Kailash Yatra from Lipulekh Pass Uttrakhand

One of the most popular pilgrimages trips of the world, Kailash Mansarovar yatra via Lipulekh pass India is organised by Ministry of External Afairs Govt of India with the help of several Central and State bodies. Every year MEA takes around 400 pilgrims on this holy yatra. By road from India. The Government of India organises tours to Lake Manasarovar. This is a very good 25 days long pilgrimage via Lipulekh pass, Uttrakhand but the disadvantage is that it is too long in duration and has to be booked well in advance and there is no certainty that one can go despite being in physical shape, because the number of seats is limited and participants are chosen by a draw by MInistry of External Affairs, India. About 400 people make it from the 6000 that apply each year.
