In a significant spiritual and cultural revival, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra has resumed in June 2025 after a five-year pause. This sacred pilgrimage, which leads travelers through the breathtaking high-altitude landscapes of Tibet to the revered Mount Kailash and the serene Mansarovar Lake, is now open to eligible Indian citizens once again.
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra holds deep significance for followers of Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and Bon traditions, as the majestic Mount Kailash and the pristine Mansarovar Lake are considered sources of divine energy and inner peace. The journey, organized by the Ministry of External Affairs, offers a unique opportunity for devotees and adventure seekers to experience the region's rich spiritual and cultural heritage.
To be eligible for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, applicants must be Indian citizens between the ages of 18 and 70, hold a valid Indian passport, and meet strict medical fitness requirements. The pilgrimage is conducted through two main routes - the Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand and the Nathu La Pass in Sikkim - with varying durations and costs.
