A Once-in-a-Lifetime Pilgrimage !

I had dreamed of visiting Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar for years, and Haven Holidays made this dream come true. The tour was incredibly well-organized, from the permits to the accommodations. The journey through Tibet was breathtaking, and the spiritual experience of doing the Kora (parikrama) around Mt. Kailash was indescribable. Our guides were knowledgeable, ensuring we understood the significance of each stop along the way. The team handled altitude concerns well, providing proper acclimatization days. If you’re looking for a safe, reliable, and spiritually enriching trip, I highly recommend Haven Holidays!

Incredible Views and Seamless Logistics !

This was an adventure of a lifetime! I was worried about the logistics of traveling overland through Nepal and Tibet, but Haven Holidays took care of everything—permits, transportation, and even altitude adjustments. Our guide was fantastic, sharing both cultural and spiritual insights. The landscapes were out of this world! From the lush valleys of Nepal to the barren, otherworldly beauty of Tibet, every moment was spectacular. Mt. Kailash itself was awe-inspiring, and completing the Kora trek was a deeply rewarding experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an adventure mixed with culture, history, and spirituality.

Highly Professional and Caring Team !

Haven Holidays went above and beyond to make our Mt. Kailash Overland Tour smooth and comfortable. They ensured we had proper acclimatization days, nutritious food, and well-managed transport across the Tibetan plateau. The guides were extremely helpful and knew the terrain well, which made us feel safe despite the high altitude. The Kora was physically challenging but spiritually fulfilling. Seeing Lake Manasarovar and doing the holy dip was an unforgettable moment. A heartfelt thank you to Haven Holidays for their excellent service. I would definitely travel with them again!

A Must-Do for Spiritual Seekers !

I traveled with a group of fellow pilgrims, and the experience was beyond what I had imagined. Haven Holidays handled all the formalities with Tibetan and Nepalese authorities, ensuring a hassle-free journey. The accommodations were comfortable, and our guide provided great insights into Buddhist and Hindu traditions associated with Mt. Kailash. The highlight was undoubtedly walking the three-day Kora trek—tough, but life-changing. If you want an organized, safe, and spiritually uplifting journey to Mt. Kailash, don’t hesitate to book with Haven Holidays.
