Client Reviews

Touch Kailash is a team of fantastic professionals, with a personal touch.

I just completed my 18 day trip to Kailash Mansarovar via Lhasa. I had selected 'Touch Kailash Travels' after a through a search of many different travel agencies, and I must say that my choice turned out to be a perfect one. From receiving me at the Kathmandu airport to accommodation and sightseeing in Kathmandu, travel and accommodation in Tibet, taking care of our comfort and safety every single day, these guys were absolutely fantastic and professional. Their sherpa was professional, experienced and mature. He knew every aspect of this journey and made every possible preparation to ensure our comfort. The Tibet guide who joined us in Lhasa was equally good. He made every part of the journey a breeze. He was our knowledge resource about Tibetan people and culture, about Buddhism, he was our language interpreter, our friend and came to our rescue during every difficult situation. The challenge of high altitude in the Tibetan mountains was quite challenging. But these guys made sure that every member in the group stayed healthy, safe and energetic. One needs to understand that the journey to Kailash Mansarovar is not merely about spirituality. It comes with a lot of physical challenges and one needs to be ready for it. There is always a threat of fatigue setting in, low oxygen levels and possibility of altitude sickness that can lead to serious health problems.

However, the people in Touch Kailash did not let us feel any of these threats. Their knowledge, experience and planning were spot-on. Every day came with some foreseen and some unforeseen situations, and they were all dealt with great efficiency. The most remarkable aspect of these guys was that despite the hardships, they kept the smile intact on their faces all the while. This further enhanced the pleasantness of the entire journey. 

Touch Kailash is a team of fantastic professionals, with a personal touch. I highly recommend them for Kailash Mansoravar trip. This is your 'value for money' travel choice. 

I wish them all the very best and many more years of successfully organising the Kailash Mansarovar trip.

Guided and executed through best resources

I am extremely pleased to let all know that our Parikrama of Mt Kailash over a 4 day period, covering outer and part of inner Kora (through Charan Sparsh) during guru Purnima period was very well organized, guided and executed through best resources. The 3 guides from Touch Kailash team (Sujjan, Ashok and Santosh) under the overall guidance of Basu Adhikari simply performed a miracle and worked very hard, providing us all the help, guidance, encouragement and food on a timely manner. Their zeal, enthusiasm and commitment to our successful completion of Parikrama is really commendable. No words of praise or acknowledgement would completely describe their part and role in our pilgrimage’s success.

We were a team of 16 comprising folks from Singapore, India and Canada. Our internal team lead was one Bala from Singapore who planned the schedule and executed it very well, ensuring everyone’s requirements, needs and interests were well taken care of.

On the whole, thanks to His and Divine Mother’s blessings and best wishes, and the great infrastructural support and guidance we had from Team Touch Kailash, our team was both privileged and honoured to have successfully completed the holy Parikrama with relative ease.

Recommendations for Yatra

Trip insurance is important documents. Touch Kailash Travels and tours do not need your insurance policy for permit and visa confirmation. it is only for your secure and immergency. make sure your insurance cover travelling up to 5600 miter altitude and cover Emmergency rescue and Medical bills.  

Oxygen level is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered over the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. Some of symptoms indicate that the body mechanism is readjusting to new environments. The best idea is deliberately slow down all the activities and follows the following rules:

  • Rest.
  • Relax-do not exert, be excited.
  • Reduce talking.
  • Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
  • Keep your load light.
  • Walk for 15 minutes and rest for 5 minutes.
  • Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
  • Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
  • Observe silence with smile.
  • Never go too high and too fast.
  • Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
  • Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favourite music, bhajans, chanting etc.
  • Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
  • Keep your boots/Ked inside tent. Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
  • The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sight seeing together.
  • Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
  • On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable. During winter, heavy warm clothing is a must.

 

  • Kindly consult your doctor and get yourself examined for this yatra
  • As Mount Kailash and lake Manasarovar is situated at high altitudes please start exercises like walking, jogging, yoga and other breathing exercises in order to have a successful yatra at least from a month before.
