Nepal blocks Kailash Mansarovar yatra route via Lipulekh sparking fresh border dispute with India

Lipulekh is claimed by Nepal as undisclosed route access

Nepal has objected to India and China’s Kailash Mansarovar Yatra plan that would use the Lipulekh Pass. Kathmandu says Lipulekh is its territory and that it was not consulted over the route, while India asserts it owns the pass. Nepal has told both countries to resolve the border dispute through diplomacy tied to historical agreements.
