Kailash Journeys

Reviews

5 star · Dec 8, 2015 · I was in the last batch of the 2015 tour organised by Kailash Journeys (P) Ltd. Our departure date was September 14th. The big problem many of us faced was the uncertainty of the Tibet permit. Time was flying, the date for departure was nearing and there was no news of the permit. I waited with bated breath to book the tickets from Chennai to Kathmandu via Delhi. At last the news of the permit was conveyed to us on September 12th, 2 days before my departure. Now, the certainty of my long awaited journey was before me. The mad frenzy of going to the bank a few times to pay the cash in installments, getting my travel insurance in that short time, making sure I had taken layers of woolen clothes, ticking off the list of medicines and other arrangements for the house, the flight tickets everything had to be taken care off. The head was reeling with do’s and don’ts. As I was travelling alone I was assured that I will have no problem and that I will be taken care off. My husband volunteered to stay back home to take care of the two super senior citizens staying with us. Once I landed in Kathmandu, I was rest assured. I got to meet all my fellow travellers . All of us had the ardent desire to complete this Holiest of Holy yatra successfully. Kailash Journeys did a great job of making us very comfortable. The sherpas were excellent. I would like to mention sherpa Neema and his team, they made sure we did not lift our heavy baggage and other essentials. they took charge of all our needs. Hot tea was served in our rooms and the food was freshly prepared and tasty and served with love and affection. We were a group of 11 people , hence another group was merged with ours. Now we were 24 . From this group only 4 of us were very keen to trek to Dirapuk and have darshan of the North facing Mount Kailash. The day we were about to start the trek from Yamdwar sherpa Neema got a message saying that a group of 10 people from the previous batch have been stranded in Dirapuk due to snow fall. We, the 4 super energetic and eager pilgrims were disappointed and very sad that we are being discouraged to go to Dirapuk. With a very heavy heart we drove back with the group to our camp at Mansarovar and proceeded to reach Kathmandu two days ahead of schedule. I have a suggestion here. Instead of charging Rs.30,000 for the pony ride for all the three days of parikrama of Mount Kailash, they can have an option of the pony ride till Dirapuk and back and charge accordingly. This will be a great success because many people will opt to go and have darshan of the North facing Mount and return instead of doing the complete parikrama. Please give a thought to this idea and do keep me informed about the changes you make. God willing, I would love to have a darshan of the North facing Kailash and get an opportunity to do ” Charan Sparsh” We reached Kathmandu 2 days earlier. I would like to mention here that the staff of Kailash Journeys helped us to advance our air tickets and made sure we reached our destination safely. On the whole this whole yatra was a dream come true. The first glimpse of the Mighty Mount Kailash and the parikrama around the Mansarovar lake and the beautiful view of the Mount from our camp at Mansarovar are all so fresh and vivid in my memory that I will cherish this entire yatra life long. A very BIG Thank You to Kailash Journeys for making this trip so beautiful and so very memorable.

We are writing to tell you again what a pleasure it was being with you and your team. The Sherpas who were with us from your team (Rajkumar, Lamba, Laxman, Bahadur, Bhagman, Sagar) were so accommodating and very helpful. They were awesome. They took good care of each one of us from the batch; provided us with best of services and food at all times. Thank you all for your help. The Tibetan guide and driver for the bus arrangements you made for us were good.

It was truly a trip of a lifetime. Every morning we say we wish we were back in Nepal and Mansarovar with you and your fantastic team. This is the first time we used Kailash Journeys and we were so pleased with it. We recommend you and your company to anyone. Our best to you and we hope to make it back to Nepal and Mansarovar again sometime. Take care and have a great day.

July 25, 2013 – The tour operator is very good. He himself, his father are gentle and sober people. Their behavior and arrangement was not like a businessman, but they had made all the arrangements for all the yatris with lots of care Their stay arrangement at Kathmandu and all other places was very good. They sent 9 persons including nepali guide for a group of 47 yatris which was very good and all the sherpas including cook were very helpful and caring, especially for the senior citizens. The food quality and other supplies like breakfast were very good. The porter which nepali guides provided were also very caring. What I could know from the other yatris (my son who went in 2012) and the internet that we were very lucky that we got good sherpas and good porters. My impression is that without such good people and arrangement, it is not very easy to complete such difficult and tiring yatra. I congratulate Mr Rajan and his father for making our life achievement feasible and comfortable. The amount which the operator is charging is very reasonable as compared to many operators. I would like to go for another yatra in 2014 through Kailash Journeys Pvt Ltd. At the end I can say that the general opinion of most of the fellow yatris was very good about the operator and his arrangements. The only problem was regarding the toilet in the Tibet/China side, which is beyond the control of the operator. We both (Dr A K Tiwari – 66yrs and Dr Mrs R Tiwar-65 yrs) give ashirvad to Mr Rajan, his father and Mr Sagar Acharya (Sales Manager) due to whom at this age, we could conveniently and happily fulfill our life long desire.

5 Star ·  “I have taken 4N / 5D Trip plan from Kailash Journeys. Our guide Mr Laxman was very punctual, coming exactly on mentioned time and has good knowledge about places, drove skillfully well through the narrow hill roads . The trip was planned well. When we requested a change in the trip after reaching kathmandu it was accepted and Mr Rajkumar made the changes accordingly. They provided a car along with driver for sight seeings and pickup and drop at hotel. No need of hiring any other vehicle anywhere else. The trip was made very easy and memorable due to Kailash Journeys… I realised after the trip that the reviews about them are true and recommend Kailash Journeys for people visiting Nepal.”

4 star · September 20, 2014 · We were in Sept. Helicopter group. This arduous journey is not possible without the untiring efforts of your team especially on the Tibet side. The food was good & the team was ever ready to support & help. Hotel at Taklakot could be better, At Darchen lodge, we saw other travel agencies travellers looking at variety of KJ food arrangements & praising it. Request you to make your clients aware in advance about possible delays, weather interruptions, permit related issues & about hotels / lodges so travelers are mentally prepared before leaving for the journey

5 Star · April 02, 2016 · Our experience in Nepal was amazing! Traveling with my 3 young children, I had no idea where to start in our planning and Kailash Journeys took all the work and worry out. From my first email inquiries, Rajiv was quickly responsive and accommodating. Our experience was well planned and exceeded our expectations. We were checked on throughout our trip and any small concerns were immediately fixed. Our hotels, programs, and guides were all fantastic. A special thank you to our driver who navigated some difficult roads very safely. He was very nice to our children and answered all of our questions. I would very highly recommend Kailash journeys!

Dear Rajan,We had great Helicopter Yatra organised very well. Accommodation and toilet facilities have to be improved on China side this has to be taken on priority from Indian govt. & Nepal govt. Otherwise trip was good.
