Professional guide: the professional guide costs USD 50 per day.

Strong porter: per day USD 30

Insurance: you need to have good high-altitude insurance and medical bills incase of an emergency situation. Which cost roughly USD 100-300 it depends on the insurance company and whether you want to include service and facilities.

Trekking Equipment: since you are trekking to the higher region of the mountain, you need warm enough clothes and good-quality boots, which cost about USD 500-1000. But if you already have some gear, then it may not be needed as well.

Tipping culture for guide and porter: at the end of the trek if you are happy with the guide and porter and the service we provide along the trek typing is compulsory and we suggest 10 -20% from total trip payment you paid to travel agencies. You can also make more or less. It’s up to you.

Lukla flight

The adventure of the Everest Three Passes Trek begins with a scenic flight to lukla (2840m) often described as one of the most thrilling mountain flight in the world. The short 30-35 min flight from kathmandu .

Due to the high air traffic volume during peak trekking season (spring and autumn) , the Nepal government decided to operate most of the lukla flights form Ramechhap (Manthali Airport ) which is just 40-45 min drive frm kathmandu and we provide the private transportation to the airport. Small domestic aircraft in Nepal can carryr only 15-17 passenger and lukla airport can only handle a limited number of flight each day .

Because the number of aircraft is limited managing all the flights from kathmandu become difficult. From Ramechhap the flight to lukla takes only about 15-20minutes allowing the planes to operate frequently and reducing the chances of flight delays or cancellations. During the off-season when air traffic is lower direct flight from kathmandu to lukla usually operate , depending on the weather conditions.

What a typical day is like on the Everest Three High Passes Trek

On the Everest Three High Passes Trek , a typical trekking day involves 5 to 8 hours of walking covering around 8 to 15 kilometer depending on the terrain, altitude and the day’s destination. The day usually begins with the early breakfast at the teahouse followded by the gradual walks along the mountain trails which includes the steady uphill climbs, downhill sections, rocky paths and glacial moraines. The pace is slow and steady to help you all with acclimatization especially as the altitude increases.

Lunch is normally taken at a teahouse along the trail after which the trek continues towards the overnight stop. On the high-pass crossing days such as Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La , the walks are longer and more challenging with the steep ascents, cold winds and sometime snow-covered trails. After reaching the lodge in the afternoon, trekkers rests, enjoy a warm meal and spend the evening relaxing and preparing for the next days journey.

 Verified 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

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!!

 Verified 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! 🙏

 Verified 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.
