The Lipulekh labyrinth: name, maps and the Kali river

Nepal must continue to refuse India’s unilateral and unfounded ‘facts on the ground’ against facts on paper.

The reported resumption of the trade/pilgrimage route to Mansarovar through Nepal’s territory of Lipulekh by India and China, without Nepal’s consent, has triggered a sharp reaction in Nepal. The Nepali government has already sent its objection to both countries in writing, protesting strongly against this high-handed treatment, to which India has promptly replied with its counter-claim.
