 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Trip Organizer as well as coordinator Suman was an excellent person for any communication. The Sherpa & Cooking Staff was Great. They are amazing people to Look after us and provide useful information at all levels from Shopping to Health and Food what should be eating. Also, They Travel with us from Nepal. As we cross the border another amazing soul, we met Diki & Pema. There were with us until return to China Border. How to be fit to complete Parikrama (Kora) of Kailash guidance provided by them is so useful. The Atmosphere were Amazing. Feel like soul home. I want to leave my life there until reach to Lord Shiva Home. The Group was very small as Last minute few has not turn up.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing company with fantastic staff! We organized a private tour to Kailash and Mansarovar with them, and the entire experience was truly wonderful. From the beginning, their team was professional, helpful, and very accommodating. Everything was well planned, and the staff made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. They arranged very good hotels along the way, and the food prepared by their team every day was excellent. The staff always took care of our needs with a positive attitude and made the trip smooth and memorable. We really appreciated their support, kindness, and attention to detail. I would definitely choose this company again for future trips and highly recommend them to anyone planning a Kailash and Mansarovar tour.

 Verified An Unforgettable Kailash Journey with Kailash Vision Treks We had an absolutely wonderful and memorable experience with Kailash Vision Treks for our sacred Mount Kailash journey. From the very beginning until the completion of the Yatra, everything was organised extremely well, and the entire team was professional, caring and supportive. A very special thanks to Suman, who was always available to answer our questions and help us, no matter what time of the day. His responsiveness, patience and constant support gave us a lot of confidence throughout the entire journey. I would also especially like to thank our Tibetan tour guide, Ngima, who looked after me incredibly well throughout the trip. His care, kindness and attentiveness meant so much to me, particularly during the more challenging parts of the journey. I genuinely felt very well looked after and supported. Another huge appreciation goes to the wonderful cooks and support team. Considering the remote locations and difficult conditions of the Kailash journey, the food they provided was absolutely amazing — fresh, delicious and comforting. We were genuinely surprised by how tasty the meals were every day. Their hard work behind the scenes made our journey so much more comfortable. Kailash is not an ordinary holiday; it is a physically challenging, deeply spiritual and emotional pilgrimage. The entire team understood this and supported us with patience, compassion and genuine care. The arrangements, transportation, accommodation, food, guidance and overall coordination were handled extremely well. Reaching Mount Kailash and completing this sacred journey was a dream come true and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Kailash Vision Treks, Suman, Ngima, the cooks and the entire support team played a very important role in making that possible. I am deeply grateful to everyone who looked after us throughout this incredible journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kailash Vision Treks to anyone planning the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Thank you for helping make our Kailash journey a beautiful and unforgettable memory that we will cherish forever. 🙏🕉️ Har Har Mahadev! 🙏🔱

 Verified Best of the best tour is Kailash Vision Treks Our journey to Mount Kailash with Kailash Vision Treks was truly unforgettable. What started as a spontaneous booking turned into one of the most meaningful experiences of my life—and I am so grateful I chose this team. From the very beginning, Sagar was incredible. He answered every one of my calls, no matter what time of day, and made sure we always felt supported and reassured. Raju showed us the very best of the Kailash experience, taking care of every detail and making the journey feel effortless. Vishnu and Amrit deserve a special mention for keeping us so well fed with delicious Indian vegetarian food—breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day! ❤️ And then there was Tinley, our wonderful Tibet guide. During the Parikrama, I lost my phone on the mountain. Tinley went up and down the mountain searching for it until he found it. That moment said everything about the kind of people they are—they genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. Throughout the entire journey, we were treated like royalty. Our comfort, safety and happiness always felt like their number one priority. The Kailash journey is challenging, spiritual and incredibly special. Having the right people beside you makes all the difference. Kailash Vision Treks gave us much more than a trek—they gave us care, kindness, unforgettable memories and an experience I will carry in my heart forever. 🙏🏻🕉️ Thank you, Sagar, Raju, Vishnu, Amrit, Tinley and the entire Kailash Vision Treks team. I could not have asked for a better journey to Kailash. ❤️🙏🏻 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

 Verified Kailash Yatra A heartfelt thank you to Ngima Sherpa and Gombo for their incredible support, care and guidance throughout the journey. Their dedication, patience and encouragement made such a challenging pilgrimage feel safer and more manageable. They were always there when i needed them, and their kindness will remain a very special part of my Kailash experience. The journey was challenging at times, both physically and emotionally, but with the support of such wonderful people and the blessings of Mahadev, I was able to complete this sacred Yatra. I am returning with a heart full of gratitude, beautiful memories and a deeper sense of faith. Thank you, Ngima Sherpa and Gombo, for being such an important part of this unforgettable journey. Har Har Mahadev! 🕉️🙏🏻🌹

 Verified Once in a life time experience at Mt. Kailash. I went on a tour to Lake Mansarovar and Mount Kailash with Kailash Vision Treks in July’26. It was an experience of a kind which I will remember for the rest of my life. The entire team was professional, responsive and respectful of our choices. Ngima Sherpa headed the tour with other members like Shambo, Buddha and few others. In spite of that fact that this was a spiritual journey, they tried their very best to make this journey fun and comfortable to the best of their abilities. They paid attention to each individual’s personal needs. Medicine was always handy and special meal requested were fulfilled. I could not have completed the Parikrama around Mount Kailash without the Almighty’s blessings and the support of this group and my fellow travelers. This all went beyond my expectations. I urge everyone to reach out to this tour group for an amazing lifetime experience. You will not be disappointed!!

 Verified Best Spiritual Experience with peace of mind We had such a great experience with Kailash vision treks. Before hand we got all the information and hotel bookings. Suman Ji and his team has arranged everything very well. During our tour guide Ngima and Gonpo provided all kind of support to our 26 members group during 13 days parikrama. Kitchen team (Purna, Buddha, Lhakpa, Pasang & Jagat) also helped us each and every moment during 14 days sacred Kailash Parikrama. Satvik Bhojan, Care, proper information and family atmosphere helped us to complete 3 days parikrama. We are fully recommended Kailash Vision Treks for your Kailash Parikrama. Har Har Mahadev.

 Verified Excellent service and food. We went to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra with Kailash Vision Treks on July 24, 2026 along with 26 participants from around the world. The service provided from day one to the end of the trip was excellent by Kailash Vision Treks and it exceeded our expectations. Our guide Mr. Nima Sherpa was exceptional, very informative, down to earth and helpful. The food provided throughout the journey was excellent (They even prepared us Pizza and Momo too). The kitchen staffs and other supporting staffs were excellent. Accommodation arrangements were excellent. The transportation arrangement was excellent too. The staffs even took care of all guests holy water collected from Mansarovar Lake and safely kept and transported back to Nepal and gave back to guests. It was a life changing spiritual experience with exceptional service provided by Kailash Vision Treks. We would like to recommend Kailash Vision Treks to all the people who wish to go for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. As per our experience with them, they will perfectly plan your trip and they have the experienced guide and kitchen and supporting staffs to make your trip exceptional.

 Verified Outstanding Mount Kailash Experience Our Mount Kailash trip was managed exceptionally well from start to finish. Every logistical detail — permits, accommodation, and food — was handled smoothly, letting us focus entirely on the journey itself without any worries. Special thanks to the management team, Suman and Sandesh, for their excellent coordination and support throughout. Our cooks, Vishnu and Amrit, kept us well fed with great food even in remote, challenging conditions. Our guides — Raju and the team from the Nepal side, and Tilray from the Chinese side — truly went above and beyond their duties to make sure everything ran without a hitch. They were flexible, attentive, and always worked to ensure the best possible outcome for us. This was a wonderfully organized, well-supported trip, and I’d highly recommend this company to anyone planning a Kailash journey.
