Things that you can buy and their approx cost are a Trekking stick (125 INR approx), Portable Oxygen Cylinder (250 INR approx), a Gallon for Mansarovar Jal (450 INR approx), Fruits and Energy drinks (affordable price).

If you have time and want to experience a road journey & enjoy the scenic view, then it is advisable to go on Kailash Yatra by Road route. In case you have less time and want a more comfortable journey, then it is advisable to go Kailash Yatra by Heli route.

The boarding of the helicopter is decided according to the weight of the passenger. Upon reaching Simikot, the weight of the passenger is checked and then the sequence of boarding is decided by the local team of Trip To Temples.

However, the luggage weight must not be more than 10-11kg because most of the pilgrims while returning from Kailash Mansarovar Yatra carry 4 to 5 litres of Holy water from Mansarovar lake.
