Mission Nepal Holidays proudly achieved the first successful Kailash Kora of 2026 and became the first travel company to successfully operate the Kailash Parikrama in 2026, despite extreme snowfall and challenging weather conditions around Mount Kailash.

This historic successful Kailash Kora and successful Kailash Parikrama was completed during one of the most difficult seasons in recent years, proving the experience, professionalism, and operational strength of Mission Nepal Holidays in organizing high-altitude spiritual journeys.

The pilgrimage group included:

  • 2 Canadian nationals
  • 1 Australian national
  • 13 Nepali pilgrims

With the support of 5 experienced guides, the team successfully completed the sacred 52 km Kailash Kora (Kailash Parikrama) with an impressive 100% success rate, even under harsh snow-covered trail conditions.

Historic Successful Kailash Kora in Heavy Snowfall

The 2026 Mount Kailash season began with unusually heavy snowfall, creating major challenges for pilgrims and travel operators. Many groups faced delays and difficult conditions, but Mission Nepal Holidays successfully led its group to complete the sacred Kailash Parikrama safely and successfully.

This achievement marks one of the earliest and most successful Kailash Kora journeys of the year.

The successful completion of this Kailash Kora pilgrimage demonstrates the importance of experienced guides, proper acclimatization, strong logistics, and dedicated support teams in high-altitude Himalayan expeditions.

83-Year-Old Nepali Pilgrim Successfully Completes Kailash Parikrama

One of the most inspiring moments of this successful Kailash Parikrama was the achievement of an 83-year-old Nepali pilgrim, who successfully completed the full 52 km Kailash Kora alongside his son.

Despite the difficult weather and snowy trails, his determination and spiritual devotion inspired every member of the group and became a powerful symbol of faith, endurance, and perseverance during the journey.

Another major highlight of this successful Kailash Kora 2026 was the presence of Mr. Tilak Shrestha, who completed his 115th journey to Mount Kailash.

Alongside him, the expedition received tremendous support from:

  • Mr. Ownchuk Sherpa
  • Mr. Samir Rai
  • Mr. Prem Rai

Their dedication, teamwork, and commitment were instrumental in achieving this successful Mount Kailash Kora in 2026.
