Mount Kailash Ticket Policy & Itinerary Adjustment Notice
According to a joint notice from the Ngari Tourism Bureau and the Mount Kailash Scenic Area, a new ticketing policy has been implemented with immediate effect: Tickets are strictly limited daily, no advanced reservations are accepted, and our tour guide must physically arrive in Darchen to register with the Tourism Bureau before purchasing the next day's tickets.
Due to the uncertainties of on-site queuing and daily capacity limits, we have formulated the following contingency plans to maximize the success rate of securing your tickets and ensuring your travel experience:
Normal Scenario: If we successfully purchase the tickets on Day 1, the itinerary will proceed as originally planned.
Contingency Plan (If tickets cannot be secured on Day 1):
Postponement: The visit schedule will be postponed by one day. The itinerary will be adjusted to visit the sacred Lake Manasarovar first, and the Mt. Kailash tour will instead commence on the morning of Day 3 (after arriving in Darchen).
Condensed Traveling Days: The original 3-day tour duration may be condensed into 2 days.
Itinerary Optimization: To better align with the ticketing timeframes, the schedule before and after the visit may be adjusted, and some nearby sightseeing spots might be omitted.
