Second Phase of Uttarakhand's Adi Kailash Yatra Postponed Until September 20
The second phase of the Adi Kailash pilgrimage in Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh district has been postponed until September 20 due to adverse weather and road closures. The Bailey bridge near Kulagad on the Dharchula-Gunji route was washed away twice in two weeks, delaying travel. The Border Roads Organisation is reconstructing the bridge, and the Army has prepared an alternative route. Issuance of Inner Line Permits for pilgrims will resume on September 20, subject to favorable conditions.
