Kailash Mansarovar Yatra FAQs

The pilgrims on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra will be accompanied by a professionally trained team of Trip To Temples consisting of a Tibetan Guide, a Nepalese guide, and a Tour manager from our registered office in India.

An India-based tour manager coordinates with on-ground staffs/deployed guides throughout the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra who are present all across the pilgrimage route for yatri's additional support, especially in helicopter route.

However, communication with the Tibetan guide is mostly done via the Nepali guide and the tour manager and not directly. They act as a translator between Tibetan guides and pilgrims who help in communication when needed.
