Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Bus

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra By Bus is one of the most traditional ways to reach Mount Kailash and the holy Mansarovar Lake.This route is preferred by devotees who want an immersive journey through the Himalayas.

The bus route covers different terrains, from plains to steep mountain roads. Depending on the schedule, the journey usually takes 13 to 14 days. Pilgrims travel through forests, high passes and river valleys before reaching Tibet. Important points on the way include altitudes of 3,000 to 5,000 metres, with Lake Mansarovar itself located at around 4,590 metres and Mount Kailash rising to 6,638 metres. These heights require proper rest and acclimatization, which are planned into the bus itinerary.

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra By Bus 2026  is often connected to two main routes traditionally used by pilgrims. The Lipulekh Pass route in Uttarakhand is known for its long and challenging trek of nearly 200 km, passing through Gunji, Kalapani, and Nabhidhang before entering Tibet. 

This path is more demanding and suitable for physically fit pilgrims. The second option is the Nathu La Pass route from Sikkim, which is easier because it involves minimal trekking and more bus travel. This route is usually preferred by senior citizens but has limited batches due to weather and border rules.

During the journey, pilgrims perform rituals and parikrama. The Kailash parikrama is about 52 km and usually completed in three days, while the Mansarovar parikrama covers around 90 km. 

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra By Bus is ideal for those who want a slow but a deep experience  allowing them to connect with nature, the Himalayas and the energy of Mount Kailash.


Kailash Mansarovar Yatra By Bus 2026 (13days/14 Days)

बस द्वारा कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्रा एक पारंपरिक और गहन आध्यात्मिक अनुभव है, जो उन भक्तों के लिए आदर्श है जो शास्त्रीय मार्ग से भक्ति का आनंद लेना चाहते हैं। यह यात्रा तीर्थयात्रियों को मनोरम परिदृश्य, उच्च पर्वतीय मार्ग और पवित्र नदियों से होकर ले जाती है, साथ ही हिमालयी संस्कृति का भी अनुभव कराती है। कई दिनों में यात्री पवित्र मानसरोवर झील और कैलाश पर्वत तक पहुँचते हैं और यात्रा के दौरान पूजा-अर्चना, पारिक्रमा और अन्य धार्मिक अनुष्ठान करते हैं। यह यात्रा लंबी और शारीरिक रूप से चुनौतीपूर्ण है, लेकिन प्रकृति, स्थानीय समुदाय और आध्यात्मिक अनुभव के साथ गहरा जुड़ाव प्रदान करती है

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Bus – A Traditional and Spiritual Route

  • कैलाश मानसरोवर यात्रा, जो हिंदू, बौद्ध, जैन और बोन धर्मों के अनुयायियों के लिए अत्यंत पवित्र मानी जाती है, अब बस मार्ग से भी संभव है। यह यात्रा भारत सरकार के विदेश मंत्रालय द्वारा आयोजित की जाती है और दो प्रमुख मार्गों से संचालित होती है:
  • लिपुलेख दर्रा मार्ग (उत्तराखंड): यह मार्ग धारचूला से शुरू होकर गुंजी, कालापानी और नाभीढांग होते हुए लिपुलेख दर्रे के माध्यम से तिब्बत में प्रवेश करता है। यह मार्ग लगभग 200 किलोमीटर की कठिन ट्रेकिंग शामिल करता है, जो शारीरिक रूप से चुनौतीपूर्ण है।
  • नाथू ला दर्रा मार्ग (सिक्किम): यह मार्ग गंगटोक से सड़क मार्ग द्वारा नाथू ला दर्रे तक जाता है, जो बुजुर्ग यात्रियों के लिए अधिक सुविधाजनक है क्योंकि इसमें ट्रेकिंग कम होती है। हालांकि, यह मार्ग सीमित बैचों के लिए उपलब्ध होता है और भौगोलिक संवेदनशीलताओं के कारण इसकी अनुमति सीमित होती है।
  • इन दोनों मार्गों में यात्रियों को उच्च ऊंचाई, कठिन भू-भाग और चरम मौसम की स्थितियों का सामना करना पड़ता है, जिससे यह यात्रा विश्व की सबसे चुनौतीपूर्ण तीर्थयात्राओं में से एक बन जाती है। यात्रा के दौरान, तीर्थयात्री कैलाश पर्वत की परिक्रमा (कोरा) करते हैं, जो लगभग 52 किलोमीटर की होती है और तीन दिनों में पूरी की जाती है। इसके अतिरिक्त, मानसरोवर झील की परिक्रमा भी की जाती है, जो लगभग 90 किलोमीटर की होती है।
  • यह यात्रा न केवल धार्मिक आस्था का प्रतीक है, बल्कि आत्मिक शुद्धि और मोक्ष की प्राप्ति का मार्ग भी मानी जाती है। यात्रा के दौरान, तीर्थयात्रियों को अनुभवी गाइड्स, चिकित्सा सहायता और आवश्यक सुविधाएं प्रदान की जाती हैं, ताकि उनकी यात्रा सुरक्षित और सफल हो सके।
