Kailash Mansarovar Yatra: Challenges, Routes, and Impact of Nepal Floods on Pilgrims
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a challenging pilgrimage through high-altitude Himalayan terrain, reaching elevations above 5,000 metres. Pilgrims face physical hardships such as thin air, steep climbs, and unpredictable weather, including risks like altitude sickness. The pilgrimage holds spiritual significance for multiple religions and follows historic routes, including the Lipulekh Pass. Recent flash floods in Nepal's Rasuwa district disrupted key routes, causing damage and leaving nearly 400 pilgrims missing, prompting ongoing rescue efforts and Indian assistance to Nepal.
