The Ministry of External Affairs has opened registrations for the 2026 Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, with the deadline set for May 19. Applicants must be Indian citizens and hold a valid passport, and meet the stated eligibility conditions. The yatra will be offered via two routes, Lipulekh Pass and Nathu La, each with different durations and costs.
Kedarnath Temple reopened for devotees on Wednesday, officially kicking off the Kedarnath leg of the Char Dham Yatra 2026 with traditional rituals under tight security. The Yatra began earlier with Gangotri and Yamunotri in mid-April, and Badrinath is scheduled to open next. Organisers have introduced mandatory registration requirements for pilgrims.
