There are two routes for this Yatra. The route through Lipulekh Pass (Uttarakhand), which involves some trekking is estimated to cost about Rs.1.6 lakh per person. The duration of the Yatra is 24 days for each batch including 3 days in Delhi for preparatory work.
This route passes through important sites like Narayan Ashram and Patal Bhuvaneshwar.
Pilgrims or Yatris can also see the scenic beauty of Chialekh Valley, or the ‘Om Parvat’ which has the natural occurrence of snow in the shape of ‘Om’ on this mountain.
The route through Nathu La Pass (Sikkim) is motorable and suitable for senior citizens unable to undertake arduous trekking.
From Gangtok, the route passes through scenic places like Hangu lake, and through the vast landscape of the Tibetan plateau. It is estimated to cost about Rs 2 lakhs person, and duration would be 21 days including 3 days in Delhi for preparatory work.
The statement also said senior citizens would have priority on the Nathu La route if they opt for it.
Two persons may apply and undertake the Yatra together, subject to conditions. Yatris can select both routes indicating priority or select only one of the routes. They will be allotted a route and batch through computerized draw of lots, the statement said.
The Ministry of External Affairs has been organising the annual Kailash Mansarovar Yatra since 1981. It was discontinued earlier due to strained relations between India and China. The Nathu La route was started in 2015. UNI
