Amit Kulkarni - Founder, Raghukul Holidays

Mahadev. The God to Gods.

He calls and the devout just go, come hell or high water. Period.

His abode. Mount Kailash, perched at an incredible 6638 meters above sea level on the southern tip of the Tibetan plateau.

The tour consists of 13 days. The trip is a mix of walking and being driven around in weather & terrain proof vehicles. Commencement to conclusion, and all points enroute, the emphasis is to give you the best in every way, be it the best of accommodation, food, guides….at a reasonable price. This is by no means a walk-in-the-park-next-door scenario despite which, given our experience, we have put in place every means to secure your well being with the expectation that our participants understand themselves, their capabilities and act accordingly.   

Aside from being a fairly tough trek, it takes you to a place variously termed ‘the roof of the world” because of its height and a “cold desert” in parts. You experience extreme climatic conditions, thin air, complete desolation…..and the presence of Rudra!

A life-time experience where you admire the scenery, the surroundings and bounties of nature, you also experience first-hand the sheer grit and dedication of those who came eons back with the bare minimum of resources just to take a glimpse of the God’s abode!   

Given our kind of experience, we can go on endlessly about the place and our capabilities. But they say “the proof of the pudding is in its eating”. Need further prompting? Well, do glance through testimonials where participants from the past sojourn have mentioned their experiences.
