The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra begins on Monday, marking the pilgrimage’s return after a five-year pause.
Lord Shiva’s devotees will pass through Lipulekh in Uttarakhand and Nathu La Pass in Sikkim. Compared to the conventional Lipulekh Pass approach, the Nathu La route, which was opened in 2015, is a shorter and easier path.
Pilgrims begin their journey across the Indo-China border in Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. From there, they proceed to the sacred Lake Mansarovar and perform the revered circumambulation of Mount Kailash, a spiritual site sacred to Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his 123rd episode of ‘Mann ki Baat’ on Sunday, extended his best wishes to all devotees who will have the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.
