mr. Ram, the owner of this company and his team had been the most helpful since we emailed him our request for Mount Kailash tour during Saga Dawa Festival.
We had a short period of time, and Mr. Ram was able to advise a well-planned itinerary that catered to most of our member’s wishes. The trip cost he offered us was very competitive and the services were excellent. We had to wait in Kathmandu for 2 days to apply the Tibet Chinese Visa and permits for the trip. Mr. Ram looked after all the necessary tasks so carefully and everything was on time. After receiving visa we flew into Lhasa from Kathmandu. 3 days and 2 nights in Lhasa for proper acclimatization, during these days we visited Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Bazaar and Norbulingka Palace.
After that, we were on our way out to the sacred destination, western Tibet. There were several days of long but scenic and exciting road trips to finally reach Darchen, the small town where the holy 3 days Kora started. We climbed as high as 5600 m above sea level during the Kora, by God Shiva’s grace all went well and fortunately, no one in our team members had issues with high altitude sickness. Everyone completed the Kora on foot.
We did not use horses or any other means of transportation to complete the Kora. We had a great Tibetan guide, his name is Mr. Dawa, he encouraged us to walk on our own pace and helped a lot, and without him, we could not complete the Kora. Mr. Ram was in touch with us to ensure that our journey was smooth and our hotel and living conditions were great. We also enjoyed the Saga Dawa festival, overall it was a great experience and we had a successful and enjoyable trip. Thank you, Ram Ji, for your precious time and great coordination.
