KMVN base camp incharge for \u2018Adi Kailash Yatra\u2019 at Dharchula has said that the queries for Kailash Darshan date have swelled multifold this week.”It seems if the \u2018Adi Kailash\u2019 pilgrims are given facility to \u2018Kailash Darshan\u2019 from old Lipulekh pass, the tourists flow in Vyans valley could be doubled,” said Dhan Singh Bisht, base camp incharge at Dharchula.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Kailash Mansarowar yatra\u2019, that was being run by Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India from Lipulekh pass from the year 1981, was suspended after 2019, due to Corona epidemic but later \u00a0Chinese government refused to give visa to Indian pilgrims.”The Kailash view programme from old Lipulekh pass is being viewed as an substitute of \u2018Kailash Mansarowar yatra\u2019\u00a0 till it gets permission from Chinese government,” said a\u00a0 tourist department officials in Pithoragarh<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, over 100 \u2018Adi Kailash\u2019 pilgrims, gathered in Dharchula from different parts of the country, today left for \u2018Adi Kailash\u2019 after the administration issued inner line permits last night following removal of debris on Dharchula- Lipulekh road by Border Roads Organisation (BRO). “The administration had stopped issuing permits after September 10, due to blockade of road at several places,” said Shresth Gunsola, Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Dharchula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
