The Ministry of External Affairs advises Indian travelers undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra to obtain all required Chinese visas and entry permits prior to their departure and to confirm the legitimacy of their tour operator. Indian citizens were stranded in Nepal due to inadequate paperwork, according to the Times of India. The annual Kailash Mansarovar Yatra will take place from June to August via two routes, Lipulekh Pass and Nathu La, according to ETv Bharat. The Nathu La route is accessible, according to the Times of India. The Mansarovar Yatra resumed last year after a gap of nearly five years as part of efforts to normalise the relations between India and China, according to The Hindu.
