This is a fully guided private tour offered for a solo traveler, two people or any number of friends you wish to invite. The dates are set to attend the Saga Dawa in June 2027. Prices stated are estimates and will be confirmed about 10 months prior, based on the number of people in your private group.

Saga Dawa is one of the most significant of all Tibetan festivals, commemorating both the enlightenment and the earthly death of the Shakyamuni Buddha.

Mount Kailash is the most important place to celebrate.

Magnificent temples, flag-draped mountain passes, snow-capped peaks, pilgrim camps, this is truly a journey to stir the senses and nourish the soul. 

The three-day circumambulation (kora) of Buddhism’s most sacred mountain is challenging, but cleanses you of the sins of a lifetime. You may walk at your own pace and our support staff will assist you.

Relax afterwards beside Lake Manasarovar, legendary source of the four great rivers of South Asia. 

Travel to Tibet on this comprehensive pilgrimage, and you will be forever changed.

You must obtain Chinese visas through the Chinese diplomatic mission in your home country and travel with the same passports on which the visas have been issued. Our operations team will get the Tibet Travel Permits delivered to the hotel in Chengdu China. You are required to fly in and out of Lhasa.
