This year, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra will be resumed during the summer season. The visit was stopped after a dispute between India and China in Doklam in 2020.
After two days of talks between the foreign secretaries of the two countries, it was decided to resume the yatra. The meeting also decided to start direct flights between the two countries. They were closed since Kovid.
India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Egypt went to Beijing for this talk. The talks took place under the Foreign Secretary-Cup Foreign Minister Tantra of India and China.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in October in Kazan. The two countries then discussed the situation of mutual relations and agreed to take some steps to improve the relationship.
Most of Kailash Mansarovar’s area in Tibet Most of the areas of Kailash Mansarovar are in Tibet. China explains its rights over Tibet. Kailash mountain range extends from Kashmir to Bhutan. The area has a mountain between two places named Lha Chu and Zhong Chu. It is here that there are two associated peaks of this mountain. Of this, the northern peak is known as Kailash.
The shape of this peak is like a huge Shivling. This place is just 65 km from Lipulekh of Uttarakhand. Currently, a large area of Kailash Mansarovar is under the possession of China. Therefore, China needs permission to go here.
Recognition- Lord Shiva lives on Mount Kailash It is believed in Hinduism that Lord Shiva resides on Mount Kailash with his wife Parvati. This is the reason why it is a very sacred place for Hindus. It is believed in Jainism that the first Tirthankara Rishabhnath attained salvation from here. Prior to 2020, every year about 50 thousand Hindus have been going here on religious journey via India and Nepal.
Since 2020, China has not been allowing Indians to visit Kailash Mansarovar. In the same month, the Government of India has said in response to an RTI that China is breaking two major agreements in 2013 and 2014 by preventing Kailash Mansarovar.
There were two agreements between India and China for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra There have been two major agreements between India and China to go to Kailash Mansarovar…
First agreement: On 20 May 2013, the agreement was reached between India and China to go to Kailash Mansarovar via Lipulekh Pass. The agreement was reached between the then Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid and China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi. This opened the Lipulekh Pass route for the journey.
Second agreement: On 18 September 2014, this agreement was reached in India and China over the route leading to Kailash Mansarovar via Nathula. As Foreign Minister, Sushma Swaraj entered into the agreement with External Affairs Minister Wang Yi.
The language of both agreements is almost the same. These agreements are applicable from the day of signing of the foreign minister of both countries. After every 5 years, the matter of increasing its time limit automatically is written in the agreement.
The height of Mount Kailash was less than Everest, but no one could climb so far 7000 people have climbed the world’s highest mountain Everest so far. Its height is 8848 meters, while the height of Mount Kailash is about 2000 meters less than Everest. Still no one has been able to climb this till date. Some people have been successful in revolving around its 52 km.
Actually, the climb of Mount Kailash is absolutely standing. The angle of the mountain is more than 65 degrees. At the same time, Mount Everest has an angle of 40 -50 degrees, so Kailash climb is difficult. There have been many attempts to climb it. The last attempt was in 2001. However, climbing on Kailash is now completely banned.
Devotees visiting Mount Kailash from Vyas Valley of Uttarakhand Since the closure of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, devotees were visiting Mount Kailash from Vyas Valley of Uttarakhand. Last year, a team of officials of Uttarakhand Tourism Department, Border Roads Organization (BRO) and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) discovered a clearly visible place of Mount Kailash.
For the first time on 3 October 2024, the holy Kailash Mountains from Indian territory visited the old Lipulekh Pass. It is located in Vyas Valley of Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand.
