Updated: June 15, 2025 12:25

After a five-year hiatus, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra has officially resumed, with the first batch of pilgrims flagged off in a grand ceremony in New Delhi. Minister of State for External Affairs Pabitra Margherita presided over the event, marking a historic moment for devotees embarking on this sacred journey.
 
Key Highlights:
 
  • First batch of pilgrims flagged off from Jawaharlal Nehru Bhawan, New Delhi.
  • Minister Pabitra Margherita praised the Chinese government’s cooperation in resuming the Yatra.
  • 750 pilgrims selected through a computer-generated, gender-balanced lottery system.
  • Two official routes: Lipulekh Pass (Uttarakhand) and Nathu La Pass (Sikkim), both now fully motorable.
  • Yatra suspended since 2020 due to COVID-19 and India-China border tensions.
  • Diplomatic efforts led to the Yatra’s revival, with agreements finalized in G20 meetings.
 
This spiritual pilgrimage, revered by Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists, is expected to strengthen cultural ties and religious traditions.
