Why Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from Lucknow is best bet for Travelers in 2015?
What happened to Kailash Tour in 2015?
Since 2015 has been a bit of bad luck for Travelers who wants to visit Mt. Kailash Tour due to route closure by Tibetan Authority after earthquake in April 2015. Our tour was supposed to start from end of April 2015 to September 2015. However, all of our departure dates has been postponed from April to June 2015 due to Tibet Permit closure. We understand the pain and frustration this has caused to to travellers who were supposed to travel in April, May, and June 2015. We have received hundreds of inquiries every day regarding next fixed tour date, status update from Tibet and postponement. We are extremely sorry for not having exact answers for our future travelers but we have tried to update as much as possible in our blog.
What’s the current situation of Kailash Tour?
Tibetan Authority has started giving Tibet Permit for Lhasa to Kailash Tour (Fly in Fly out). However, this route is for only foreigners (non-Indian passport holders). But the good news is that there is high chances that they will start giving Tibet Permit for Kailash Tour by Helicopter (Purang entry) from end of June 2015. Therefore, we still have 3 months to conduct Kailash Mansarovar Tour. We will be releasing our new Fixed Departure Dates soon for Helicopter Tour.

What’s up with Overland Tour?
Well, the road condition is still not good due to landslide. Chinese team is helping Nepal to open the road to Kodari border. This is very important route not only for Kailash Overland Tour but also for Trade / importing goods to Nepal. We do not have any exact answer when the road will open and Tibetan authority will start giving Tibet Travel Permit for this route. Therefore, we recommend our Overland tour travelers to go through purang entry which is Helicopter tour (10 Days) or Helicopter Tour (8 Days) – preferred from Lucknow.
Why start from Lucknow?
Travellers best bet for this year 2015 is Helicopter Tour (8 Days) from Lucknow, India if you live in India. Here are few reasons why:
- Reduce Cost: To reduce cost, travelers can opt for Helicopter Tour (8 Days) where you can reach Lucknow by train and drive to Nepalgunj. This will avoid expensive flight cost to Kathmandu. We will arrange vehicle pickup and drop at Lucknow, India.
- Avoid Flight Cancellation Fees: Since you will be travelling by road, in addition to save flight cost, you also avoid hassle of changing flight dates with extra money or pay cancellation fee. Therefore, your dates are more flexible. The domestic flights in Nepal sometimes is not predictable due to rain / weather thus requiring you to stay additional day in Nepal. This causes lot of problem to travelers who has fixed flight dates.
- Short Tour: If you travel through Lucknow, it will take only 7 nights / 8 days compared to overland which is 12 nights / 13 days saving you 5 days worth of travel.
We hope you will consider travelling from Lucknow, India if you reside in India. Otherwise, 10 days Helicopter Tour from Kathmandu is fine. Please contact us if you have any questions at kailashtour@kailashjourneys.com or call directly to our director +977-9851063780 (Rajan Shrestha).

Dear sir, is there a possibility for cost below 1 Lakh even if it takes more number of days. As the cheapest option is closed for 2015, any option nearest to it will help middle class people of India.
It might open in August but not guaranteed. We recommend Helicopter Tour from Lucknow, so that you save flight cost and flexible departure.
