Tour Details

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2024  is a sacred pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains, taking them to the holy Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, located in the remote southwestern part of Tibet Autonomous Region in China. These destinations are considered extremely sacred in these religions.

The traditional route for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra involves traveling through Nepal, but in recent years, a new route was opened through the Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand, India. This route offers an alternate and more direct way for pilgrims to reach Kailash and Mansarovar. The Lipulekh Pass is located in the border region of India and China, in the state of Uttarakhand.

Here are some key points about the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra from the Lipulekh Pass route:

1. Route: The Lipulekh route starts from the Indian town of Dharchula in Uttarakhand. Pilgrims travel by road to the Lipulekh Pass, which is situated at an elevation of around 5,000 meters (16,400 feet).

2. Permits: Pilgrims require permits from both the Indian and Chinese governments to undertake this yatra. These permits are usually obtained through a rigorous application process that involves adhering to specific guidelines and deadlines.

3. Altitude and Challenges: The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is known for its high altitudes and challenging terrain. Altitude sickness can be a concern, and pilgrims are advised to acclimatize properly and take necessary precautions.

4. Duration: The duration of the yatra can vary, but it typically takes around 10 to 20 days to complete the entire journey. This includes travel time, acclimatization, and the pilgrimage itself.

5. Religious Significance: Mount Kailash is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva in Hinduism, the residence of the deity Demchok in Tibetan Buddhism, and a sacred site for Jains as well. Lake Mansarovar is considered to be of great spiritual importance and is associated with purity and enlightenment.

6. Environmental Protection: Given the delicate ecosystem of the region, environmental protection is a significant concern. Pilgrims are encouraged to follow eco-friendly practices and not to disturb the natural environment.

7. Weather: The weather in the region can be quite unpredictable, with temperatures ranging from cold to freezing. The yatra season typically opens during the summer months when the weather is relatively milder.

8. Medical Facilities: Due to the remote location and challenging terrain, medical facilities along the route are limited. Pilgrims are advised to carry essential medications and consult their doctors before embarking on the journey.
