Tibet’s Visa for Indian Passport Holders Opens Starting June 1

Tibet has recently opened its invitation to Nepalese, allowing them entry to Kailash Mansarovar. Now, Indian Passport holders have also been granted the opportunity to access this spiritual journey from June 1.

Kailash Mansarovar is one of the important religious sites for Hindus. Initially made accessible to Nepalese visitors on May 1, the sacred place has now opened its invitation to Indians starting Thursday, June 1.

Following the Corona epidemic, travel to Kailash Mansarovar was temporarily stopped by Tibet.

According to Tenzin Norbu Lama, the President of the Association of Kailash Tour Operators, there has been a significant rise in Nepalese tourists undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra since its opening to Nepali visitors.

He mentioned that approximately 500 individuals from Nepal embarked on the journey to Kailash in May. In the past, 20,000 to 24,000 tourists from Nepal used to visit the holy religious site Kailash Mansarovar.

According to Sherpa, there is a considerable demand from Indian tourists for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in June. He mentioned that their numbers range between two to three thousand people.

No PCR and Vaccination Required

It has been arranged that PCR and vaccination will not be required to go to Kailash Mansarovar.

With the opening of the Tibet border, there is a new excitement among business people and visitors. Nepal is the gateway to Mt. Kailash.

Business people believe that religious tourists on the Kailash Yatra also visit Pashupatinath and Muktinath. There will also be an increase in tourist arrivals in Nepal.

Mount Kailash is at an elevation of 6,714 meters and is considered the abode of Lord Shiva and Parvati.
