Kailash Mansarovar Yatra starts in May & continues till September. May is the first month of Yatra & many people prefer going in 1stmonth. June has traffic because of the summer holidays. April & June months are good but have a huge rush which causes some waiting time & slight compromise in services. These 2 months are most preferable by people. July is the rainy season so a lesser number of people go but the yatra happened smoothly for a few years as there was not much traffic & no waiting. August & September have slightly colder nights but are pleasant for Mount Kailash Parikrama.
