This is an attempt to share personal experience by 3 travelers to Mount Kailash to document their experience and also to help future travelers prepare for this life changing experience. The blog is compiled by Satish, Manoj and Monika, 3 very different trekkers with different experience level, one common goal and one journey to share.

Background: Kailash Mansarovar yatra from Kathmandu usually starts in early April till late September. Weather in the mountains are always unsettled but according to the locals, the best time to do it is either in June or in September. The possibility of clear weather is more in September and one gets clear Kailash view during Kora, the only downside is that the nights gets very cold in September.

We did Kora in mid July, it was raining in Kathmandu but onward journey was pleasant. One must always be mindful of waterproofing weather its the luggage or yourself as passing clouds on higher altitude can make you wet in no time, so raincoats should always stay handy. We will discuss kit and preparation in the later sections.
