- Some bad news are coming through CIPSC (similar to last year) where they are doing the quota system for 2015. CIPSC will allow 50 person to enter Nepal – Tibet border (Purang entry) every two days. The only reason they give is due to Xuedun festival in early September 2015. We request all travellers who has already booked with us to make sure not to purchase flight ticket until we get Tibet Permit in our hand. This is the last minute verbal notice we got from our CIPSC agent. It will be challenging to get the quota. We will update as soon as we get more information.

We have updated the latest news above.
I heard the KMY trip is already started by indian govt. when is your team planning to start the trip. I was booked for 13 may by overland. Pls intimate the fresh dates ASAP for overland as well as for helicopter.
so what is the latest update for kailash yatra. also want to know this new route u said from purang. cant find this detail of purang.
hi why these Tibet permit issue always exist?
Sorry, they do not give us exact reason why. Suddenly Chinese government stops giving permit and sometimes they ask us to send the name list within 2 days. So we have no clear answer to that.
Can you please confirm that when again permit issuing office will be opened? Is it possible to go in September to kailash?
