For Whom is Kailash Mansarovar Yatra From United States Trip Suitable For?
Non-Resident Indians (NRI)
Non-resident Indians (NRI) who temporarily reside may like the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from the USA because it starts with a land journey into Nepal (typically Kathmandu) to collect a Chinese group visa and Tibet Travel Permit.
Adventure Altitude Treks Scheduled group tours are run from the Indian side and will allow NRI to do the pilgrimage starting from somewhere other than India whilst enrolling with the group tour, so all permits and logistics are a part of the organized group trip.
Pilgrimage is beyond the land crossing from where you depart to Nepal, so this is convenient for an NRI in the USA temporarily traveling with an organized group as part of their pilgrimage with the proper documentation.
Indian Americans
Permanent residents of Indian descent in the U.S. can also go to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake from Nepal.

Us Citizens
