The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra will cost pilgrims Rs 2.09 lakh this year, up 20 percent from earlier rates. Officials attribute the increase to currency fluctuations and revised travel expenses. The pilgrimage through Lipulekh Pass begins July 4, with ten batches of 50 pilgrims each set to take part in the journey.
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Uttarakhand’s Lipulekh pass is scheduled to begin in June, sending 500 pilgrims to Tibet in 10 batches. The Ministry of External Affairs has chaired a key meeting to finalize preparations, and the MEA is expected to soon release the exact dates and pilgrimage protocols for travelers.
