NEW DELHI: For the second successive year, Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, organised by ministry of external affairs in coordination with Chinese govt, will take place from June to Aug 2026. The Yatra had been reopened by China last year amid signs of improvement in bilateral ties, following completion of the troop disengagement process in eastern Ladakh.This year, 10 batches, each consisting of 50 yatris, are scheduled to travel through Uttarakhand, crossing over at Lipulekh Pass; and another 10 batches, each consisting of 50 yatris, will travel through Sikkim state and cross over at Nathu La.The yatris will be selected from among applicants through a computer-generated, and gender-balanced selection process, MEA said. “Applicants may register on the site and submit their applications,” MEA added.
