Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar are the most sacred and most demanding pilgrimage of all, open only from May to September and entirely above 4,500 metres. Nepal's Pashupatinath and Muktinath are easier to reach and can be visited at any time of year.
Kailash trips run in permitted groups through licensed Tibetan operators, and the permits can be suspended at short notice by the Chinese authorities. We explain the medical requirements and the risks before you book.
