Highly recommended - Kailash Mansarovar Yatra with Kailash was truly life- changing. Exceptionally well-organized—with compassionate and experienced guides. The spiritual energy of Lake Mansarovar and Mount Kailash was profound- one that has to be realized personally not easy to describe. I am a born again Hindu- with a before and after. Thanks to Kailash journeys - I highly recommend them for their professionalism, attention to detail, and facilitated this sacred yatra at this time in my life.View this Review on TripAdvisor
5 Star · "We (Family of 3) chose Kailash Journeys for our Kailash Mansarovar & Muktinath trip in May. Started initiating discussions with Mr.Kalyan Parajuli at the start of the year and Mr.Kalyan was prompt in answering all the queries. The accommodation provided at Kathmandu & Nepalgunj was good and the representatives of Kailash Journeys at each transit point in Nepal ensured smooth transition to our next destinations. Once we reached Tibet, the sherpas team lead by Mr.Rajkumar and Mr.Lama Babu took complete care of us. Personalized attention was provided to everyone. Without the guidance and help of the hardworking Sherpa team, it would have been difficult for me to complete the 3 day parikrama. On the way back from Tibet, the management team ensured that we complete our trip and reach Kathmandu on schedule....Overall it was a very well organized trip by Kailash Journeys. Recommended.

5 Star · My first darshan of Mount Kailas with "Kailash Journey Private Limited" - It was last year November when I decided to visit abode of Lord Shiva - Mount Kailash. I searched a lot on the internet to find out a good travel agent who can be reliable for this journey. I was so glad that I found Kailash Journey Private Limited. The team was very helpful throughout the journey. I would like to appreciate the entire Kailas crew who were very supportive and helpful. I would like to take this moment to give my special thanks to Mr. Laxman who work as porter in this organization. Though, every journey is a blessing from Lord Shiva, however, my journey to Mount Kailas and Lake Mansarovar wouldn't have possible without support from Laxman. The kailas Journey's crew that I met in Hilsa, were the most finest people I have ever met in my life. I would like to thank Mr. Lama Babu who shared his power bank with me, Mr. Kalyan Purajali and Sumanth who arranged all the logistics. All in all, these people made my journey a memorable one.

5 Star · "Very well conducted yatra by team of Kailash Journeys. Personal touch at each and every moment. in fact team was helping other groups." Review on TripAdvisor
5 Star · This trip beyond exceeded my expectations! The all staff of Kailash Journeys (P) Ltd.is very good and specially Laxman who went above with us for entire parikrama. Best part of yatra was on schedule completion without any cut short and with convenience of entire group. Food served to us in entire yatra was really very good. It was fortunate to visit Kailash Yatra this May-June 2016 with a group of sixteen members from different places Uttar Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujrat, USA, Malaysia & Qatar. It was pleasure and satisfying to have a dip in Lake Manasarovar and a close look/darshan of Mount Kailash and by God's grace successfully completed Parikrama. The help and planning of Kailash Journeys (P) Ltd. has been great which made our trip very comfortable. The vehicles used, food served, guidance at every point and the help provided by sherpas has been very good. The document formalities, stay and sherpa service at every point has been exemplary. It really helped in smooth completion of Yatra. Last but not the least, a portion of the success of my yatra is purely because Kailash Journeys made sure this was a memorable experience. When you plan your trip with people who work from their heart, you know you are going to be taken care of. Simply surrender to Shiva and make this happen with the right people… I did!!! Om Namah Shivaya. - Vivek Singh +91-9785299906 - Review on TripAdvisor
