16 Days Simikot
Kailash Zhangmu Tour is one of the popular tours in Tibet.This allows
superb Himalayan scenery including the Mt. Everest , Holy Himalaya Mt. Kailash,
ancient cities beautiful landscape and Tibetan monasteries. Simikot Kailash Zhangmu Tour was opened
in 1993 for travelers. It is the shortest and most practical tour for trekkers
in terms of both elevation and distance. The tour starts from Simikot, which is
situated at an elevation of 2910 meters, and climbs up to Na-Lagna pass (4330
meters) before reaching the arid Tibetan Plateau. From Simikot, it is a 6-day
journey to reach the Tibetan border town, which is plenty of time to be
acclimatized to high altitude. There is no direct air service from Kathmandu to
Simikot, so travelers generally have to fly to Simikot via Nepalgunj, the
regional hub of Western Nepal. The Nepalgunj-Simikot flight operates early in
the morning, so we must stay a night in Nepalgunj to catch the flight the next
day.
