The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is set to resume on June 30, 2025, after a four-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pilgrimage will be conducted via the Uttarakhand route under the supervision of the Ministry of External Affairs and the Government of Uttarakhand, with Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam (KMVN) managing the operations.
The yatra will start from Delhi, proceeding through Lipulekh Pass in Pithoragarh district to enter China. 250 pilgrims, divided into five batches of 50, will undertake this 22-day spiritual journey. The first group enters China on July 10, and the last group returns by August 22.
Important stopovers include Tanakpur, Dharchula, Gunji, and Nabhidhang on the way to Kailash, and Bundi, Chaukori, and Almora on the return route.
To ensure safety, medical screenings will be carried out in Delhi and Gunji, supported by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).
