Kailash Bon Tour Details

Kailash Bon tour is a unique tour specially design for Bon followers around the world. We are the only travel agency in Tibet who has decades of experience in operating the Kailash Bon tour. 

Bon (Bön) was the old religion of Tibet before the arrival of Buddhism in the 7th century AD dating back more than 3800yrs. Bön is spelled either Bön or Bon and is sometimes called Bonism. There are still some monasteries and the people who worship the Bon religion in Tibet and especially many doing the kora around Bonri and Mt. Kailash.

Based on the extensive and profound ancient Shangshung culture, absorbing the cultural essence of the surrounding areas, the Bon religion formed the unique Tibetan religious culture. We are the only agency that has decades of experience in operating the Bon tours in Tibet and we know about the Bon better than anyone else.
