Whether you’ve been dreaming of circumambulating the holy Mount Kailash or taking a holy dip in the divine waters of Lake Mansarovar, now is the time to fulfill that spiritual wish.


Why Is the Reopening of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in 2025 So Special?

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra was suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by prolonged border closures and geopolitical issues. For five years, Indian pilgrims were unable to undertake this sacred journey to Tibet’s Mount Kailash, revered by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and followers of Bon.

With the reopening in 2025, Indian devotees can once again:

  • Circumambulate (perform Kora) of Mount Kailash, believed to cleanse sins of a lifetime.
  • Take a ritual bath in Lake Mansarovar, one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world.
  • Meditate in the energy of one of the most powerful spiritual destinations on Earth.
