Kailash Charan Sparsh Tour Difficulty
Embark on a 5-day journey through the enchanting island of Bali, where vibrant
culture,
Mt Kailash Charan Sparsh Yatra is a physically as well as spiritually challenging task to set one on the journey of this pilgrimage. The level of difficulty also depends on your health, fitness level, and the route. With its high altitude, traveling to Tibet would inevitably result in the concern of potential height sickness. That is why it is extremely important to acclimate, or else you will be sick with altitude sickness. We advise you to drink a lot of water and keep yourself hydrated all throughout the trek. Moreover, if you notice any signal of warning, let the guide know about it and he will fix what needs to be fixed.
In the meantime, the weather is unpredictable here and we might be hit with occasional snow, rain, or strong winds. Then, coping with such weather is done by wearing layers of clothing and having the right gear. For others, however, the spiritual benefits outweigh everything else. You have to psychologically prepare your mind and enter the holy place with respect. And you always need to be in touch with a medical person).
Preparation of Kailash Charan Sparsa walking
It is a simple day walk, thus not requiring any special prepping. Remember this is walking for adventure. At most 7 km of this tour is a rocky and terrible basket trail. Food and drinks should be adequate for the daytime. Wear proper clothing. There is no need to learn using crampons or ice axes. The route is slippery, so be extra careful. Your guide/ helper should be there to show you the way, and also, it is a good idea to hire personal help who will carry your day bag. For that, Porter is available.
At times, local army permission may be necessary. When the path gets totally filled up with snow and there is no safe way through, the local military can close it down depending on the situation at hand.

FAQs
Your Questions, Answered
What papers do I require for a trip to Tibet?
There are several documents you need before traveling. In Tibet, it is no longer possible to travel alone with all international travelers joining pre-arranged and pre-booked tour groups under the guidance of recognized Tibetan tourism agencies. First, you will need a Chinese visa for entry into China so that you can visit Tibet afterwards. However, when applying for a visa at your local Chinese Embassy, it is better not to mention that you will be heading to Tibet as this may complicate the process of obtaining a visa itself. You should have scanned copies of your passport and visa after getting your visa here, which is the first permit that one will need. It takes around 15-20 days for the permit to be processed but during low season of Tibetan tourism it could take even less time.
How can I travel to Tibet?
As a consequence, the only way one can enter Tibet is by means of these two countries’ several entry points. If you go to Tibet from mainland China, you will need to apply for a Chinese visa well in advance in your home country. Direct flights are available from major cities of mainland China such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Kunming etcetera. Travelers may take a train from Xining town or other major cities like Beijing, Chengdu, Xi’an, and Shanghai to reach Tibet.
Similarly, tourists going through Nepal have to apply for Chinese group visas at the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu even if they have already gotten their Chinese visas. Within about three official working days the group visa will be ready. It takes around an hour and a half to fly directly into Kathmandu and visitors could ascend onto the roof of the world, Lhasa. Lhasa via Everest North Face with a 6-day journey including visiting Everest Base Camp on the north side is another option for reaching Lhasa.
Can I do the Kora if I’m not religious?
Absolutely! Many trekkers join for the Himalayan vistas and cultural depth, though most leave feeling spiritually transformed.
What is the best time to go for a Kailash Charan Sparsh Tour?
The best time for Kailash Charan Sparsh Tour is from May to mid-October, during the summer and monsoon seasons. Favorable weather conditions, moderate temperatures, and the likelihood of snowfall and rainfall being low makes this an ideal time.
What preparations are needed for the Kailash Charan Sparsh Tour?
Since the journey can be challenging given its high altitude nature, you need to be moderately fit physically for this trip. Consider exercising and improving cardiovascular health before going on this journey. Also, choose a reputed travel company like Bold Himalaya for its experienced guides to make it a smooth experience.
Will my guide speak English?
