Kailash Mansarovar Tour From Lhasa To Lhasa By Flight 8 Days

Overview of the Kailash Mansarovar Tour From Lhasa To Lhasa By Flight 8 Days

This 8-day Lhasa to Lhasa Kailash Mansarovar flight tour is designed to give all the pilgrims and trekkers who desire to perform the most sacred tour in the world in the easiest or fastest way possible, an option in terms of comfort or speed. This is primarily a spiritual tour instead of a tourism tour and consists of cultural programs, Kora (a round of the holy Mount Kailash), a visit to the Holy Lake Mansarovar, and all altitude acclimatization programs.

The tour starts with a visit to Lhasa, the most culturally rich and holy city of Tibet, the ancient monasteries, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, and many other monasteries and sites; they are strategically planned during the first few days of the tour. This practice is adopted to get the body acclimatized to the high altitude, which will ease the journey in the subsequent higher regions, especially in Western Tibet. 

From Lhasa to Ngari, by flying over the holy, vast land, we shorten the tiring hours-long driving over the plateau as much as possible for you to have enough spirit reserved for what you will confront. Once you reach the Ngari prefecture, you will see the world's top freshwater lake on earth, Lake Mansarovar, by which you are said to wash away your past sins and to gain enlightenment.

The next part of the journey will lead you to Darchen at the foot of Mount Kailash, which is a key location for the pilgrimage, namely the Kailash Kora. The Kailash Kora is a 3 day spiritual highlight of the whole trip. You will pass through Derapuk, across the strenuous Dolma La pass, and arrive at Zutulphuk on the last day. All the steps along the Kora mean so much in terms of spirituality: purification, dedication, and self-transcendence.

We try to bring the holy pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar to be a more easily accessible journey and readily achievable in terms of not reducing any spiritual factors by using the flight, acclimatizing carefully, and through the reasonable itinerary control throughout the whole long journey for security, ease, and real significance.

Why Was This 8 Days 7 Nights Kailash Mansarovar From Lhasa Itinerary Designed By Best Tibet Travel Agency ? 

The reason this 8-day 7-night Kailash Mansarovar from Lhasa trip package is designed the way it is by best tibet travel agency Dream Tibet and Travel, is due to one single purpose: proper acclimatization at Lhasa before undertaking Kora (circumambulation) of the Holy Mt. Kailash and proceeding to high altitude regions. Many people are unable to complete Kailash Parikrama, not due to a lack of devotion and strength, but because of poor acclimatization and weakness, resulting in altitude sickness. Upon getting adapted to the altitude, the chances of completing Kailash Kora increase and make it a more peaceful and safe trip.

Proper Acclimatization Before Kailash Kora

• You gain altitude in Lhasa itself (3650m-3800m), so your body gets enough time to acclimatize.
• You have ample opportunities to visit all the famous sights in Lhasa, such as the Potala Palace, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, Jokhang Temple, etc. On these excursions, you learn to walk in controlled breathing and feel comfortable while walking at such a high altitude.
• Once properly acclimatized, the risk of AMS in Kailash (4500m-5600m) is reduced drastically.
• On the basis of progression, stamina builds up, and absorption of oxygen is increased more effectively.

Cultural Familiarization Before Entering Kailash Zone

• Engage in genuine Tibetan Buddhism, monasteries, and rituals in Lhasa
• Provides travelers with mental preparedness to enter the holy Kailash spiritual domain
• Deepens personal relation with Tibetan culture prior to the pilgrimage.

Why This Is Best for Flight Route Travelers

• Suitable for individuals who opt for the Lhasa to Lhasa flight route rather than the extensive road tour.
• Time saving without compromising with acclimatization and safety; this provides comfort, less strenuous and well-arranged for international trekkers.

Lhasa Sightseeing Acclimization Tour With Historical and Cultural Places Visit Before Kailash Mansarovar 

Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street (3650m)

Jokhang temple is one of the holiest shrines of Tibet, which is thought to contain a statue of Lord Buddha, which was brought by the princess Wencheng. Barkhor Street, which circles the Jokhang Temple, is a sacred pilgrimage route where Tibetan devotees perform their kora, the clockwise circumambulation, almost all day.

How this contributes to the acclimatization and the experience:

• A relaxed walk on a relatively flat surface allows the body to adjust to low oxygen levels at ease.
• The slow, continuous circuit walk of Barkhor Street trains a specific rhythm of walking and breathing that resembles the kora of Mt Kailash.
• Observing the crowds and the praying rituals allows pilgrims to develop a calm mental frame at higher altitudes.
• The light exercise ensures that no sudden fatigue, headache, or altitude sickness is induced.
• This ritual of spiritual walking in Tibet familiarizes you with the culture and prepares the mind and body for the holy trekking at Kailash.
• The initial phase of getting used to a low oxygen environment while being engulfed by the spiritual milieu of Tibet.

Potala Palace (3700m)

Potala Palace is one of Tibet's most symbolic buildings and was once the Dalai Lama's winter residence. Standing on the red mountain above Lhasa, this imposing building of 13 floors houses over a thousand rooms, chapels of gods, ancient paintings, and golden stupas. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage and represents the spiritual and political past of Tibet. It is wonderful to contemplate its amazing Tibetan architecture, contemplate views of the Lhasa valley and learn more about the thousands of years of Buddhist religion and Tibetan tradition.

How it will assist acclimatization and experience:

• Climbing the stairs helps in gaining strength in the lungs at high altitude, with gradual stair climbing
• The steps can be broken down into phases to facilitate slow breathing techniques.
• The gradual increase of altitude in the building is similar to the conditions encountered in trekking the Himalayas in the Kailash region.
• This will help in gaining leg strength, balance and will improve the effectiveness of the oxygen with lower pressure.
• It will allow us to observe the body's response to the high altitude in a much more controlled environment.
• The trip here will provide you with a genuine physical challenge before trekking into the wilderness.

Sera Monastery (3700m)

Sera Monastery is one of Tibet's main monasteries and also one of Lhasa's most well-known universities. It was founded in the 15th century, and it is widely known for its daily monk debate sessions where monks, accompanied by lively gestures and claps, exchange animated discussions on various topics of Buddhism. Visitors can admire assemblies, scriptures, paintings and chapels of monks and witness their living tradition of Buddhism, which reveals an everyday life based on religious learning and Tibetan heritage.

Benefit to acclimatisation and experience:

• Low-level activity of wandering within the monastery premises encourages the sustained adoption of oxygen into the body.
• Extended periods of resting in stillness with no activity do not tax the body but promote recovery between low-impact movements.
• The stillness of the environment helps prevent the spike in heart rate from high-altitude exertion.
• Promotes slow breathing, which calms the mind and stabilises the body at high altitudes.
• Allows cultural immersion without taxing physical movement.
• The stage is for gaining stamina and for initial adaptations of the body.

Drepung Monastery (3800m)

Drepung Monastery is the biggest and one of the most important monasteries of Tibet. Established in 1416, it used to accommodate thousands of monks and was home to the Dalai Lamas before the establishment of the Potala Palace. Spreading on a hill slope in the vicinity of Lhasa, the monastery appears like a white mountain village and the visitors can enjoy wonderful views of Lhasa Valley. The visitors get an opportunity to view the spectacular assembly halls, old chapels, scriptures and colleges of monastic life and Tibetan Buddhism.

This helps in acclimatisation and experience as:

• Low-level altitude increases altitude adaptation step by step.
• Walking further for longer distances simulates treks in the Kora of Kailash.
• Up-hill and down-hill walking effectively trains the heart and lungs for the endurance of trekking.
• Walking over natural terrain conditions legs, joints and lungs to trek on uneven Himalayan terrain.
• The body's system begins to learn how to use its limbs, feet and muscles as would be needed on a trek compared to urban walking.
• This will be the last and final step of altitude acclimatisation before flight to the higher altitude and tougher conditions around Kailash.
