Nepal set for pilgrim influx as Kailash yatra resumes

After 5-year halt over Covid and border tensions, Indian pilgrims are finally allowed to undertake sacred journey.

Nepali tourism entrepreneurs this year expect to cater to at least 25,000 Indian pilgrims embarking on the revered Kailash Manasarovar yatra in Tibet, China. After improved diplomatic ties with New Delhi, Beijing officially resumed the pilgrimage for Indian citizens in June, following a five-year hiatus.
