Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Trip of a life time
Star Star Star Star Star

My group and I did the Mount Kailash Mansarovar yatra tour with Above The Himalaya trekking on July 2023. I have found Above the Himalaya trekking through Google and chose from a few companies.

We were picking up our group from the Kathmandu airport to the hotel. They arrange accommodation and sightseeing in Kathmandu.

The travel and accommodation in Tibet ensured our comfort and safety. Every day, these guys were fantastic and professional. Their guide was very professional and experienced.

He made sure all was in order and ensured our comfort. The Tibet part guide was also very polite and helpful. The challenge of high altitude in the Tibetan mountains was quite challenging.

But these guys ensured that every group member stayed healthy, safe, and energetic.

I recommend the Above The Himalaya team for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra trip. This is your value-for-money travel choice. I am already planning to bring another group with them.
