The short answer
Searches such as Kailash yatra 2025 or 2026 are common because dates and rules change from year to year. Border openings, Chinese permit rules, the government yatra schedule and group sizes can all shift, so no guide can promise a fixed date years ahead.
To plan, decide your preferred season, spring to early autumn, then ask operators what departures are open and what is confirmed. Treat any date as provisional until permits and flights are in place, and keep flexibility in your leave and in your insurance.
