FAQs on Kailash Tour for Canadians

  • 1. How do Canadian visitors apply for a Tibet Travel Permit?

    According to regulations, foreign tourists need a Tibet Travel Permit to travel to Tibet. However, this permit cannot be applied for individually, it must be processed by a licensed travel agency. Simply provide us with scanned copies of your passport and Chinese Visa after booking our tour package, and we will process this permit for you.

  • 2. Is the Mount Kailash Kora suitable for Canadians visiting Tibet for the first time?

    Yes, it is, but acclimatization should be gradual to avoid altitude sickness. Our itineraries typically allow ample time for acclimatization to Tibet's high altitudes. For example, we usually start with a 2-3 day stop in Lhasa, then gradually proceed to higher altitude areas such as Shigatse, Mount Everest, Saga, and Darchen, making short stops in these locations before continuing to Mount Kailash. This minimizes the likelihood of altitude sickness during your trip.

  • 3. How much does a Kailash Mansarovar Yatra cost for a Canadian citizen?

    Travel costs vary depending on group size, duration, and service level. We offer Mount Kailash tours starting from $1400-2400, including tours of 10, 12, 13, 15, and even 17 days. You can contact us for more detailed pricing. Private tours will vary in price depending on specific needs. Package prices typically include accommodation, all transportation within Tibet, necessary permits, guide services, and partial breakfasts. Additional personal expenses such as international airfare to Tibet, shopping, tips for guide and driver, etc., will be charged separately.

  • 4. How should Canadians pack for a Mount Kailash tour?

    The most important preparation for a trip to high-altitude areas is warm clothing. You can dress in layers: wear a breathable, sweat-wicking base layer, add an insulating jacket, and finally a windproof coat. Lightweight hiking shoes are best, as you will be walking for extended periods. The ultraviolet radiation is strong at high altitudes, so remember to bring sun protection products such as sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. You can also bring some commonly used medications, such as cold medicine, headache medicine, and altitude sickness medication, in case.

  • 5. What food is available for Canadians during the Mount Kailash Kora?

    Canadian pilgrims can enjoy a variety of cuisines at local restaurants, including Tibetan specialties, Chinese dishes, and some Western options. Along the kora around Mount Kailash, Tibetan teahouses offer simple but nutritious meals such as Tibetan noodles and fried rice. We recommend that you prepare some high-energy foods like nuts or biscuits before starting your trek, as food options in these remote areas are very limited, and you may not be accustomed to the local cuisine.

  • 6. What is the accommodation like for Canadians on a Mount Kailash tour?

    Canadians can find comfortable 3 or 4-star hotels in major cities like Lhasa and Shigatse. Along the way to Mount Kailash, in towns like Saga and Darchen, accommodation will be slightly more basic but still clean and tidy, offering private rooms with ensuite bathrooms. However, during the 3-day Mount Kailash Kora, you will stay in more basic monastery guesthouses. These guesthouses offer only basic amenities such as beds and blankets, and you will usually share a room with multiple people. There may also be no shower facilities, so be prepared.
