Holy Kailash Tours

Trip Overview The Everest Base Camp trek covers about 130 km round trip, starting with a flight into Lukla and ending at 5,364 meters. Most trekkers need 12 to 14 days, and that includes two acclimatization days built in on purpose, not as a nice-to-have.  At Holy Kailash Tours, we've run this route for years, and the treks that go wrong are almost always the ones that rush the schedule to save two days. Travel Permit Requirements You need two permits, not one. The Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit runs about NPR 3,000 for foreign trekkers, and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entry Permit runs another NPR 2,000.  The old TIMS card is no longer required on this route since the local municipality permit replaced it, but rules do shift, so we always confirm current requirements before a group departs. Solo trekking is no longer allowed on the EBC route. You need to be with a registered guide or an organized group. • Sagarmatha National Park permit: get it in Kat...

  Kailash Overland Tours via Kerung Lake Mansarovar sits about 30 km from Kailash at an altitude of 4,590 m. In Sanskrit, “Manas” means mind, and “Sarovar” means lake, so “lake born of the mind of Brahma.” A ritual bath in its waters is considered spiritually purifying across all four traditions.

Enjoy At Everest Base Camp Here's what's actually happening and how to handle it. What Is Altitude Sickness? When you climb fast, your body doesn't get enough time to adjust to lower oxygen levels. Above 2,500 meters, some people start feeling it. By the time you're at Namche Bazaar (3,440m), it's a real concern. At Gorak Shep (5,164m) , you're operating at roughly half the oxygen available at sea level. The condition is called Acute Mountain Sickness, or AMS. It's not about fitness. Strong, healthy people get it. Some people who look completely unprepared sail through. There's no way to predict who's vulnerable. Symptoms to Watch For...
