The Mount Kailash hike is the most popular hiking route in Tibet, as well as the most dangerous one. The falling stones, extreme weather, high altitude and wild dogs can all be killers on the hiking route. If there isn’t a tour guide who know the area well, the adventure would be even more dangerous.

Tourists could take a plane from Lhasa to Kathmandu or drive to Nepal along the Tibet-Nepal highway. Most tourists choose the latter, because they could stop for sightseeing during the car ride. The most popular tourist attractions along the highway include Potala Palace, Mount Everest Base Camp, Yamdrok Lake and Karola Glacier.

Normally it takes 7 days to finish the car-ride and sightseeing and it would take one more day if you want to visit the Lake Namtso, which is to the north of Lhasa. Tourists will enter Nepal from the Gyirong Port on the 7th or 8th day.
