Kailash Manasarovar Yatra 2025: Cost, Route & Why Prices Are Rising for Indian Pilgrims

The sacred Kailash Manasarovar Yatra 2025 is now open for Indian passport holders, bringing renewed hope to spiritual seekers who have long awaited this transformative pilgrimage. However, one key update that every yatri must consider this year is the significant cost increase for the yatra—particularly for the popular Kathmandu-Kerung overland route.

📈 Why Is the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra Cost Increasing in 2025?

If you're planning the yatra, it's important to know that the cost of Kailash Manasarovar Yatra has increased by approximately 45% compared to 2019. Back then, pilgrims could complete the journey for INR 1,60,000–1,75,000, but for 2025, the expected cost ranges between INR 2,40,000–2,60,000.

Main Reasons for the Cost Surge:

• Post-COVID tourism regulations in Tibet have raised permit and visa charges.
• Logistics and operational costs have gone up, especially for overland transport, guides, and accommodations.
• Limited travel windows due to weather and political considerations mean fewer batches and higher per-person costs.
• Chinese border protocols and increased compliance procedures require more resources and time.

This cost rise is not just inflationary but reflects the new realities of conducting a safe, comfortable, and well-organized yatra through a remote and politically sensitive region.

🚍 Route: Kathmandu to Kailash via Kerung – A Scenic Overland Journey

In 2025, the Kathmandu–Kerung overland route remains one of the most favored and feasible options for Indian passport holders. The journey begins in the spiritual heart of Nepal and takes you across the Rasuwa border at Kerung, entering the Tibetan plateau, and eventually to the sacred Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar.

Highlights of the Route:

• Acclimatization in Kerung and Saga to ensure safety at high altitudes.
• Majestic views of Mt. Kailash, revered in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon faiths.
• Holy dip in Lake Manasarovar, one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world.
• 3-day parikrama (kora) around Mt. Kailash – the ultimate spiritual walk.
