A buddhist's pilgrimage to Mount Kailash

As a practicing Buddhist, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a sacred pilgrimage I’ve dreamed of for decades. Sublime Trails, under the compassionate leadership of Ram Khadka, delivered a journey that was not only physically safe but spiritually profound. The team showed deep understanding of the religious practices and accommodated our rituals at each sacred site, including the kora around Mt. Kailash. Their respect for the land, the deities, and the pilgrims was truly humbling. I’m grateful to have walked this path with such a devoted and organized team.

What a surreal journey!!

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra has always been on my bucket list. I joined the tour with Sublime Trails and was absolutely impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. CEO Ram himself checked in with our group before we crossed into Tibet—something I found extremely thoughtful. The guides were knowledgeable, the logistics seamless, and the cultural insights were enriching. As someone who values both comfort and authenticity, this trip was the perfect blend. I’ll definitely be returning for another Himalayan adventure with Sublime Trails!

A Rare Journey Through Living History

As someone who’s spent over two decades studying early human settlements and cultural transitions, Upper Mustang has long been of professional and personal interest. I joined the Jeep tour with Sublime Trails hoping for logistical ease, but what I got was far more: access to one of the last untouched corners of the Himalayas, handled with care and deep respect for the region.

The itinerary was well-planned and allowed enough time to properly explore key historical sites—particularly Lo Manthang and Chhoser. The Jhong Cave system was a standout. Being able to walk through these multi-level cliffside dwellings—believed to be over two millennia old—offered the kind of immersive experience no textbook or paper can replicate.

Our guide had strong local knowledge, and while I naturally asked deeper historical questions, he was open, honest, and engaging throughout. The landscape itself is stark and dramatic, and the villages along the way retain a level of authenticity that’s increasingly rare in Himalayan regions open to tourism.

I appreciated that Sublime Trails didn’t rush the experience. Their team handled permits and logistics smoothly, and accommodations were modest but comfortable—what you’d expect in remote terrain.

Highly recommended for anyone with a background or interest in anthropology, history, or archaeology. Upper Mustang is more than scenic—it’s a preserved window into a Tibetan-influenced culture that still lives and breathes today.

My Kailash Mansarovar Experience

As an NRI living in the U.S., planning a spiritual journey like the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra felt daunting—until I found Sublime Trails. From the moment I contacted them, Ram Khadka and his team made me feel completely at ease. Every aspect of the journey was meticulously arranged—from travel permits to acclimatization to vegetarian meals suitable for our dietary needs. What stood out most was their deep respect for the spiritual significance of the Yatra. I felt safe, supported, and spiritually uplifted. Highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime journey with Sublime Trails!

Unreal Experience! Worth Every Second

We had Upper Mustang on our bucket list for a while, but honestly, we weren’t sure how doable it would be with limited time. The Jeep tour with Sublime Trails turned out to be the perfect way to explore this part of Nepal without missing out on the big highlights.

The drive itself was a wild mix of off-road adventure and amazing views. From Kagbeni to Lo Manthang, every stretch of the road felt like entering a different world. Massive barren landscapes, red cliffs in Dhakmar, old monasteries that felt like time hadn’t touched them—each day had something new.

Our guide was knowledgeable but also super chill, which made the whole trip feel more like a road trip with a local friend. Everything from permits to accommodation was taken care of, so we didn’t have to stress about logistics at all.

Lo Manthang was the highlight—riding up to a walled city in the middle of nowhere was surreal. The caves at Chhoser were something else too; we actually climbed inside the cliff caves and walked through rooms that are thousands of years old. Insane.

If you're into culture, landscapes, or just want something different from the usual Nepal trekking routes, do this tour. Sublime Trails nailed it with the itinerary and service. 10/10 would recommend.

A Fantastic Adventure

The Kathmandu temples, the wildlife in Chitwan, and the stunning Tibetan monasteries were all incredible, but nothing beat the sunset views in Dhulikhel.

I’ll never forget this journey

What a trip! The combination of sightseeing, nature, and spirituality was exactly what I needed. The time spent in the monasteries and the peaceful walks in Dhulikhel were the highlights for me.

Incredible blend of culture, adventure, and serenity

The monasteries in Tibet were breathtaking, and the wildlife experience in Nepal was unforgettable. Every detail was well-organized and meaningful.
