Experience of a lifetime An unforgettable and truly divine Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 🙏 I had the privilege of completing the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in August 2026 with Dineshji and his dedicated team, along with a group of 29 fellow travelers now Family members. From the beginning of the journey until our safe return, the entire team was supportive, well-organized, and caring. The arrangements throughout the yatra were handled responsibly, and the team was always there to guide and assist us whenever needed. Travelling to such a sacred and challenging destination is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and having a dependable team makes the journey even more meaningful. We completed our yatra safely and happily, and I am grateful for the wonderful memories we have brought back with us. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their efforts, care, and support throughout our Kailash Mansarovar Divine Yatra. 🙏 Highly recommended for anyone planning this spiritual journey. ॐ नमः शिवाय 🙏🔱

A sacred journey to Kailash with Nature Explorer Trek Our journey to Kailash was not just a trek or a trip; it was a deeply spiritual and holy experience, and I am truly grateful to Nature Explorer Trek for making this sacred journey so memorable and comfortable. From the very beginning of the journey until the very end, the entire team was extremely supportive and helpful. A Kailash pilgrimage is not an ordinary journey—it comes with physical challenges, difficult terrain, changing weather conditions, long travel hours, and many unexpected situations. Throughout all of this, the team was there to guide, assist, and encourage us whenever needed. What impressed me the most was the way they took care of each and every aspect of the journey. Whether it was travel arrangements, accommodation, meals ( pure vegetarian), coordination, guidance, or helping us whenever we faced any difficulty, the team was always approachable

Amazing Kailash Yatra Exceptional Team – They Truly Care About Their Guests We had an incredible and unforgettable experience with the Nature Explorer Trek team in Kathmandu during our Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Our group consisted of 29 people, and throughout the journey the entire team, led by Dineshji and Deepakji, looked after us exceptionally well. At one stage, we faced an extremely difficult and potentially life-threatening situation while crossing the border. It was during moments like this that we really saw the quality of the Nature Explorer team. They remained calm, supportive and completely focused on the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our group. Even during some very challenging days, their staff were always smiling and ready to help. The food was excellent, the care was exceptional, and there was a genuine sense that they were looking after us as people, not simply as customers. What impressed us even more was how they supported us when our original return journey was disrupted due to the road and border situation. Instead of leaving us to work things out ourselves, Dineshji and his team worked continuously to find an alternative way to get our entire group home. They reorganised our return journey via Lhasa and arranged the necessary travel so that we could get back to Kathmandu and connect with our international flights. Managing alternative arrangements for a group of 29 people in such difficult circumstances was not easy, but they stayed with us and supported us throughout. For me, this is what separates a good tour company from an exceptional one. Everything can go well when conditions are normal; you really discover the quality of a team when something unexpected happens.A huge thank you to Dineshji, Deepakji and the entire Nature Explorer Trek team for your care, commitment and hospitality. You made a very challenging situation manageable and helped make our Kailash Mansarovar journey an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend Nature Explorer Trek to anyone considering this journey. With them, you don’t feel like just another customer you genuinely feel that you are being looked after like family. 🙏 Thank you to the entire team.🙏

Kailash Trek I travelled with a group of my friends for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. It was an excellent time throughout, with very helpful guidance and support all along the way. All accommodation and treatment was very good, and we were well looked after Provided food, accomodation, and travel guidance was all good and accurate. Even if you not feeling well or don’t feel like to eat the sherpas make sure you are looked after. Amazing experiences all the way through. Highly recommended. The trek is very challenging, and it would not be possible without the amazing support provided. Even during unexpected events such as the floods in Nepal, Dineshji made sure we were all safe and we reached our homes safely.

Outstanding Mount Kailash Pilgrimage Experience with 29 Amazing Travellers (Friends Who Became Family) ★★★★★ Outstanding Mount Kailash Pilgrimage Experience with 29 Amazing Travellers (Friends Who Became Family) I recently completed the Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra with Nature Explore Trek, and I could not be happier with the experience. From the initial planning stages through to the completion of the sacred Kailash Parikrama, the entire journey was professionally organised and exceptionally well managed. Travelling with a group of 29 people was one of the highlights of the trip. We started as strangers, but over the course of the journey, we became a family. The friendships, support, laughter, and shared experiences created memories that will stay with me forever. The team demonstrated outstanding care, especially during the challenging high-altitude sections of the pilgrimage. They were always available to provide guidance, encouragement, and assistance whenever needed. Their experience, professionalism, and commitment to the safety and well-being of every pilgrim gave us great confidence throughout the journey. Accommodation, transportation, meals, and overall logistics were handled smoothly, allowing us to focus on the spiritual significance of the pilgrimage rather than worrying about travel arrangements. The acclimatization schedule was thoughtfully planned and helped prepare us for the challenges of high altitude. What stood out most was the genuine kindness and dedication of the guides and support staff. They treated every traveler like family and went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable, supported, and included throughout the journey. I was particularly impressed by how professionally the team handled unexpected challenges. During the Nepal flooding events that affected travel plans, the Nature Explore Trek team acted quickly and efficiently to reroute our return journey, ensuring that we arrived home on time with minimal disruption. They kept us informed throughout the process and managed a difficult situation with remarkable professionalism. Additionally, when one of our fellow group members experienced a medical emergency, the team responded promptly and compassionately. They coordinated the necessary assistance, closely monitored the situation, and provided regular updates to the group. Their calm approach and genuine concern for the individual's well being gave everyone peace of mind during a stressful time. Mount Kailash is far more than just a trekking destination. It is a life-changing spiritual journey filled with challenges, self-discovery, and blessings. I am deeply grateful to the entire Nature Explore Trek team for helping make this pilgrimage such a memorable, meaningful, and spiritually fulfilling experience. I highly, highly recommend this company to anyone considering the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra or any trekking adventure in Nepal. If Lord Shiva blesses me with another opportunity to undertake a spiritual journey in the Himalayas, I would happily travel with Nature Explore Trek again and again. They will certainly be my first choice for future trips, including the Everest Base Camp trek. Om Namah Shivaya 🙏 Highly recommended without hesitation.

Excellent! Me and my wife joined a group of 27 other friends from Australia for the much awaited Kailash Manasarovar trip through Nature Explore Trek that was led by Dinesh Ji and his team of Sherpas. Their planing and execution was impeccable. Every detail from day 1 to 15 was accounted for. Their diligence, patience and perseverance was simply extraordinary! Kailash trek is challenging for many. This would not have been possible without the support of the team that looked after us. They not only motivated us, but kept the spirit alive day in and day out. The choice of hotels, food, comfort was never compromised. They diligently checked our health, oxygen safe and advised us promptly. They were quick to identify medical deterioration in one of us and ensured they got timely medical assistance. I would highly recommend Nature Explore Trek! Kudos to Dinesh, Deepak, Chabbin, Kedar, Mohan, Tej and many other Sherpa brothers for the amazing work they do!!

Memorable Kailash Yatra An excellent experience with an amazing Sherpa team during our Kailash Yatra. Ramchandra, Deepak, Mr Bean (Chabin), Kedar, Gopal, Mohan, Ramesh, and the entire Sherpa team took exceptional care of us throughout the journey. They were hardworking, cheerful, and always there with a smile and a helping hand. The food served throughout the trip was absolutely delicious, and the Sherpas always made sure we ate well. Even when we didn’t feel like eating, they would lovingly insist and make sure we had something to eat. Their care and encouragement made them the true supporters of our Kailash Yatra. A special mention to Dineshji, our guide, who was calm, friendly, patient, and always happy to answer our questions. The Nepal China disaster occurred while we were on this trip and he ensured appropriate arrangements were made for our safe return. Thank you all for making this journey so memorable. Truly an outstanding team! 🙏

Kailash Mansarovar 20Aug-4Sep 2026 We had great experience from the day we started discussing the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Post booking we were supported for preparing our selves physically and mentally. Our arrival, accommodation, comfort, support by the team and guidance was very valuable. All Sherpa treated us like their family and looked after us very well. Our smallest need were looked after. We spent very memorable time with all. Our permit, China visa and all transport were well looked after. We were fed fresh vegetarian food every day and with love and smile. The Kailash journey was well supported by my Sherpa- Mr Bean, who was the team member. I would not have been able to do it without his help. Motivating me, walking with me, providing water, oxygen etc was all taken care for so that I could be connected with the environment. Our return journey needed to be adjusted for due to flood and that was well covered as per group request. We had nothing but great positive experiences every single day. With Lord Shiva’s blessing, we were connected with right tour guides who are just amazing! I would go with them without any doubt in future and highly recommend them. Thank you Dineshji, Mr Bean and all Nature Explorers tour team.
