With the building of new roads, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra would be made simpler

Lord Shiva’s dwelling is known as Mount Kailash. It has traditionally been a well-known destination for pilgrims from all over the globe. There have been several routes via Sikkim and Kathmandu in the past to reach this sacred hill in Tibet. A recent adjustment is anticipated to make the voyage more accessible to Indian worshipers. Access to Mount Kailash will be made simpler with the imminent commencement of the road development project in Lipulekh, Uttarakhand. To support the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, road work has already begun in Uttarakhand and is expected to be finished by 2024.

According to reports, the border road organization would expedite the work, thus early road building may be anticipated. The Indian Army’s chief engineer, Lt Gen Harpal Singh, said in an interview that several portions had already been completed. By the time construction on the road is completed in 2024, pilgrims will be able to drive their cars all the way to the very tip of India. The new route will take pilgrims up to Pithorgath and then to Lipulekh Pass, which is near the China border.

Work has already begun to cut the road from KMVN Huts in Nabhidhang, Pithoragarh district, to Lipulekh Pass on the India-China border, under the supervision of the Border Road Organization (BRO). This road, which would likely be 6.5 kilometers long, will provide travelers with a direct route to Mount Kailash.

Kailash View Point will be placed as a second allure adjacent to the road once it is ready. The Hirak Project has been tasked by the Indian government with monitoring its development. The exhilaration of the pilgrim’s spiritual trip will be further heightened by the stunning, broad vista of Mount Kailash from this location.

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra currently has two paths available. One goes through Sikkim, while the other is via Nepal’s capital city of Kathmandu. The distance from Delhi to Bagdogra on the way from Sikkim is 1,115 kilometers. The remaining 43 kilometers of the circumambulation, or 1,665 km, are traveled on foot. Only 175 kilometres of the whole 1,665 km of this route are in India. Through Kathmandu, Nepal, is the other route.
