Mount Kailash can now be visited directly from India

Devotees from the Indian Territory will now have access to Mount Kailash, known as Lord Shiva’s home and a sacred site for Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. According to officials, the Lipulekh pass on the India-China border is accessible by roads cut by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) from KMVN Huts in Nabhidhang in Pithoragarh district. By September of this year, this will be finished.

The approximately 6.5-kilometer-long route from KMVN Huts to Lipulekh Pass in Nabhidhang has begun to be cut. The ‘Kailash View Point’ will be ready along the road after the road is finished, according to Vimal Goswami, chief engineer of BRO’s Diamond Project. Hirak Project has been tasked by the Indian government with creating “Kailash View Point.” The majority of the road-cutting work, according to Mr. Goswami, has been completed, and provided the weather cooperates, it will be finished by September.

Prior to the Covid epidemic, the Kailash-Mansarovar yatra over both courses was postponed and has not yet started again. The routes used to be Lipulekh Pass (Uttrakhand) and Nathu La Pass (Sikkim), and pilgrims had to pass through Chinese territory. The Indian government’s efforts to develop a different route for pilgrims to get to Mount Kailash have benefited from the prolonged wait.
