The Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra through the Lipulekh Pass was halted in 2019 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the route is still closed by Chinese authorities. This holy trek takes devotees and adventurers to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.

Starting September 15, pilgrims can drive from Dharchula to Lipulekh. From there, they will walk about 800 meters to reach the viewing point for Kailash peak. Pilgrims can also easily see Om Parvat from within India during the same trip, said Arya. Ahead of the official opening, Uttarakhand Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj and his wife Amrita Rawat visited the old Lipulekh Pass on June 22 and viewed the Kailash peak. Pithoragarh District Magistrate Reena Joshi mentioned that the department is creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure the smooth and safe movement of pilgrims and tourists. Mount Kailash, standing at 6,638 meters (21,778 feet), is considered the home of Lord Shiva and Parvati. It is the ultimate destination for devotees seeking liberation (moksha). The Yatra usually takes 2-3 weeks and involves challenging high-altitude trekking.
